Virginian-Pilot columnist B.J. Atkinson, who has written at least one syndicated article on PETA’s behalf (“Former cattle rancher says Dump Meat,” Knight Ridder, 9/8/98), does her best to promote the Farm Animal Reform Movement’s “Great American Meatout,” a.k.a. Meatout 2000. This nanny posing as a journalist isn’t content to plug vegetarianism at the expense of the meat eating; she goes after milk, too. (“Annual ‘Meatout’ can be springboard for vegetarian diet,” The Virginian-Pilot, 3/15/00.)
