EGGS and Bacon Bay by any other name would smell as sweet.Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has called on the Huon Valley Council to change the name of Eggs and Bacon Bay to a more vegan alternative.The group has proposed “Apple and Cherry Bay” as a replacement, to promote the region’s local industry.PETA Australia associate director of campaigns Ashley Fruno said the group hoped the change would highlight to Huon Valley residents the need to avoid animal-derived foods.“Considering the high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat in both eggs and bacon, the area may as well be called ‘Heart Attack Bay’,” she said.“The Huon Valley is famous for its delectable apples and cherries, so we are asking the council ... ‘Where’s the fruit?’, in the hope that it will apply to change the name to ‘Apple and Cherry Bay’.”Huon Valley residents stand to receive vegan apple pies if the name change is adopted.In a letter to Huon Valley Mayor Peter Coad, Ms Fruno said Tasmania has the highest rate of lap-band surgery in Australia, and 93 per cent of people did not eat enough fruit and vegetables.“Reminding residents to stay away from cholesterol- and fat-laden bacon and eggs and instead to eat the fresh plant produce of the Huon Valley might be just what the doctor ordered,” she wrote.The Huon Valley Council has been contacted for comment.

Its peta. 

You gotta be shitting me. That's going WAY too far.

I'm a vegetarian myself (and former vegan), and I couldn't give a shit what it's called.

I also don't give a shit how much meat people eat in front of me. That's their business. I can't stand judgemental "in your face" vegetarians/vegans.

As one myself, they can literally die in a hole. And they most definitely exist.

You're vegetarian too? :laugh::cool:

Almost on par with the ridiculous push to rename Blacktown because SJWs assumed anything with black in the title must be racist.

Can't be sure but smells like a bit of a wind up.

There's nothing on PETA's website and this line from the article is suspicious....

Ms Fryer said PETA wanted to encourage people to avoid animal-derived products and hoped the council would respond.

Eggs and bacon.  Ms Fryer?

Yeak for the past 8 or so years. But wanks like this do my head in. And there is a reason you are a Ms. Fryer.

Good stuff. Yeah I've been vego for almost 7 years now.

Got plenty of crazy recipes if you ever need! :P

nice little promo for the town.  the mayor is on board.

I am sure the Council gave it due consideration before using the letter as a napkin whilst eating their roast!!

Yep, We're talking about the group that criticised Obama for swatting a fly.
