“Unseen” Jason Silva, Max Lugavere Features Animal Friendly Spain Tradition With Tomatoes
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, Food & Drink, Videos.
Max Lugavere and Jason Silva are the hosts of Current Tv’s Unseen, a show where viewers are invited to ditch the tourist pamphlets and take a look at a country from the eyes of a local.
On a recent episode, the two gentlemen featured Spain, and an event where locals showed up to throw tomatoes at each other, La Tomatina.
They compared the popularity of the tradition to the running of the bulls, Lugavere adding, “without the animal cruelty.”
Does Lugavere have a heart for animal rights?
He and Silva were interviewed by Alternative Apparel, where they discussed encouraging greener ways of living, like refusing to purchase food from factory farms.
Granted, living greener usually also means not wasting food, a lot of which is done in this celebration.
Watch the clip for the cruelty-free tomato tradition (minus the use of a ham to start the celebration) above with locals chanting, “There’s no tomatoes. We Want Tomatoes” and slipping and sliding in red pulp.
