76: A Sexy Vegan Next Door

On our 76th show Scott is absent and Jilian and Derek have in-studio guest Chrissy Costigan, who lives near us in Westfield Massachusetts and was a runner up in Peta's Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door 2009 contest. Chrissy entered the contest and became a vegan because of what she learned while competing. We discuss whether Peta's sensationalist, sexual, and sometimes sexist tactics are justifiable. We also talk about the challenges of being a new vegan in a non-vegan world. Later in the show Derek debuts his new vegan inspired song Funky Animal. In the news Boca, Obama, overfishing, USDA ban on downer cattle, J.C. Penney shuns fur, and George Clooney tofu (CloFu). This is a public episode.
