Meatless Mouthful–Mike White Is “Enlightened” Like Amy Jellicoe
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 21st, 2013 in Authors, Film & TV, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“The vegan part of me is where Amy Jellicoe lives. Making ethical decisions ultimately puts you in opposition to society’s norms. There’s so much in our society that values comfort and convenience. It’s annoying when someone asks, “Is this really the right way to live? Is this the right thing to do?” I see myself in Amy, even in irritating ways. But I also find her sympathetic.”
—Mike White, creator behind HBO’s Englightened, on the similarities between himself and the series’s main character who takes a stand against the norm in the corporate world. The entire Q & A with Mike can be found in the print edition of the January/February issue of Vegetarian Times.
