Jonathan Safran Foer “Eating Animals”–11 Things To Do Instead

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

A smart aleck by the name of Foster Kamer wrote a post for Gawker.com on some alternative ways to spend you time instead of reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s latest book, Eating Animals.

Here are just a few things Kamer says you can do besides read Jonathan’s book:

6. Eat some tacos. Pork tacos.

7. Eat some bacon (but don’t be obnoxious about it).

8. Eat a bacon cheeseburger.

Number 11 on Kamer’s list is the taker–”STFU” (Shut The (Expletive) Up).

How nice.

Eating meat must hamper your creativity skills because “burger” is way overused on the list. C’mon. Kamer could have at least branched out and said something like, “Build a model White Castle restaurant from old newspaper, then recycle it.”

At least that would have made the part time, greenie vegetarians a little happier.

Seriously, if the only way to respond to an opinion that’s different than yours is with cutesy, junior high school retorts, you had better not use that “humans can eat meat because we’re superior to animals” argument.

The number one thing to do instead of writing a nasty column on why people shouldn’t read Foer’s book?

1. STFU and (tie)
2. Read the book. Then STFU.

The story centered around the murder of a farmer set to inherit a factory farm.

During the episode, activities that take place in a poultry plant were shown, including the crowding of the animals and debeaking (ouch) that occurs in newborn chicks.

Stella McCartney “Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed Woman” 2009

Time's 100 Most Influential People In The World

Stella McCartney has been named Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed Woman of 2009.

Stella was chosen by a panel of fashion experts that included designers Roland Mouret, Christopher Kane and Christian Louboutin, and The Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman and Lucy Yeomans, editor of Harper’s Bazaar.

“Stella articulates the values of her mother Linda, and creates sexy clothes that women want to wear. She dresses for herself and her husband – I really like that,” said Mouret.

Speaking of values, Stella’s make her the best dressed on our list too, as the vegetarian fashion designer not only refuses to wear leather and fur, but keeps these materials out of her fashion collections.

Stella’s most recent creative project is a collaboration with BabyGap and GapKids, Stella’s first clothing line for children.

Fellow vegetarian Alexa Chung came in third place on Harper’s list.

Congratulations to Stella and Alexa!

We’re proud that veggie women came out on top!
