Outdoor Company Refuses PETA’s Fat Kid Billboard


Showing a pudgy-faced kid about to scarf down a hamburger, with the tagline “Feeding Kids Meat Is Child Abuse. Fight the Fat,” and steering motorists to GoVeg.com, PETAs new billboard wont be giving Jefferson City, MO residents food for thought anytime soon. The areas outdoor-advertising company, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, has refused to display the ad. PETA claims the consumption of meat and other animal products has been linked to diabetes, obesity, and a host of other life-threatening diseases.

One wonders what the Atkins diet guy thinks about this.
