Animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) will launch a pro-vegetarian campaign in Buenos Aires later this year. Who better to be the spokesperson for the “vegetarian revolution” than the offspring of one of the most famous Argentines ever? *The granddaughter of revolutionary Ernesto “Ché” Guevara will be the spokesperson of a campaign by PETA to promote vegetarianism…An English version of the campaign is said to also be in the works; I wonder if PETA will place a billboard of Lydia and her carrots in Miami?
“After discussing it with my family I decided to participate in this campaign. As a vegetarian I will use my grandfather’s name for a just cause I believe in,” she said after a PETA photo shoot on Wednesday…
“PETA’s fight for animal rights was one of the reasons I became a vegetarian. This lifestyle has become a true revolution that catches the attention of more people and that is a healthy alternative for the planet” [ed. – personal translation]
