George Clooney declined to sweat for PETA when he rebuffed an offer by the group to use his perspiration to spice up tofu, or, more accurately, “CloFu.”
After receiving a towel claiming to have some of George Clooney’s sweat on it, PETA President and founder, Ingrid Newkirk fired off a letter to the actor asking for permission to use his sweat to make Clooney flavored tofu. The letter stated, “The technology actually exists to take your perspiration and make it into George Clooney–flavored tofu (CloFu).”
Newkirk went on to outline how the ingenious plan would attract people to the meat substitute who would ordinarily “worry that it would be bland or that they wouldn’t know how to cook it.” On a PETA blog, CloFu was described as making “your taste buds and your heart melt.”
Unfortunately for PETA, the desired revolution in dietary habits it wants to usher in will have to wait. A representative of Mr. Clooney indicated that, “As a mammal, I’m offended.”
