JD Salinger Was Mostly Vegetarian

JD Salinger

JD Salinger, famed author of The Catcher In The Rye, passed just weeks after his 91st birthday.

Publisher Roger Lathbury met with Salinger in the late 80s, asking if he could publish Hapworth 16, 1924.

The two had lunch together and The Washington Post says Salinger confessed to being “largely vegetarian.”

When Salinger recommended a soup with Parmesan, Lathbury said he was vegetarian.

Salinger answered, “I am largely a vegetarian,” and Lathbury told the Washington Post, “I didn’t know what that meant — sort of like saying, ‘I am a little bit pregnant.”

Was Salinger really a flexitarian?

Or trying to impress the publisher?

Kelly Osbourne is smelling like vegetables!

During a recent Tweet, she shared this lovely fact that may have been TMI:

“i smell like a vegetarian I am sweating the smell of vegetables! it keeps making me laugh!”

Is Kelly smelling great because she’s following the rules of the Meat-Free Monday camapaign she showed up to support months ago?

If you’re a veg, you already know you smell better than the carnivores, but here’s a little scientific evidence to back up your claim.

When researchers put several men on meat and non-meat diets for 2 weeks, the odors of the non-meat eaters were judged to be more attractive, more pleasant and less intense.

Guys headed for the clubs tonight might want to chow down on some celery.

It might just be your lucky vegetable.
