Lying virtually naked and covered with barbecue sauce on a giant plate—complete with to-scale cutlery and a side salad—emblazoned with the words "Try to Relate to Who's on Your Plate," a sexy PETA supporter will undoubtedly turn heads in Washington on World Vegan Day, an annual international holiday that promotes and celebrates healthy, humane vegan meals every November 1. Her point? That animals raised and killed for food are capable of feeling joy, love, pain, and fear just as humans are.

"PETA is challenging people to think about what 'meat' really is: the corpse of an abused animal who did not want to die," says PETA Campaign Manager Katie Arth. "With all the delicious mock meats and faux dairy products available these days, there's never been a better time to go vegan."

In addition to damaging the environment and human health, eating animal products causes suffering on a massive scale. In today's industrialized meat and dairy industries, chickens and turkeys often have their throats cut while they're still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, and calves are taken away from their mothers within 48 hours of birth.

The Palestinian and Israeli negotiating teams have sent a joint letter to the U.S. Special Envoy, Martin Indyk, expressing their desire to take the peace talks back to the United States. More specifically, Chief PLO negotiator, Saeb Erekat and Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni would like to do some personal shopping at malls in the Washington DC Metro area. The letter, written by Livni and approved by Erekat, and hand-delivered to Mr. Indyk, states “each time we visit Washington, we never have an opportunity to personally shop at your fabulous malls.”
