The Indigo Girls are on tour promoting their album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug.

Amy Ray, is the vegetarian of the duo consisting of her and Emily Saliers, and the pennlive.com described them in polar opposites:

“Amy Ray is the country girl; Emily Saliers likes the city. Amy plays punk while Emily is more R&B. Amy is a vegetarian; Emily’s a foodie.”

“But take this chemistry of opposites, stir it together and you get a harmony of melody and rhythm instantly identifiable as the Indigo Girls.”

We’re all about the Girls differences making for a diverse item, but not too thrilled that the opposite of vegetarian is described as a  foodie.

From Websters, foodie is described as, “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads.”

So the opposite of that is a vegetarian who’s been eating plain beans for the past 2 decades? No way!

Any veg knows we can sample the latest way to do chicken, beef, or pork faux style in the kitchen.

Looking for a cheese ball, fondue or other dairy delight? Even a vegan can grab a hard or soft variety of cheese at a natural food store needed to complete the dish.

Not only that, but with more people incorporating meatless meals into their diets these days, for environmental or economic reasons, looks like we’re the ones starting the “fads.”

Vegetarians aren’t the opposites of foodies.

They are the new foodies.
