Um, if we decided to believe her story about the “homeless guy”, why wouldn’t she give him the drink too? The first thing I noticed after her denial is that she has the straw open in the drink–which means she was drinking it. If I’m buying a meal for someone else, I let them have the drink and put the straw in when they get it.

Thanks Oversneer!

Actually, it seems most of the blog world that is talking about this…pretty much think she is full of it.

This was the only blog that had anything nice to say about it

Hate to break it to you, Parrish, but Sophie is full of more than just tofu.

Look at ALL the photos (http://tinyurl.com/SophiePETA). No homeless guy. She went right to her car.

And lest you buy her line about only buying potato wedges, there’s a snap that clearly shows chicken-dipping sauces.

Photos don’t lie. Celebs often do.

I hate to be the bitter skeptic….but it just seem like a convenient story “Oh yeah….umm….i TOTALLY was in KFC buying homeless people food….yeah…” Like, who could ridicule me for THAT?!

I agree that there were 100 other options esp since she was involved in a campaign AGAINST KFC. I really HOPE she was at least trying to help someone, but part of me is a bit skeptical.

This falls under the Good Samaritan clause for me. She was focused on the issue directly in front of her: feed a hungry man. Not everyone is prescient enough to explains their views to people in a situation like that.

I say kudos to her for helping out. And now she knows that next time she should hop next door to someplace less heinous, and the rest of us have the benefit of learning from her mistake.

While I admire someone who would buy a meal for someone in need instead of give him money, I wouldn’t buy KFC or McDeathburger for someone.

I actually had a simiilar situation a few years ago where I encountered a homeless woman who said she needed money so she could get a hot dog. I said I couldn’t do that because I’m vegetarian (I didn’t want to explain “vegan” to her), so she asked if I could get her a bag of chips. So I got her a bag of potato chips and a bottle of water. Part of me thinks I should have also gottne her a piece of fruit or something, but oh, well.

They are potato wedges. Maybe not the best place to buy them from, but still vegetarian!

Potato wedge or chicken wedges? What are wedges?

Anyway, a better option to feed the homeless is Food Not Bombs: http://www.foodnotbombs.net/
