Anthony Bourdain says, "Foie Gras Not Cruel"

Mar 07, 2009 17:27

my apologizes if this has already made it to the community. I figured you might all get a kick out of being told how wrong you are for assuming animals have feelings and want to be force fed.

this saddens me..
Im a huge fan of anthony bourdain but this changed my opinion about him some.

he's not a fan of you - he's a pretty well-known veg*n basher. says we're "hezbollah-like", that he won't make anything to cater to us, and that our our obsession with purity sucks the fun out of food, or something along those lines. which is totally accurate, because what's more fun than mad cow disease and throwing baby chicks into a woodchipper?

I like how they show animals having huge metal tubes shoved down their throats to force feed them and then say while it's going on that it's not cruel.

The chickens used in KFC etc, also the ones in supermarkets, are killed at 6 - 8 weeks.

And let us not forget, the normal lifespan of a healthy chicken is 6-8 YEARS!
And ducks, up to 20!

I hate Anthony Bourdain. My dad watches his show.

Anthony Bourdain is a walking, talking, scrotum. Enough said.

my friend sent me this quote: nightmare__line March 8 2009, 03:21:58 UTC

"Known for consuming exotic and daring ethnic dishes, Bourdain is famous for eating sheep testicles in Morocco, ant eggs in Puebla, Mexico, a raw seal eyeball as part of a traditional Inuit seal hunt, and a whole cobra-beating heart, blood, bile, and meat-in Vietnam. According to Bourdain, the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten is a Chicken McNugget,[11] though he has also declared that the unwashed warthog rectum he ate in Namibia[12] and the fermented shark he ate in Iceland[13] are among 'the worst meals of his life.'...
Adding to his untamed image, Bourdain is a former user of cocaine, heroin, and LSD."

Um. I don't agree that someone being "a former user of cocaine, heroin, and LSD" is necessarily a bad thing. I agree Bourdain is an idiot, but using that fact "against" him is really just perpetuating some kind of anti-drug bullshit, IMO. Lots of vegans out there used to use/still use cocaine, heroin, and LSD (i wouldn't even put LSD in the same category as cocaine and heroin either), and they're not bad people.
just sayin'

Re: my friend sent me this quote: nightmare__line March 8 2009, 09:09:22 UTC

the quote says "untamed image" not that he is a bad person for using drugs. he is a bad person because he is a bad person, no one is debating that.

whoever, to address something you said directly. i have yet to encounter a current (or former for that matter) heroin/cocaine user who is a good person. maybe its "anti-drug bullshit", maybe my location has a higher douche bag/druggie ratio, maybe i have had too much of my shit stolen for drug money, maybe one too many people i care about have been abused... who actually knows, but for whatever reason I steer clear of cocaine/heroin users.... could just be me though.

this is not intended to spark a debate on weather drug users are bad people or not.
just sayin' ... you know?
