I’m starting to hate Vegetarians
I was reading a food related email thread in gmail and it suggested this link. I was intrigued so I checked it out. It just got me mad. And so I blog.
How totally lame… look at the poor cute piggy… gimme a break. That tactic doesn’t open my wallet for poor 3rd world kids… and it isn’t going to close my wallet at the butcher section.
I was a vegetarian for close to 14 years… almost 14 years of no meat. A good chunk of that with no eggs or cheese. You know all I have to say about that? (listen up because I don’t say this lightly) I WAS WRONG.
My culinary world is simply exploding these days… I’m discovering a lot that I’ve been missing in the wide world of food. I think Anthony Bourdain sums it up nicely:
“If it’s slower than me, dumber than me, and tastes reasonably good… pass the salt!”
In response to Peta, I offer you this link: The Bacon Show
Go forth and enjoy that smokey, salty, piggy goodness.
Now, don’t get me wrong.. I have nothing against folks that abstain from meat (or just pigs) for religious or cultural reasons. Personally, I don’t understand the idea of putting meat in Indian food. There are plenty of examples of simply excellent indigenous vegetarian cuisines.It’s the peta style vegetarians that I have issues with.
Hmm.. I’m hungry now… a sandwich would be good… I think I have some ham in the fridge. Yum!
