#3 Ratatouille may be good, but it will never be beef tenderloin good.
Some personal observations:
I see a lot of vegetarian dishes trying to disguise themselves as meat, such as tofu 'burgers'. I don't see many meat dishes disguising themselves as vegetarian, such as pulled pork 'pasta'.
Vegetarian evangelicals don't seem to be having much fun; its always 'beans really do have enough protein to live on', 'kale tastes good really'. Carnivore evangelicals have the BBQ song from yesterday. I don't think a single band member was concerned that a stomach settler sponsored the video.
In the land where meat is a luxury, the person who brought the bags of beef jerky is lord.
There are good reasons to have a low meat, even no meat diet. Absolutely there are people who use that lifestyle as leverage in social situations, known them, depression would be a mild way to put it. Maybe not sociopaths. Maybe. I've seen vegetarians invited to the omnivore's table, and demand vegetarian dishes. I've seen omnivore invited to the vegetarian's table, and the vegetarian spent the meal trying to convince the others that the pressed and textured tofu was really chicken. It was some real 2+2=5 crap. |
