Vegetarian Star

Anthony Bourdain has admitted to knowingly sleeping with a vegetarian. This ended relationship must obviously be why he’s called them and vegans a “persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.”

Despite his hatred for bean lovers, there’s a potential bedtime fellow he’ll never seduce–that’s McDonald’s. The Guardian contains an edited abstract from Bourdain’s latest book, Medium Raw, which describes his hatred toward the giants that suck children into meals consisting of factory farmed meat bad for people, animals and the planet.

“They know exactly when and how to start building brand identification and loyalty with brightly coloured clowns and smoothly tied-in toys. From funding impoverished school districts to the instalment of playgrounds, McDonald’s has not shrunk from fucking with young minds in any way it can. But I want my little girl to see fast-food culture as I do. As the enemy.”

Make no mistake about it, Medium Raw was not written for Bourdain to proclaim his enthusiasm for Meat-Free Mondays. He even sarcastically mentions he agrees with PETA that animals should not be confined in cramped conditions–this would make them less tastier for eating.

But a man who hates on the circus as much as the animal rights group he pokes fun of does and agrees it’s a form of animal cruelty at least recognizes a predator–Ronald McDonald–when he sees one.
