There is little in life I hate more than being scooped by the hipper-than-thou scenesters over at the peta2 blog, or “blizzy,” as they call it. But, it happened here in a big way, and I’m man enough to admit it. They reported on the PB&J Campaign, oh, like a month ago, but it’s so cool I wanted to give it a shout out here too.
I love the PB&J Campaign’s mission statement. So simple and to the point: "The PB&J Campaign is working to combat environmental destruction and improve animal welfare by reducing the amount of animal products people eat. The PB&J Campaign approaches positive change one meal at a time by illuminating the differences one single dining decision can make."

What's the best reason of all to make a PB&J instead of, oh, say, a chicken breast? As their Web site states: "Saving water, fighting global warming, and preserving habitat are all great reasons to have a PB&J for lunch, but, if you like animals, there's the added benefit of not killing them. It takes about 16 PB&J sandwiches to save a chicken's life, for example."

what a great campaign!!
who can resist a pb&j anyway? one thing carnivores and herbivores can agree on is the deliciousness of this fine sammage!
looove this---
microwave peanut butter until melty and gooey. meanwhile, toast some white bread. when toast pops up, spread with jelly or jam, then pour melty peanut butter all over bread. may be served open face. probably necessary to eat with a fork and knife!!! yaaay for pb&js :0)

PB&J, are the best sandwiches
ever.
Also, the veggie sandwiches are also the best.
The great thing about these
sandwiches are that they are
"CRUELTY FREE."
YUM! YUM!
