Rainforest Beef, Factory Farms and Anthony Bourdain’s War on Vegetarians

Animals are intelligent, it’s just that the human species doesn’t understand their language.  Animals also sense things we humans do not because humans are taught since childhood to turn off those senses.  Many animals live in community with whole families, as do some humans, but the problem with humans is that many are leaving their elderly family members to live the rest of their lives away from the family in a community of other elderly people waiting to die.  Many humans no longer want their families to be close. 

Animals only hunt to eat, they are not destructive, nor do they kill for the fun of it.
The human species seems to be destructive and love killing for the fun of it, it’s a lot of waist.
In some cultures including my own, animals are considered sacred sentient beings.

So, I ask Anthony Bourdain, who is the silly one?  He alleges that humans evolved to eat meat, if that is true then why don’t we have the teeth or the proper intestinal tracks of meat eaters?

I agree with the writer about his coolness wearing thin.  I used to like watching his show, especially when they went to far off cultural ventures and vegetarian societies, but his constant badgering of vegetarianism has tired me off.  He has not heart if he can’t see the pain those animals are going through.

Rainforest Beef, Factory Farms and Anthony Bourdain’s War on Vegetarians

By NIKOLAS KOZLOFF

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has never made a secret of his disdain for vegetarians and vegans. In his best-selling book Kitchen Confidential the former New York cook remarked somewhat amusingly, “Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.” After his book became a hit, Bourdain moved into television and currently hosts No Reservations, a rather unusual and unorthodox travel show which examines far-flung cultures and exotic cuisines of the world.

Over the course of his career, Bourdain has cultivated a cool, bad-ass image and during his program he sports a black leather jacket. On one of his shows shot in San Francisco, he made a point of taking on political correctness by heading to an old steak house and feasting on prime rib. “To me,” he has written, “life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.”  [read full article here]
