Singer/actress Jessica Simpson was recently caught out and about by the paparazzi wearing a controversial T-shirt. By using the message on her shirt, is Simpson sending a message of her own?

The T boldly proclaims “Real Girls Eat Meat,” a little non-vegetarian humor to combat the popularity of Ts with messages like “Meat is Murder,” no doubt. But perhaps this bit of humor goes much deeper than an affection for char-broiled burgers.

Simpson just so happens to be currently dating Tony Romo, who is the ex-boyfriend of famous vegetarian Carrie Underwood. The American Idol winner has been very vocal about her nutritional leanings, named “sexiest vegetarian” by PETA twice. When viewed from the perspective of relationship history, Simpson’s shirt suddenly takes on a whole new connotation…doesn’t it?

The press seems to think so. Today, Jessica’s shirt is appearing on entertainment sites all across the Internet. One unnamed source is reported as saying “Jess is sick of hearing about how Tony still has feelings for Carrie. She’s obviously trying to poke fun at her rival and let her know who really has Tony’s heart.”
