Foie Gras: Revisited
Last month I wrote a post Foie Gras: A Cruel Food. While roaming around the streets of Antwerp last week, I came across this sign-board:
The caption Voer voor sadisten (Dutch) translates to Food for sadists. I am happy that there is an organisation GAIA (Global Action in the Interest of Animals) working against cruelty on animals.
"Why are you a vegetarian"? This is a Frequently Asked Question here. Difficult to answer! When I say, "This is the way I have been brought up", they find it surprising, or even funny! Now I have found an even funnier answer. I'll tell them that I am vegetarian because I am a die-heart fan of Kate Winslet, who is a vegetarian.
One should never make a serious attempt to answer the questions of the form "Why are you the way you are"?

Thanks for the info abt Winslet. Now I also know what to reply to that question ;-) I remember having seen Titanic in the theatres 13 times *sigh* and once even in Hindi! And yeah, watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" its beautiful.
"Eternal Sunshine....." was here in the theaters recently. I'll definitely watch it. Hey! Titanic in Hindi must have been a disaster! I am just trying to imagine the transliterated dialogue.
