From Fort Worth chef Tim Love's Twitter page:
cheftimlove "I'm a vegetarian and your steak just changed that. It was that good" eddie vedder. About the dinner I cooked for him! about 3 hours ago
Anyone want to email or twit him or whatever newfangled technology would answer the question?
...I'm a veggie of about 18 years - 100% without caving in, so I'm just a little curious.
for the record the 'chef' who posted that original 'tweet' has since removed his post.
here's his twitter page: http://twitter.com/cheftimlove
this is what i wrote him late sunday night after it was posted on the forum:
"@cheftimlove you're sayin that Eddie, who's been a long-time vegetarian, ate meat? how does one convince a vegetarian to eat meat that easy?"
he hasn't replied yet. so i guess we'll never know...
"one man stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
eyes above the horizon
in the dark before the dawn..."
"i am a donut"
"Then you have the fact that there are certain parts of the world where it isn't possible to grow crops due to extreme temperatures, and thus meat eating is essential for survival."
So what do they feed the animals? Other animals??
To add to the seafood bit, there are some climates that are too harsh to grow crops that humans can digest, but can grow grasses and other plants that can be digested by many grazing animals that are farmed by the indigenous peoples in the area.
Nothing wrong with eating meat...I feel fortunate to live in a place where you can leave out before the crack of dawn, venture into the woods, kill a buck, and have it on the grill by the evening. Unless you have eaten freshly "harvested" venison, don't knock it.
but one of my hard rules is that if someone is nice enough to cook me dinner or invite me over and all they have is meat, I eat
no need to be rude, it rarely happens but once in awhile I have to partake out of respect.
good rule of thumb.
i know a veggie who was heading over to italy. i RAVEd about the proscuitto, how fantastic it is, and how he really should enjoy some mozzarella, proscuitto and red peppers. jokingly. he took a picture of himself eating it. was awesome.
now i DO understand there are many people who go veggie/vegan from a moral perspective, but if from a health perspective....yea, wavering here or there ain't gonna kill ya.
besides, we are OMNIvores by nature. so eat and enjoy what you will.
seeing as ed wears leather, i am going to imagine he's a veggie simply for health, or overall tastes, rather than solidly moral grounds. so if the man wants to eat a steak, or get pepperoni on his pizza now and again, more power to em. or anyone really. tis a non-issue imo.
edit - as to the guy's twitter page, maybe he was asked to alter it, or he simply thought it a good idea...given that many pj fans actually give a shit what ed eats.
