food fails again

Almost weekend!

Nothing could ruin my day, except this. About eating "Almost Meatless."
Really? This is all you can come up with, foodies of America? Puh-leeease. We are just about the only culture with three square meat-centric meals a day, and to talk about this new "trend" is to ignore the fact that America's carnivorous tendencies are the real trend. A century or so worth of unsustainability and heart disease.

In reality, centuries (millenia!) of people have subsisted on mostly-meatless diets. Another "duh" moment for all of you. I'm still waiting for Nobel prize on how eating less meat can save the world, you know, for that big paper I wrote in high school.

Yeah, I scooped the Times six years ago.

Food articles always cycle back to this, though, and constantly report this ancient and natural way of life as yet another socially-conscious trend, you know, back in here and here and here... Maybe it's eating all that meat that's effecting everybody's memories.

Bah! Ok, I'm done being shrilly liberal.


Happy weekend all!
