Anthony Bourdain Says Meat Not Necessary, India Is Perfect Example

Written by Vegetarian Star on September 14th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink.


Why do some restaurants feel the need to put beef or chicken stock in a vegetable soup?

Vegetable oil is healthier than animal fat, so why is lard still being used in dishes?

Anthony Bourdain is not a vegetarian’s best friend (during a recent interview, he suggests we have a social obligation to eat the turkey grandma cooks on Thanksgiving), but he does agree that the ubiquitous presence of meat is unhealthy and unnecessary.

From Now Toronto:

“I don’t think that people should be compelled to put pork into everything and I agree that it’s a good idea to have vegetarian alternatives as part of a healthy and interesting diet. I’d be perfectly happy to live in India for a week and eat nothing but vegetarian food because they actually do it well.”

For those that can’t live in India for a week, Tasty Bite ready meals are one way to provide the authentic flavors of India with a touch of the microwave button. From Channa Masala to Vegetable Korma, Tasty Bite meals provide vegetarian, refrigerator-free and freezer-free ways to sample the country’s goodness. Check out selections of Bombay Potatoes, Bengal Lentils, Punjab Eggplant and more at World Pantry.
