Just make sure you don't put Jello on that plate...I HATE when the meat warms the jello and you get jello juice in the meat, the veggies, etc.. Separate plate for jello!

Hey, now! There's never any Jello on my plate. I don't eat anything that comes from a pig!

I do, occasionally, miss marshmallows and the rare pork chop!

I'll probably regret saying this, but I have a certain respect for the protesters. Yes, there's an SNL-skit quality to protesting a pizza parlor about its cartons, but two other things occur to me:

(a) Unlike yours truly, they've had the courage to look at the realities of where modern American food comes from and the character to adapt their diet accordingly. In pitiful contrast, I look the other way rather than face the cruelty that goes into my menu.

(b) At a time when "the younger generation" is often slammed for self-absorption, they bestirred themselves to raise awareness about an issue that moves them--without, so far as I can see, much personal gain thereby. Can't recall the last time I did that.

So, dc...I get what you're saying, and part of me is sympathetic.

But I'm not simply dismissive of these folks--rather, I'm concerned. It's easy to come in waving about whatever cause du jour and say "let's do something" and, commendable, do it. But what's missing is any sense of "Well, what is it we want to happen?" let alone "How do we know when we've accomplished it?"

Is it to get to cows off the boxes? Or pictures of mournful cows? Or pizza using soy cheese instead?

Rushing off with no strategy and direction is how so many people achieve so much less than they dream. And unnecessarily. I'd be far more impressed if, regardless of how worthy or not I happen to deem it, they had an objective, clear steps and a path toward a measurable result.

This? It's far more reaction than any proactive stance. And...it doesn't help the cows either.
