American Idol Finalist Anoop Desai Had Vegetarian Past

What is it with all these folks coming over to America and ditching their veggie ways?
First, we were saddened to learn that Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi slowly started to eat “bologna” and “pepperoni pizza” as a teenager, then progressed to full blown Hardee’s Bacon Western Thickburger spokseperson.
Now, we learn a finalist on this season’s “American Idol”, Anoop Desai, was “raised by family of vegetarian immigrants,” but assimilated himself to become a “typical American kid who eats typical American food.”
Uh-oh. And you know what “typical” is.
One of his family members said, “But he has a lot of discipline, and though he enjoys food greatly, we have never seen him overeat.”
Desai was a lucky man after being asked to come back to the show on a “wildcard” in a previously unannounced 13th spot.
Maybe if he wins, he’ll get back into the club with Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and the off the wagon, trying to get back on it Ruben Studdard.
