In case you missed it, PETA kicked off it’s annual anti-turkey-day festivities by introducing a new chapter in the Cooking Mama Franchise – Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals! The vaguely disgusting (and surprisingly entertaining) parody game rendered a quick response from Mama’s home kitchen:
Mama wants people to know that World Kitchen includes 51 recipes from around the world, ranging from vegetarian fare like miso soup and rice cakes to international delicacies like ginger pork and octopus dumplings.
“I would never put rat in my Ratatouille,” said a feisty Mama while beating some eggs. “Like any accomplished cook, I create my recipes to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences. My only goal is to ensure you leave the table well fed.”
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen features new styles of gameplay, minigames, and ultra-cute 3D graphics. Hit the jump for screenshots and the full press release.
EDISON, N.J., November 19, 2008 – Food lover and culinary cutie Cooking Mama is a virtual chef who believes that good home cooked food, properly prepared from the best ingredients, can bring people together around the table and make the world a happier place. That’s why Mama is taking a stand with oven mitts raised high against the latest PETA objection targeting her freshly released videogame, Cooking Mama World Kitchen, that shipped this week for Wiiâ„¢ from Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL). Mama wants people to know that World Kitchen includes 51 recipes from around the world, ranging from vegetarian fare like miso soup and rice cakes to international delicacies like ginger pork and octopus dumplings.
“I would never put rat in my Ratatouille,” said a feisty Mama while beating some eggs. “Like any accomplished cook, I create my recipes to appeal to a broad range of tastes and preferences. My only goal is to ensure you leave the table well fed.”
Cooking Mama World Kitchen includes more than 25 vegetarian-friendly recipes including delicious breakfast, dinner, dessert and snack options. And, while Mama is not a vegetarian, she fully supports the humane treatment of animals, particularly for her canine protégé Max who makes his doggie debut in World Kitchen.

So when it comes down to it.. . PETA is just a bunch of a$$-Holes with nothing better to do with their lives!!
Well thank PETA for free advertising. (BTW My last name's inital is S too. Reading your post was freaky.
It would've been even funnier If I was a Jeff S. too. But PETA really needs to stop.
PETA is laaaaame!….as i take a bite out of a sausage link
…and back on the subject of the game… I honestly prefer the sprites. It seems like they didn't pull off Mama in 3D properly.
PETA is lame. they spend so much time trying to force their ideals on other people that honestly don't care. c'mon cooking momma is their next target. f**king stupid. i like animals and i like to eat them too shame on me for being carnivorous and conducting myself in a manner that caused mankind to evolve in the first place. we should throw red paint on them when they come out of their hippie communes and thrift shops for the killing of living plants and consuming them for sustenance. we shall charge them with plantslaughter stupid hypocrites. something must die for something else to live shall we mock the lion for killing inhumanely? i saw a nat geo episode where 10 lions are on the back of an elephant chasing it for hours. it was a slow horrible death for the elephant, but renewed life for the pride. much better than a quick bolt to the head we should all hunt our cow in this fashion. law of nature #1: eat or be eaten. sorry for the pointless rant i just can't beleive anyone would target cooking momma as if it was an evil entity of animal cruelty.
You're speech was amazing. I cried (not really but it was cool) of how eerily similar that is to my reasonings.
