Animal rights organization PETA is receiving backlash for a vegan campaign that they say is the answer to recent findings that Plan B may be ineffective for women who weigh more than 176 pounds. The 'Plan V' program encourages women "to lose weight (and regain access to Plan B as a family-planning tool) by choosing healthy vegan meals," according to PETA's press release.
