Lady Gaga has expressed her surprise that people have made such a fuss over her recent meat dress.

The controversial singer first outraged animal rights campaigners PETA, when she posed in a meat bikini on the front of a Japanese magazine, then caused more upset when she accepted her reward for 'Video of the Year' at the MTV VMAs dressed in an outfit made entirely out of meat.

However, at her recent Philadelphia concert, Gaga spoke out and defended herself by asking the audience, "What's everyone's big problem with my meat dress? Haven't they seen me wear leather? Next time, I'll wear a tofu dress and the soy milk police will come after me."
