Ok, I know we live in a society of celebrity worship.
I know I am becoming more and more of a ‘dinosaur’ and care less with popular culture.
But I am concerned with the apparent rush of hope and joy spouted out when some Hollywood Star or Professional Athlete decides to give Vegan, Vegetarian, WFPB SOS a try.
It seems to me that ‘our side’ has just won the Super Bowl and we can rub it in the face of all THOSE LOSERS!
(You do remember that the new season starts in a few weeks and your ‘Championship’ will be worthless, right?)
I hate to say it, but in the Movie ‘Eating You Alive’ one of the big ‘stars’ admits to the wisdom of the change to WFPB, and showed the pictures to prove it worked in his life….. and then…. he admits he went back to the Standard American Diet (SAD) so he could keep a job.
Ok, you have to make a living, but somewhere there has to be a line drawn.
You who have read my blog have seen me refer to Penn Jillette and his 100 pound weight loss. I hope he stays with the healthy life style as much as he wishes, but he may not.
I see glowing reports of many ‘superstars’ who ‘convert’ then as tragic as it seems, they give up the new lifestyle and go back to Crap Eating.
This will get them in quite a special category… If it were some centuries in the past it could get them tied to a pole surrounded by a large pile of wood and they are burned at the stake for being a heretic.
I have seen a lot of friends get excited about eating this way and they arrive at various stages and then go their own way.
Just my opinion… who cares if a Superstar goes WFPB. The truth of WFPB does not stand or fall because a President or Presidential Candidate follows this WOE (WAY of EATING). I don’t care if Tom ‘whats his name’ is Vegan, I don’t care for him as a person, and he has a chef cook for him.
Bless his heart.
I cook my own eats.
I don’t need Superstars to keep me compliant to WFPB.
Besides, I trust and confide in Superstar Athletes and Celebrities about as far as I can spit against the wind.
But then, that is just me…. the ol’ dinosaur …
