The idea for Clooney tofu, or CloFu, came to PETA when they somehow got their hands on a gym towel soaked with the actor’s sweat, and that thanks to some bizarre technology, they could harvest the perspiration into a some type of flavoring. PETA contacted the star and informed him of theor research. “Of course your fans would swoon at the idea of eating CloFu,” their letter explained. “But what interests us most is that we would attract many people who don’t try tofu because they worry that it would be bland or that they wouldn’t know how to cook it.”
As someone who was a vegetarian for six years and still includes plenty of tofu and soy-based products in their diet, I’m completely horrified. Only Nasoya Extra Firm non-sweat flavored tofu for me, thanks. Clooney himself seems to agree. “As a mammal, I am offended,” he said.
Are you grossed out by PETA’s latest publicity stunt, or are you a Clooney fan salivating at the thought of sinking your teeth into a juicy CloFu steak? If you are willing to try such a thing, are there any other celebs you’d rather have flavor up your food? [E!]
