An ‘interesting’ old PETA US ad has resurfaced once again, to highlight the connection between eating meat and impotence. Ladies and gents, I introduce you to Rocket Boy!
When our buddies over at PETA US heard that Virgin chair Sir Richard Branson was unveiling the WhiteKnightTwo (a carrier aircraft created to launch a commercial six-passenger spaceship), VP Bruce Friedrich sent Branson a letter asking to buy ad space on the seat backs.
In his letter, Bruce writes:
By following our advice and ditching meat, your male passengers could rise to new heights. Cholesterol and saturated fat clog arteries and block blood flow to all of a man’s vital organs—not just to his heart. Physicians report that the link is clear: Eating meat can cause impotence. Any of your passengers who have trouble “lifting off” will be glad to hear that impotence—as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and prostate cancer—can likely be prevented and even reversed by switching to a healthy vegetarian diet.
No reply as yet, but I’ll keep you in the loop. And here’s little Rocket Boy preparing for take-off…
