Anthony Bourdain Will Tell His Vegetarian Teen “It’s Just A Phase!”

Gordon Ramsay joked he would put his kid on a fence and electrocute him if he went vegetarian. Now another celebrity chef with a taste for both fine food and foul mouth has shared how he would react if his daughter went meatless.
Anthony Bourdain told the Miami New Times he will cope with the situation by making her smell pork every day. Lovely.
“I’ll say, “It’s a phase! It’s a phase!” I will live with it. I will love my daughter. But I will cook bacon around her every day.”
Bourdain had better get ready to grab the faux ham instead, because according to the LA Times, his daughter is a good candidate for going veg 10 years from now.
A 2009 poll by the Vegetarian Resource Group found that 11% of girls ages 13 to 15 considered themselves vegetarian, with the typical vegetarian teen being a non-black female.
Vegetarian teens are more likely to eat more fruits and vegetables and less saturated fat than their meat eating peers, according to a University of Minnesota Study, as 26% eat the recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables, compared to 14% or meat eating teens.
Bourdain is already indoctrinating his daughter with a hate for fast food, factory farmed meat like that served at McDonald’s, so it’s not unthinkable to imagine this seemingly vegetarian hating chef to support her in the future.
