Jodie Marsh launches new PETA ads

London – Standing next to a blown-up photo of her nude body painted like a butcher’s diagram of body parts, TV star and best-selling author Jodie Marsh – who recently appeared on Celebrity Big Brother – will launch her brand-new pro-vegetarian ad for PETA at the Smithfield meat market. The ad, which Jodie is launching on Valentine’s Day, carries the tagline “All Animals Have the Same Parts – Have a Heart, Go Vegetarian”. Jodie’s point? There’s plenty of wonderful, libido-lifting vegetarian fare that can keep a body young, fit and healthy enough to love and live a long time. Some veggie foods, including asparagus, avocados, oyster mushrooms and dark chocolate, are even rumoured to have aphrodisiac properties. Realising that factory-farmed animals are made of flesh, blood and bone, just as humans are, is enough to make anyone’s passion fade. They have the same bodily organs, the same five senses and the same range of emotions. And, of course, we all feel fear and pain, and none of us wants to die violently. “I don’t eat any animals”, says Jodie, who went vegetarian at age 9. “I could never eat a dog, and I don’t see how a chicken, a cow, a sheep, a pig or any animal is any different, because all animals have a mind and a personality.” [PETA]
