Some folks at our PETA headquarters were moved when they read that after spending the last few days packing up bags of food for needy families, a General Motors plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, has shut down, and thousands of workers have lost their jobs. So, we're extending the same offer that we gave to AT&T folks last weekâbecause we still have bonus Tofurkeys left. So, if you're among the first 100 laid-off GM employees to contact us, we'll send you a healthy, hearty Tofurky roast to share with your family this holiday season.
Our best wishes and hopes for a brighter New Year to you and yours.

Great idea, PETA! Yesterday, I went grocery shopping at Fred Meyer and I bought a Tofurky feast! I plan to make it for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow evening. :)

Very sad news for a lot of workers.
The good news is if you follow a vegetarian diet you can do so very cheaply. Buy grains (oatmeal, brown rice, wheat berries, etc.) in bulk, and either cello-packed or canned kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils, split peas, etc. Buy fruits and veggies in season, and big bags of potatoes.
Not only will you thrive, but your health may take a pleasant, unexpected upturn.
