Vegetarian Star

Yesterday we learned that legendary chef Julia Child couldn’t understand why anyone would want to follow a vegetarian diet.

Now, we find out not only did Julia hate on tofu, she didn’t care too much for organic food either.

According to green gossip website, Ecorazzi.com, Meryl Streep, who plays Child in the movie Julie & Julia, recalled the time when she asked Julia what she thought of organic ingredients.

Child wrote Streep a pretty nasty letter saying she didn’t care for organics.

It was only later when locally grown, sustainable foods champ Alice Waters came along that the chef started to embrace the food.

Planning to see the blockbuster hit Julie & Julia?

Before you go, you should know, when it came to vegetarians, Julia Child was a little…well, just read this quote from a 1999 interview with PEOPLE magazine.

“Personally, I don’t think pure vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle. It’s more fear of food—that whole thing that red meat is bad for you. And then there are people who don’t eat meat because it’s against their morals. Well, there’s nothing you can do with people like that. I’ve often wondered to myself: Does a vegetarian look forward to dinner, ever? “”

Well, then…we suppose a vegetarian never looked forward to any dinner Julia Child made.
