Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (Video)

Growing up, you may have read the famous Little Women book by Louisa May Alcott.

A documentary of the author, Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, is airing tonight on PBS at 9PM EST in most areas, as part of the American Masters Series.

The film is based on a book with the same title by Harriet Reisen, which claims Alcott was raised vegetarian.

Movies usually don’t portray as accurately as the books. Will the American Masters film show an Alcott eating loads of meat during her lifetime?

Watch the clip for a sneak preview.

Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer is vegetarian, but you won’t find him eating in vegetarian restaurants.

Instead, he chooses to patronize businesses that make non-meat options available, like several of his favorite spots in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

So where can you find Foer in between him writing drafts of his next bestseller?

Well, for one, Bonnie’s Grill has veggie burgers so good you’ll curse.

“Their veggie burger is f—king great! I remember what hamburgers were like, but, believe it or not, I would choose their veggie burger over a hamburger. I know that sounds just like what a vegetarian would say, but they are maddeningly good.”

Will there be a hoard of meat eaters flocking to Bonnie’s in the New Year and talking like sailors once they take a bite?

Ted Nugent Inducted Into The National Bowhunters Hall Of Fame

Every time a vegetarian celebrity opens its mouth, another deer dies.

At least that’s how Ted Nugent wants it.

The musician who’s made it clear in the past he’s not a friend of vegetarians or animal rights activists recently expressed his discontent over those who find fault with one of his favorite sports of hunting.

And warning: he’s not too rated G about it either.

“Pam Anderson… if you get the d**k out of your mouth for two minutes, you’re telling me I can’t eat venison? You don’t authorize venison?”

“My name is Ted Nugent and because of Pam Anderson… and because of Paul McCartney, all the members of PETA, whenever I hear the word animal or rights in the same paragraph, I’m killing an extra hundred of something this year.”

Nugent insists he doesn’t let any of his game go to waste.

“I’m not just killing them, I’m f**king slaughtering them and I’m going to gut them and skin them, quarter them and butcher them and feed them to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of America… That’s my goal in life.”

Paul McCartney may be the object of Nugent’s hatred this time, but last year he was willing to buy him a vegetarian meal.

After Paul received threats for agreeing to play in Tel Aviv, Nugent told the press, “It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

It’s time to buy Pamela some tempeh to make up for that oh not so nice statement.
