PETA Gives Honey Boo Boo 'Not a Nugget' Power

Honey Boo Boo has found something
else that makes her holla: her new companion chicken. Alana Thompson’s mother
says that HBB and her BFF (best fowl friend)
are practically inseparable.

Why,
then, would the pint-sized reality star name her chicken Nugget? PETA wrote to
Honey Boo Boo asking her to change Nugget’s name to “Not a Nugget,” after
our youth outreach mascot, to honor her companion as a friend, not food.

“As I’m
sure you are learning from your chicken, chickens are smart, interesting
animals with personalities of their own,” our letter reads. “Changing
Nugget’s name to ‘Not a Nugget’ will let your fans know that they should be
nice to chickens by not eating them.”

But
even if Honey Boo Boo “redneckognizes” that chickens are better as
family members than value meals, that doesn’t mean that she would have to give
up her “chicken-nugget power.” PETA is also sending the pageant queen
our “I Am Not a Nugget”
T-shirt and Gardein’s faux-chicken tenders. Since meat-free nuggets
have all the protein with none of the cholesterol, they’ll give her more energy
than Go Go Juice. And not eating chickens might earn her a whole new flock of
fans.

If
a dolla will make Honey Boo Boo holla, maybe a Gardein nugget will
make her wanna hug it? (Note to June: Gardein also puts out good coupons.)
