Bibi Lynch can suck it.
The media is completely swarmed by useless articles, dated, dry and a wave of confusion. Writer for The Guardian, Bibi recently published an interesting article for Social Voices on the vegetarian culture. Lynch, nicely as she did- said we vegetarians are not be trusted. I have not eaten meat ( fish, chicken anything with a face is my moral) since I was 5. The only one in my family, I just decided it was never for me. For the last 18 years I have had to succumb to cliche questions and nearly everyday queries as to my choice. I don't think I will ever sit through a dinner without hearing the ' So what made you not eat meat?' like it's 2012 and it's such a shocking lifestyle. It's like asking someone why they are gay- from the perspective of it's on common grounds and it's not 1800. I spoke to a vegetarian recently and they pointed out that it's becoming boring to be asked such questions all.the.time. If I have do endure another confused look when I try and explain that I don't eat meat I will actually give up. You can't really explain it. I still do not know my exact reasons, I attended some Peta fairs a couple of years ago and signed petitions about KFC keeping chickens in poor conditions ready to be slaughtered for Mums Night in bucket (yuk) but except from this, it's just normal for me.
This is just how I see it. Onto Bibi, I don't really understand her intentive desire on the article. Is she trying to spark debate? Or just to dabble in some light humour? Either way, if she was joking - it undermined a lot of readers. You think that MSN Social Voices could push and create a more relevant piece of writing to today's vegetarian cultures. Lynch is making us out to be like criminals then contrasting us saying we are too 'Zen' for life, a load of hippy bullshit, Lynch then follows on to say that it we were in an Apocalypse we would basically die for being weak etc etc you get me? Was she high when she wrote this article? The view from the public is similar, many have commented stating it's weak humour. However, one person actually said that vegetarians are on drugs, and Paul McCartney is our influence.
Saying all this, it did spark up some conversations and it is intriguing to understand other peoples opinions- only if they have a worthy response. Read here and see what you think :
