...I'd certainly go out and buy a nice joint of Welsh lamb after seeing this nonsense.

It is in Merthyr Tydfil.PETA, one of the animal rights groups must be desperate to put up an advert like this in a town which has poor employment and high dependantcy on social services.
Merthyr was the "white socks"capital of the World now,it seems, it is the Worlds capital for feeding kids meat according to the gospel according to PETA.Sad people.

As a vegetarian for the past fifty years (and with no intention of changing) I can concur that the advert is rubbish.
It is true that,
on average, vegetarians carry less weight than meat eaters, but this also applies to pescatorians.
However, feeding kids on Big Macs and KFC...

Now I got taken to task for mentioning "Vegan Speak" a while back.
You now have seen a classic example of it and what do you think of it?
My thoughts are that quite frankly they make themselves out to be totally ridiculous.
That advertisement is a disgrace and should be banned. I wonder if he who likes to ban things will agree with me for a change!
I shall not be holding my breath.

This disgusting show of bone-headed insensitivity was rightly banned last year.
