100% hardcore


the above is a written review in the ny times about candle 79, a vegan reataurant in nyc. it is a one star review. but there's an online audio that is very, very flattering about candle 79. and truly when u watch and listen 2 the slide show, 79 shines, as it should.

but it's clear that the reviewer thought 2 & 2 equaled a three dollar bill. he jests and jokes about plant-based food, like when he states a vegan reuben should be called a benjamin b/c it's not made from corned beef, even though the original version was reportedly made with ham by a man, not a cow, named reuben. sacred chow is also certified-kosher, maybe we should call chow's reuben, a reuven-shlomo? humour aside, would the reviewer use this sleight if the protein was turkey instead of corned beef? of course not! animal protein is the king of all proteins 2 the consuming mind. we all rely on the chain of life routine 2 calm our savage souls. which is why many of us refer 2 plant proteins as "fake meat", 2 mimic familiar blood names that help associate texture. so we hunt even when we're eating "fake meat", sinking our teeth deep into the flesh of a "3-dollar" veggie "burger or sausage".

the audio states: hardcore carnivores wouldnt tolerate candle 79's lack of animal protein, or any other vegan restaurants. i disagree! just knowing how necessary & important a low-carbon protein diet is 4 our survival changes everything. here, we get 2 use our intellect which is a tad smarter than our inner-beast. so we come 2-gether as a food culture that consumes a diverse texturality of proteins. and as we spin, we solve the most serious conversation of our day, healing mother earth. not only consuming delicious food 4 thought, but creating a sacred act of g-d. and by balancing this sacred consumption, w/ plant-based chow, we increase the health, wealth and safety potentialities 2 life's movement. just like that. just like that. so clink a good glass of wine or gluten-free beer, and give a great, great cheer!
eat 2 tip the balance!
