Hezbollah Tofu Is Back
The cookbook will be written. The recipes will be used. And animals will be saved…
“Hezbollah Tofu is not going gentle into that good night, nor is it shrinking back from its intended purpose of handing Farm Sanctuary a big freaking check with Anthony Bourdain’s name on it. As long as people continue to eat, watch craptastic Travel Channel reruns, and smoke Marlboro Lights with all the affectation of a first-year grad student, we’ve still got a dog in this fight–he just happens to weigh about 7 pounds and spend most of his time sleeping/farting”

I had a discussion with someone the other day about Bourdain’s inanities. Drawing from his ridiculous assertion that “vegan’s represent all that is wrong…”, I claimed: “Vegans are truly concerned with reducing unnecessary suffering and preventing the enslavement of the kinds of beings who have interests, most fundamentally to not be in pain, that matter to them. Now, does that sound like we represent what is wrong with X or everything that is right with X?”
Suffice it to say, this once defender of Bourdain was forced by reason to reconsider his affection and he admitted as much.

The blogger at Hezbollah Tofu is a hilarious writer. Even nonvegans can appreciate her humor. Bourdain’s comment is ridiculous and very NOT funny. Here’s the Hezbollah Tofu blog’s backstory: http://hezbollahtofu.blogspot.com/2008/02/no-reservations-but-plenty-of.html
