I mean really? I mean REALLY? Ya’ll just know PETA’s gonna spit when they see this!
Jessica Simpson was photographed Friday at the LAX airport proudly sporting a “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt. GROSS!!! Now I’m all for having your own opinions, but if you’re a celebrity you know your junk is gonna be photographed, and what better way to turn an entire community against you then to wear a shirt like that.
So listen up all you kick-ass vegetarian celebrities who read this blog — it’s time for action. Stop over to cafepress.com or herbivoreclothing.com and get yourself some deliciously outspoken vegan garb to be photographed in. The first celeb we see sporting a pro-vegetarian shirt will get a special Ecorazzi salute and I will personally write an article detailing your essential badassness! It’s time to fight fire with fire!
And Jessica let’s face it — the career ain’t doing so well. Do you REALLY think you can afford to jeopardize your fan base even just a little?

[UPDATE] In terms of t-shirts, Heather Graham’s beau knows where it’s at!

That girl has zero brain activity and wouldn’t hunt her own food in a zillion years. You really think she would research how meat is processed?
Ash- It wasn’t so much that I thought she was smart enough to research factory farming, but I did think she would understand the possible backlash her shirt might have from a public relations point of view.
In the U.S alone there are 7.3 million people who call themselves vegetarian. 7.3 million may not sound like a lot, but consider that also in the U.S there are roughly only 3.9 million Jews, 1.5 million Islamics, 1.5 million Buddhists, 1.4 million Agnostics, 77,000 Scientologists, and 56,000 Taoists. That means that there are more vegetarians in the United States then members of all those religions combined. Essentially, Jessica is doing the same damage (number-wise) as if her shirt said “Real Girls Believe In Jesus.”
I just thought she was smart enough to realize that wearing a shirt like that wasn’t going to attract any new friends. But you’re right — I guess I gave her a little too much credit.
look here yall who gives a shit if she wore a shirt saying ” Real Girls Eat Meat”
yall folks take things way to far. How immature.
Well, I say that isn’t true. But real women do not eat meat.
Not sure if Harley is serious or being facetious and making fun of uneducated red necks who would say something like that. I think it’s the latter
Anyhoo, Ms Simpson does not appear to have much “real” about her including what holds up the nasty t shirt she wears. I feel sorry for her and think she needs to take her and her buck teeth somewhere far far away from here.
Hilariously bad. Who the hell wakes up a decides to wear that shirt?
This is nothing more than a jab at Carrie Underwood, who is a vegetarian. She is so jealous of Carrie and insecure in her relationship with Romo, that she feels she has to do this to get attention.
Yes, that’s a silly t-shirt alright, and there’s not exactly a lot of insight or depth expressed by someone wearing it. I mean, what is she, in grade school?
But the shirt does raise some interesting questions of its own. Just who are these “real girls” who presumably became “real” by eating meat? And why are girls who don’t eat meat “not real”? Just whose reality is it, anyway?
I think these are important questions, and we should encourage Jessica Simpson to address them at length before we make any snap judgments about her thought or intent.
Perhaps by “real” she means – in the existential sense – being an actor in the world. Under that definition what makes a person real is to become influential or affect change in some way. Dominating other beings – consuming their flesh without a second thought – could be considered a righteous act of self-expression, a way of taking the existential reins, if you will, of affecting others, of making a mark on the world.
Or perhaps by “real” she means, having a material existence. Thus, the more space you take up, and the more mass you have, the more “real” you are. Eating meat and other fatty animal products is one way that girls can get more “real” by bulking up their material bodies.
All my speculation only confuses the issue. Clearly, we need to hear from Jessica to get to the bottom of this scintillating mystery.
Oh please. People get a life. Why must everybody be politically correct. Last I checked, it’s still a free country. And PETA & those bat-crazt environmentalist is one of the problems that’s causing the government to not drill our own oil. Anyone up for a $5.00 per gallon gas? Yeah, be politically correct alright.
I feel more like a “real girl” because I gave birth without an epidural! Hoo-Ahhh!
Go Veg!
Hi kara,
Let me guess you drive an SUV. Gas has cost that much in many countries in Europe for ages… And they drive smaller cars (on a whole) and don’t bitch about gas prices. The planet is too dirty anyway. Get a bike get rid of the gas guzzler. Not eating meat not only helps people get healthier and lose weight but perhaps we wouldn’t be having these salmonella problems with the tomatoes if we didn’t have run off from animal farming causing the problem to begin with.
That is very harsh of her to wear a shirt like that. Doesn’t she know that some people CAN’T eat meat for health reasons? There are a large number of people in that boat, and I think that every one of them should write to her publisit and tell him/her to sign Jessica for some sensitivity lessons. I didn’t know one could be so inappropriate.
As for being a vegetarian, eating meat should be a body choice. I was a vegetarian. I did it properly. Talked to my doctor and nutritionists about it.
About 6 months later, I was sick and I didn’t understand why. I felt so horrible. I told my nutritionist and we reviewed what I was eating. After taking it all in, she said, “you know, there are a large number of people in the world who simply must eat some animal protein at least once a day. I know you have moral objections, but you are going to have many more health issues down the road if you keep this up. I’m sorry.” So I started to add animal protien in little by little. I have found that I must eat 2 6oz servings of animal protien a day. And not just eggs and dairy either. The eggs and dairy two times a day wouldn’t cut it for some reason. One of them has to be meat :’-(
So that’s my take on it.
If your body supports it, the go for it! Everyone eats WAY too much meat. Jessica needs a wake up call!
We Evolved \ were Created as meat eaters it is true. Meat is one of many possible sources of Protein. We have all see Celebs go too far or not far enough in their views. better an honest statement that may offend a few than a statement meant to garner favor with the masses and no commitment behind it.
i’m all for not wearing your beliefs–of any kind–on your shirt, or your bumper, or wherever else. why is it so necessary for people to force their opinions into the limelight? EVERYONE has opinions. no single person’s is more validated than the next. when we get caught up debating who is right or drag other (ridiculously unrelated) issues into it, we are just fueling the quagmire. mutual acceptance is the path to peace.
…but for the record, i’m a girl, i eat meat (sometimes), and i still think that shirt is whack.
She’s just trying to irritate Carrie Underwood who is a vegetarian. Jessica has the mentality of 5TH grader. She is a jealous of Carrie who is prettier, and sings incredible. Unlike Jessica who looks and sounds like she is convulsing when she opens her mouth. Poor Jessica, I didn’t know it was possible, but she just made herself look even more like a fool. It is only a matter of time before Romo dumps her sorry arse (if he hasn’t already) and begs Carrie to take him back.
I’m a vegetarian and I’m not offended. I really couldn’t care less what that skank eats or wears across her fake boobs!
what a bunch of ignorant outrage! fools unite!
obviously its a tshirt about her blowjob ability you idiots
Give me a break.Are you really moronic enough to believe that Jessica Simpson’s fanbase gives a rat’s ass if she eats meat?
The lack of protein from not eating meat is really fucking you up.
There’s only one kinda meat real girls should eat – your man’s! Animal flesh susks
I think she was just trying to be sexually funny and it has nothing to do with being a carnivore LOL. I am a vegetarian and say to each his own. We can educate, but we can’t force our views down others throats or we will be just like others that do it to vegetarians. Chill and go eat a tomato!
Hmmmm… Now, when I saw this I instantly thought ‘eating meat’ was a brazen, slightly purile euphamism for oral sex. I think she’s trying to be shocking sure, but not by insulting the quorn quaffers !
get over yourselves, get a life, relax. she wore a t-shirt, it doesn’t mean she was making a political statement. you people are waaaaay too sensitive.
whether you eat meat or not those “rel women…(fill in the blank)” shirts are dumb!
What are the odds that she is not referring to her dietary habits…
Lots of real women eat meat. I know it’s a mentally challenging idea for some of you, but not everyone follows your religion.
Maybe if you got a little more protein in your diet you’d have the cognitive ability to process that. Ask an omnivore for help if it’s confusing you.
Who cares…
I swear the biggest terrorists or thought Nazi’s are all the vegetarians. Did any of you ever stop to consider that perhaps the T-Shirt is a joke? Perhaps it has pseudo sexual innuendo and isn’t making some in depth political statement?
Also, for all of you quoting all your research… Go to the nearest mirror and open your mouth… Examine your teeth for a moment. Take a quick gander. That’s all the research you should need to conduct. You aren’t an evolved vegetarian and neither is any other human so quit with your lectures and learn to live with the real world.
Grow up. Also, for all of you quoting all your research… Go to the nearest mirror and open your mouth.. Examine your teeth for a moment. Take a quick gander. That’s all the research you should need to conduct. You aren’t an evolved vegitarian and neither is any other human so quit with your lectures and learn to live with the real world.
bummer got posted one and a half times.. had a weird net error.. Must have been my insta karma for promoting truth
Hi everybody! Thanks for all your scandalicious comments. For those who are getting a little testy because you think “vegetarians are crazy”, reread my article. I don’t hate women who eat meat (my whole family consists of meat-eaters)! I only said that I thought it was strange she would wear that t-shirt when there are 7.3 million vegetarians in the U.S alone. How did she expect us to react? It just seems silly to isolate yourself from an entire community when your career is already pretty trashed.
Scandalicious?
That word is just as lame as the t-shirt you posted about.
I am going with the “meat” referring to what she ingests of Tony Romo’s. She is not intelligent enough to make a bolder statement than that.
Sagan said “We Evolved \ were Created as meat eaters it is true.”
This explains why humans have long, sharp claws and fangs for catching fish and animals, and tearing their flesh, which tastes so very yummy raw, the way God intended us to eat meat. It explains why we have the short digestive systems of other carnivores like wolves and bobcats, with whom we compete for prey.
Oh wait, we have none of those qualities. We couldn’t event catch a sick lamb if we needed to.
We were designed to eat fruits, vegetables, bugs and nuts. Agriculture came about because we are inventive. Animal husbandry came about because we are gluttonous.
Oh, Jessica. You’re not going to sell any more albums or crappy Chinese-made merchandise by alienating millions of people and making yourself looking desperate and jealous of your boyfriend’s ex. Slag. (Don’t you just love British slang?)
I mean,
JESSICA HAS A FAN BASE?
I think she is referring to eating a “tube steak” as in oral sex.
I wish that bimbo gets run over by a truck full of cattle headed for the slaughterhouse wearing that disguesting shirt.
VEGAN POWER!!
How ignorant she is…we must care about our planet. Eating meat causes more greenhouse gases & polution than driving a gas guzzler car or anything else. Being Vegan is what compassionate concerned for the planet people are doing for REAL!
Yes, if you’re a vegetarian, you do not have a vagina. It just makes sense.
This is exactly why everyone else looks down on vegans/vegitarians. Not eating meat isnt healthy for everyone; there are plenty of healthy meat eaters and unhealthy vegans. Her whole POINT of wearing that t shirt was to get people talking and stir up trouble so you kind of just bought into her plan. Maybe if you werent so hungry your brain would function properly.
With our environment in the situation it is in, I find it irresponsible for her to wear a shirt like that. I doubt it’s meant to mean anything sexual, but who knows? And, the point is that she, unfortunately, is a role model for many young girls, whether we like it or not.
I’m trying to do many things to help our environment every day, including eating a vegan diet. When someone with her star power does something like that, I’m disappointed.
Here I am sporting my Vegan love on a shirt

I still am amazed that so many “veg” haters and fur lovers read a GREEN blog! It’s amazing…
Anyway, this girl is a dummy…i could care less.
Here is a FANTASTIC VEGAN take on that type of shirt
I <3 it and agree it’s the only meat any one should eat 
http://merchnow.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=UNT&Product_Code=UNT0VEGNBL-TS
For those who don’t want to clicky click…it says
“Hungry for meat? Go eat a d**k. Go Vegan”
hehehehe
Get a life people. It’s a freaking shirt… just a bad sexual innuendo. It makes her a whore, not someone that should be stoned for eating a dead cow or chicken every now and then. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson but you don’t see me crapping my pants over this. You vegan weirdo, animal worshiping PETA freaks need to eat a steak and calm the hell down.
Seriously people it’s a t-shirt and just like you wore your choice of shirt today she wore hers whenever this was taken. Honestly I don’t think this woman gives a rat’s behind about Carrie Underwood. Honestly she’s probably talking about all the little stupid girls who eat a sprinkle of lettuce and five grapes and claim they’re full
YOu PETA freaks need to get a life. News flash … people have k-9’s, just like dogs and other meat eaters. Human were made to eat meat. I personally like mine rare and bloody. YUM!!!!
I know the pain of the vegetarian. I used to be offended by the Oakland Raiders T-Shirt “real men wear black”. I like blue.
Okay, to all you people that say we were MADE to eat meat, uh, no we weren’t. If anything, we adapted to it.
Jeremy, yes we do have “k-9’s” like dogs do, but have you ever compared them? Ours are ridiculously dull, and the canines of a dog are sharp and made for tearing flesh.
We get sick if we eat raw meat, we have soft skin, our nails are dull, we’re really slow, and there’s tons of other examples.
If you decide to ever try and hunt down and animal (without the use of anything man-made), I’d love to know how successful you are.
Now we know why her ass is so much fatter than Carrie Underwoods…
I think this is ABSURD! C’mon PETA, it’s funny! Geez…
FYI, here’s the shirt:
Real Girls Eat Meat.
I think all you vegetarians are jealous because Ms Simpson can fill out that shirt better than you can.
For those who object to the idea of real girls eating meat, Real Girls Eat Clam. Even some real men.
