I’ll never understand PETA

I picked up a Time Magazine at work last week. Read this interview with PETA wacko Ingrid Newkirk. I really have no idea what reality these people live in. E.g.:

How do you justify advocating animal rights in a world filled with poverty and starvation? Joslyn DeGroot YPSILANTI, MICH.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that’s all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

Uh-huh.
