PARIS (AFP) – Brigitte Bardot, one-time French screen goddess turned animal rights activist, wants the European Union to institute a "Vegetarian Day" as part of the battle against global warming.
In a letter this week to European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barrosoa, Bardot said "a few weeks before the Copenhagen climate summit, I would like to draw your attention to the need to question cattle-farming, whose effects on the environment are of concern."
Quoting studies by the World Bank and the UN food agency FAO, Bardot said in the letter which was released Friday that cattle-raising not only caused high carbon emissions but also polluted soils and the water table.
"If 'developped' nations were to reduce their meat consumption, there would be less famine, which kills almost six million children each year," Bardot wrote.

Boy, age has taken its toll...
She’s a bitter fascist.
Global Warming is now the official religion of the Europeans. It comes complete with priests lie Al Gore, and Bridget, Tything in the form of carbon taxes, and now religious edicts like vegitarian Fridays.
Everyone eat beans that day ROFL
It frequently does.
Taisez-vous, Brigitte.
I’ll stick to running the grill at the football game tonight...:o)
Unless it was........the vegetables?
yikes. Look what it has done for her. Not a compelling case, in my view.
Vegetarian? No, don’t think so, but you’re safe you old cow.
I prefer beef to be young and tender, not ancient and stringy.
Are you talking about the late Soviet cosmonaut?
If we don't eat beef, we won't need cattle.
Without cattle, there won't be cow dung.
How will Amsterdam heat their homes?
Frozen vegetarians. Swell, just swell.
She used to be gorgeous. sigh. At least Sophia Loren still has it.
Before and after. The dreaded result of eating too many vegetables.
Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slur...http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSL1584799120080415
Bardot has long been kind of a nut — but as least she has not succumbed to the surgeon’s knife a gazillion times like so many others. She could fix the hair a bit and be more attractive IMHO.
Being a stubborn jerk, I stuck to being a vegetarian for eight years as I got fatter and fatter and sicker and sicker. Finally I realized that it was my diet killing me and went back to normal eating again.
Another thing that is negative about vegetarianism is the self-righteous, fascist superiority of vegetarians and (shudder) vegans. To them, we “flesh eaters” are morally inferior and deserve any evil thing that happens to us.
Veggie killers are just as nuts as any other leftie with their broad brush, one-size-fits-all philosophies.
God bless Dr. Atkins.
Those aren’t brains in her blouse.
Being a vegetarian sure turned a “cutie” in an “uglie”.
Pass me the steak please!

Sorry the after picture caused me to type with my eyes closed.

“I will overlook her veggie crusade. She has been on trial for her criticism of Muslims in France. She’s got guts.”
Yeh, no kidding - let them have the veggie day - if I was a Euro - that’s the day I go out for steak...
“We like vegetarian’s they make us laugh”
Famous Dave -
Tasty, tasty meat. Mmmmmmm...mmmmmmmm...mmmmmm.
I hate you.
Thanks for admitting it. Most vegans and vegetarians are self-righteous prigs.
Since I am as un-PC as they come, they no longer even bother to say anything to me.
I eat from the 3 food groups
meat
cheese
Pepsi
I eat very little vegitibles.
In I Timothy 4:3 The Bible states that in latter times not eating meat shall be pushed upon people. Now just how did the writter know this unless he was inspired by God. Who would have thought it?
1Ti 4:1 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
She is 75. How many look better at her age?
I think there are better pictures of her now out there.
Bardot has previously said France is being invaded by sheep-slaughtering Muslims and published a book attacking gays, immigrants and the unemployed, in which she also lamented the "Islamisation of France".
