Anthony Bourdain, who is famous for his self-professed dislike of vegetarians, had a moment last week on his trip to the Greek Islands. Having to take part in a sacrificial ceremony of the senseless slaughter of an adorable sheep for food even had Anthony wishing for a veggie burger. See, he had befriended the little lamb unbeknownst that it would soon be slaughtered. I had a hard time watching most of it, but he had an even more difficult time chewing, swallowing and digesting. I know I'm not alone in the theory, if you can't kill it you shouldn't be eating it. Anthony, maybe it's time to change your evil ways...
One of my new favorite shows, "Breaking Bad" on AMC, stars the father from Malcolm in the Middle, as a high-school chemistry teacher who discovers he has terminal lung cancer and as a source of a second income to save his family, unbeknownst to them, starts up a mobile Meth-lab in an RV with a former pupil and high-school drop-out. I know, what a premise! One of the first scenes, the family eats and has a discussion about vegetarian bacon for breakfast because it has no cholesteral. Of course it is met with the typical negative fanfare from the carnivoric cast, but hey, we are making waves with this whole vegetarian diet thing. One day at a time, but progress is progress.
