Owain Yeoman? Ever heard of him? I haven’t. He’s on Kitchen Confidential, which I’ve never seen, and on some other show called The Mentalist. Okay, whatever. He’s the latest to jump on the PETA crazytrain. The caption on this photo reads,

The Mentalist star Owain Yeoman strips off to show his abs in the latest ad for PETA, and proudly states: “I am Owain Yeoman, and I am a Vegetarian.” The actor says his wife effectively tricked him into vegetarianism by serving up ‘faux turkey’ but pretending it was the real thing – and he has been a convert ever since. “The fact that the meat on my plate was once a living, breathing creature became something I could no longer ignore or justify as food. As someone who felt they were a confirmed meat-eater, I guess ultimately if I can do it, then anyone can,” says Yeoman. “It’s a really easy choice to make. And it’s a humane choice to make.” The ad is part of PETA’s new series of vegetarian testimonials that star a growing list of celebrities. In a TV ad, Yeoman says: “It doesn’t take a ‘mentalist’ to realize that eating meat just doesn’t make sense anymore.” And in another, he says: “It’s not healthy, it’s devastating to our planet, and it means a cruel, painful death for literally billions of animals every year.”

If he really felt bad about eating animals, you’d think that he’d go whole hog (ha) and hate anything that even resembled animal, whether in look or taste. I mean, if you really think meat is murder, then why would you want to try to make your food kind of taste or mimic its living, breathing counterpart? Come on, you veggies, if you’re going to be a zealot then do it right! Don’t try to disguise your tofu as anything other than what it is–a cold, white, slimy blob. Hey, kind of sounds like my ex.
