At first I wasn’t going to blog anything about Oklahoma City going on a diet, but after reading this press release and letter from PETA I had to laugh out loud. PETA would be very upset with me if they knew what an avid hunter I was and how I just love to BBQ all sorts of meats. In the letter Bruce Friedrich urges mayor Cornett to go Vegan to achieve the city’s goal of shedding 1 million pounds. Not eating meat to most Oklahomans is laughable especially to Oklahoma Joe a fellow pit master. Tell me what you think in the comments section. Also if you agree or disagree with Bruce give him a call and let him know what you think.

Oklahoma City – After learning that Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett is encouraging residents to lose weight by setting up a Web site where people can sign up to track their weight loss, PETA has sent the mayor a letter with some dieting advice: Go vegetarian.
“Overwhelming scientific evidence shows that vegetarians are far less likely to be overweight than meat-eaters and far more likely to be in better overall health,” writes PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich, an Oklahoma native, in his letter to Cornett. “The American Dietetic Association–the nation’s largest group of nutrition professionals–reviewed hundreds of studies and concluded that vegetarians have lower rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer than people who eat meat.”
To help the mayor achieve his goal of encouraging Oklahoma City residents shed a total of 1 million pounds, PETA is offering to send its sexy Lettuce Ladies to cohost a “Ditch the Meat, Lose the Fat” Oklahoma-style cookout–complete with meatless Boca Chik’n Patties, Gardenburger Riblets, and all the fixins–for everyone who signs up for the mayor’s “This City Is Going on a Diet” program.
And some said they are upset that the band got just an alley.But to lead singer Wayne Coyne, it’s still an honor.”I’d say come to Oklahoma City and walk down Flaming Lips Alley, even though it has Dumpsters and some trucks unloading beer in the back,” Coyne said.

Mayor Mick Cornett endorsed “The Declaration of North American Integration”
By Paul Joseph Watson
Ridiculing claims by the establishment media that the North American Union plan is a “conspiracy theory,” an activist has brought to light a document signed by the Mayor of Oklahoma City, which was also approved by 90 other officials, that endorses an economic and political integration of the U.S. with Canada and Mexico.
Jerome Corsi has the goods,
The endorsement by a major city mayor of a document described as “The Declaration of North American Integration” represents a long-term effort by local governments to bypass state and federal governments and work directly with Mexico and Canada to create agreements that integrate the continent below the radar screen, charges an activist.
Adam Rott, founder of watchdog blog Oklahoma Corridor Watch, brought to light the document signed by Mayor Mick Cornett. Read more…

From Oklahoma Corridor Watch:
“If we can have but three nations and one economy,” said Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornettt “I think it would be much easier for us to solve a lot of the social problems with the end migration.”
Mayor Cornett went on to say in the video that since Oklahoma City is situated on along I-35, which is “really apart of that NAFTA Corridor,” the potential for economic development on a global scale is a real possibility. I-35 received the NAFTA Superhighway designation by the Oklahoma Legislature in 1995, and there are currently plans by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to expand I-35 into a 10-lane, multi-modal corridor in the Oklahoma City area.
