Veggie Jihad
by Scoop Shachtman, 29 April 2008
You have to love CIF for its comedy moments. In a discussion about GM food, we discover that 911 occurred because rich Westerners eat Big Macs.
A less risky solution is simply for people to eat less meat. This would improve public health as well as making sure there is enough food to go around. But it won’t happen, because rich westerners will ignore anyone who wants to stop them eating a Big Mac. And we wonder why people will fly planes into buildings.
That’s in the first ten comments, I rarely read beyond the first three. Truly, the web has become a veritable goldmine of intelligent, knowledgeable, and balanced discussion.

For my part, I’m heartily sick of being lumped in some monolithic ‘rich westerners who do this that or the other things which we must be punished for’ stereotype by Penelopes and Tristrams.

Does that person actually think that rich people eat at McDonald’s?

I have nothing but sheer and utter contempt for the Daily Kos.
And for people who think vegetarianism will stop theocratic mediaevalists commiting mediaeval barbarisms.
I suspect there is some cross-over between the two.

Hakmao will hate me for this, but still …
When I bought my first doner kebab,
When I enjoyed my first lamb rogan josh,
When a delightful friend of mine cooked me a delicious chop pork chow mein,
I began to ask myself …
‘Why do white Westerners persist in destroying the planet by eating meat’?

Speaking as a white eastern-westerner of lowish economic station but of aristocratic intellectual and spiritual disposition, I will flyte, to within an inch of his or her life, any cud chewer who stops me eating a Big Mac.
