1) don't eat meat. How many fat vegetarians do you know? The number one way of getting too many calories is to have meat as part of your diet.

Check out the The Physicians Commitee Vegeatarian Started Kit or The PETA Vegetarian Starter Kit.

2) Stop eating excess sugars (i.e. soda, candy).

3) When you eat, eat big foods (cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage) that fill you up but have low caloric density. Drink a glass of water before you eat.

3) Exercise more. Don't sit if you can walk, don't walk if you can run, don't use the elevator if you can use the stairs, don't use the phone/email if you can walk over to their office/cubicle. If you can ride your bike or walk to work, do it! And realize that you are able to do something that most people wish they could do!

I say these things as someone who weighs the same as I did in High School, 23 years later. (good god, has it been that long!??) Oh, and I'm in way better shape now than I was then.

As much as I don't like cruelty to animals, I wonder how peta.com'd feel if McDonald's went and sued them over their anti-McDonald's site, including obvious misuse of McDonald's(tm) "Happy Meal"(r) and Ronald McDonald(c) trademark... Sigh.. silly judge... domain-names are for rabbits.

Dougheny's statements imply no intention to sell or profit from the site.

What's wrong with parodies? If they're bad, then why does PETA have this link on their homepage?

My understanding is that the parody exemption for IP rights violations applies only to copyrighted works; trademark violations cannot use this defense.

I don't think that's true but if it were McDonalds could go after PETA.
Check out PETA's Unhappy Meal campaign . I wasn't sure what I though of this decision until I saw this page. If PETA is using parody campaigns like this to promote their cause, I don't see what business they have complaining about parodies of their own organization.

Hypocritical...
Deriding the parody
When they do the same

It is interesting that a groups can claim they have won a "landmark case" against a site that parodies them and then on the same page go and parody another company (McDonalds) to further their political views.
