Pamela's diet
PeTA preaches veganism, which means you don't consume or wear any animal products.
Pamela, meanwhile, is a PeTA spokeswoman, so she must be vegan, right? Wrong!
When she first bounced into public view as Playboy's Miss February 1990, she listed fried chicken as one of her "turn-ons"! Whatever works for you!
But even now, she gets off on just a common or garden vegetarian diet, according to Famousveggie.com. This tells us she won't eat red meat, chicken, pork, fish or seafood. But more interesting is what it says about the things she will eat!
The same source defines three kinds of vegetarians, but doesn't tell us which one Pam is. Is she a lacto-vegetarian, who eats and drinks dairy products? Or is she an ovo-vegetarian, who eats eggs? Or is she, in common with most vegetarians, a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, consuming both eggs and dairy products?
Does Pam's menu each morning comprise yoghurt, followed by an omelette topped with cheese, with buttered toast on the side, all washed down with a glass of milk?
If so, then good for her: that's a nutritious breakfast! But hardly in keeping with the PeTA philosophy that animals are not for human use!
Carnivore cash
Meanwhile, Pam's more than happy to cash in on others' love for meat. In 2006, a new restaurant opened in Hollywood called BlackSteel, with a menu featuring such fine fare as smoked ham hock, crab cake, and ahi tuna.
And who is a partner in this carnivores' paradise? Pam, no less!
Commented Lisa Timmons, editor of the Paparazzi weblog A Socialite's Life, on the BlackSteel episode: "Next thing we know, we're going to find out your breasts are really made of veal."(1)
Or for something a little more current, the meat-eschewing Pammy was among guest celebrants in April 2009 at the grand opening of Sapphire New York Gentlemen's Club and Prime 333 Steakhouse. And that's a double dose of "meat"! (For the more innocent among our readers, a "gentlemen's club" these days means a strip joint.)
