Veggies/ vegans- does this clip annoy you? (Giles Coren on veganism)?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RzN8kubyKY&t=120
The relevant section of the clip lasts about 6 minutes, if you can stand it that long I'm vegan myself, and I'm furious! Food writer Giles Coren on the BBC radio 4 show "I've never seen star wars" broadcast last week, tries veganism for a week and then slags it off. He seems to go for the blandest foods possible- vegan cliches. It's not even made clear what he's eating in most of that section, it's just him moaning on in a negative way. You could find poor meals from any food group- I could announce that I was going to become a carnivore for a week, and then just eat spam on toast! He is rude about everything, repeats dull old jokes 'vegans are so weak they blow away' ('oh Oscar, my aching sides!') and factual inaccuracies. 'Hitler was a vegan' he crows- he wasn't at all! There is even debate about whether he was even vegetarian, as the popular myth has it. Do some research! Vegans are “pasty weak and stupid� Pot to kettle! Also, I looked on twitter after the show, and the (friendly and helpful) suggestions from vegans were NOT 'all basically lentils'. As a food writer, he should know you can make tasty food that is vegan! The man's an idiot! All thoughts and opinions welcome. Ads |
