Vegan Joe Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 http://www.usnews.com/blogs/fresh-greens/2009/05/06/is-oprahs-kfc-promotion-hypocritical.html The Queen of All Media announced recently that she wanted to help cash-strapped families in the recession by putting a chicken on every table, courtesy of Kentucky Fried Chicken (knowing her history, she certainly wouldn't be handing out free burgers).

Richard Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Certainly, a silly move, why would you want to promote KFC? However, if another celebrity did this, then that website probably would have reported it in a positive way. Media . Peta certainly need to be more careful in who they choose to associate themselves with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I think Oprah is just a mainstream hack. She loves the cute widdle animals and will abstain from eating meat herself at times as a weight loss device, but she's always been a mouthpiece for the status quo. Even her seemingly alternative things are really just mainstream, packaged as alternative. She even did a whole bunch of stuff to support Bush's middle east wars. She was a big part of why the man from her state of Illinois is in the president's seat right now, and he's got the same dynamic going on... riding the alternative bandwagon right into mainstream, corporate driven, status quo land.

Davey Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Oh actually I work for PETA and we believe that Oprah (like many people) was just told a mistruth. We wrote to her in private and requested she view the video of our undercover investigations. Obviously its embarrassing since we just picked her as our "Person of the Year", but I think she's still a work in progress. After all, we didn't all go vegan overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aryan Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 She went vegetarian for 30 days once and acted like it was a huge sacrifice. When it comes to animal rights, Oprah is swimming in hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
