Che Guevara’s Granddaughter Goes Commando for PETA

The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara is undressing for a new PETA campaign with the slogan “Start a Vegetarian Revolution.” With the permission of her family and a revolutionary spirit “in her blood,” 24-year-old Lydia Guevara posed nude, wearing only a beret and carrot-filled bandoleer that will hopefully inspire more vegetarians than her grandfather’s overexposed t-shirts inspire revolutionaries.
Is this a political tactic Ernesto would have employed had he the exposure and sexual appeal as Lydia? Doubtful. The commercialism of vegetarianism has gained so much popularity it is similiar to the "Go Green" movement, losing sentiment in favor of blatancy. Ah, the media takes everything I love and turns it into a friggin' movie.

Great post, good for her to promote something like that.
Have you seen the new photos which have emerged of Che in colour.
