Be Yourselves, Girls, Order the Rib-Eye - New York Times

Someone needs to start exvegetarian.org so we can start tracking these twits who equate their having been vegetarian with being “neurotic.”

That article pissed me the hell off! Because, you know, we all want to be as “assertive” and “unneurotic” as Paris Hilton… gah.

Seriously, is the NYT funded by the Meat Council? Idiots. I love the three “related links” at the bottong of the article:

Science And Health: Briton In Florida Has Mad Cow Disease (April 19, 2002)
Study Links Cancer Risk To Red Meat (May 1, 1996)
Breast Cancer Linked To High-Meat Diet (December 16, 1982)

Again I say, idiots.

What a pathetic article. Women who eat meat to impress men must be pretty desperate….
Thanks for posting!

stupid NYT. links at the bottom of this insane article ties breast cancer to meat consumption. what is it with NYT anyways? may be the meat industry is keeping them afloat by advertising heavily in their newspaper.

Ha - I never once had a guy balk when I ordered the vegetarian option. I was vegan when I met my meat-eating husband and now he’s vegan too.

Not to mention the entire concept of choosing what to order based on what your date will think of you is just downright silly.

I think my favorite line of the article was “Real men eat kale.” Now that I can agree with! :)
