Film Contest: A fallen vegetarian, a rising filmmaker

Obnoxious in at least three different ways:

The Seattle Times

Yes, you can watch the film, if you want. Somehow I don't think it portends a rising filmmaker, but perhaps I'm a bit too annoyed to give any credit where it might be due...
I suppose I can't legally call myself a vegetarian anymore, since I've decided that if there happens to be some good ham in the vicinity — organic, free-range ham from pigs who've been read to and slaughtered nonviolently in their sleep — then gosh darn it, I can have some ham. But having no interest in poultry or beef, nor any other pork product, I'm not quite willing to live under the carnivore label. I'm thinking something more like, "hamatarian." Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Quite simply? No.

I just wonder how they managed to be vegetarian so long, if they were ready to give up so easily. It just seems like an excuse to eat meat :S

I personally think killing an animal in its sleep is worse. "Here... Go take a nice nap..." WACK!!!

Not cool man!!!!

Free range? So if they get their 15 minutes of time outside and then back to their small dirty cages they are good enough to eat? I agree with the comment about sleeping. It is like you have saying "aww hush go to sleep" then they are killed? and they are still killed the same as the others. I also agree with the kate who said it seems like an excuse to eat meat..I agree. and the word "hamitarian" (sorry if I didnt spell that right)is just poking fun about eating meat.

I watched the full video and I kind of regret it. She talks about ham like it's a sexual object or something. That would be weird with any food item, but it's even stranger when she's at the supermarket caressing a hunk of ham in the meat section.

dear god, I hope the phrase "hamatarian" doesn't come into popular use.

It's people like this guy who give people the wrong idea about vegetarianism and veganism. That it's pointless and anyone can fall away from it if they can't resist the temptation to eat meat. I hate it when people boastfully claim they were once a vegetarian or a vegan, but gave it up because it was too hard or that eating free range isn't a bad things.

Also I have the word "hamatarian". It is another pop culture word that will only inspire people to use it and think it is cool. I truely dislike things like that.

WTF? I do believe that was the most rediculous article i've ever read (this coming from someones who's gramar and synta are this bad >.<). That was not only pointless and stupid but I think some of my brain cell may have died. I can only say that i am glad that i read the article instead of writing it and having to talk to this woman.

Also how did she manage to be a vegetarian for 15 years if she could so easy forgot all her mora fibers. Also i would lik eto know where these farms exist.... and why would they exist.. is it just me or does anyone else fail to see the humanity in reading to the pigs or killing them in their sleep.

Also i like fake ham and tofurky, i think their yummy for lack of being able to spell a better word. i can only say from the sounds of thing i am glad i did not watch this movie, frankly this woman scares me with both her stupidity and ham fettish (>.<).

B.A.D.


also is it just me or was she eating spam in that picture? Not only do i not remeber ham being that good, but i do recall being revolted by th eidea of spam, while i still consumed hotdogs. ew :shudders:

That was DISGUSTING! I mean, 'I caress your glazed flesh?' Doesn't seem like she was ever a veg for real. And the movie was obviously just for attention. Yeah, she definetly just went omni again for video purposes. *gags*

Why is ham so different from other pork products? What's so dang special about ham? I agree with annikat.

This person is such a waste of space. I am so glad I don't know her in real life. I hope she never has children. She might fimpantly decide she doesn't want to be a mother and sell them to the devil......just like she did her veg soul.

First of all I wonder >why< this woman chose vegetarianism in the first place if spam is so attractive to her. Frankly, I wouldn't feed Spam to a cat - an animal who is almost totally carnivorous. Just, really. Yuck.

Pathetic. I won't watch it. Just reading the caption on that photo at the newspaper's web site was enough to turn me off. Way off.
