I saw a preview for the Wife Swap episode for Wednesday, May 14, 2008 and I think they will have another vegetarian family on the show.

A wife who dotes on her gas-guzzling husband swaps lives with an eco-friendly artist who makes her kids ride bikes in the Arizona heat in order to save the planet.

Didn’t you love the part where the hunting mom says she was, “defending America”? That was so priceless. On another note, I think the show did a lot for the pro-veg side just by the contrast between the “Lord of the Flies,” hyperactive and obviously mentally deficient meat-eating kids and the beautiful, loving vegan kid. Great show–I watch it whenever I can.

Really, one person can`t carry the weight of the wold on the shoulders.

I watched that Wife Swap episode too. I think it’s a fascinating show. It’s like an anthropological study in the range of “normal” behavior in American families. I find the variety of family rules and expectations amazing.

Anyway I agree that it was too bad the mother of the meat-eaters acted like they were forced to hunt, when really I think it was all pleasure. Another thing that bothered me about it was that the father of the meat-eaters kept saying that humans are carnivores and humans have to eat meat to get a balanced diet, and no one ever corrected him! I hate it that the American public was hearing that over and over, when most people already believe it. And yet, it is so false. That was painful to watch. Surely the raw foods mom must have made a pitch for vegan nutrition, and the producers must have cut that out.

LOL!

Well put: “There’s something wrong with the world when I’m criticizing 60 Minutes for being uneven and praising Wife Swap for their fairness.”

Yet another reason I haven’t watched TV in years…
