PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is known for pushing the limits. PETA created this TV ad to be aired during this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, but NBC will not allow it to air.
According to PETA’s blog, “When we first submitted our newest commercial to NBC in the hopes of running it during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the station asked us to give more information about the cruelty behind turkey slaughter to back up the statements made in the ad. But even after we sent the network this New York Times article chronicling the grisly facts about turkey factory farming, it nixed the ad, claiming that “this commercial does not meet NBC Universal standards.” “

Breakfast: A donut (only because someone brought a box of them to the office)
Lunch: Healthy Choice pumpkin ravioli
Dinner: Went to The Melting Pot for “Teacher Appreciation Day” (yes, my one-night-a-week class at Northern VA Community College counts)! The veggie platter there is awesome, with ravioli, eggplant, portabello mushroom, artichoke hearts, asparagus, and tofu. (Plus, it’s more food than the meat plate!)
