Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Renamed 'Hubby Hubby' in Support of Gay Marriage
Hey Gramlee (and the other morons), denying people the right to marry based on gender isn't a conservative or liberal position. It's a bigoted reaction based on religious nonsense. It is completely indefensible by any rational person, especially a REAL conservative.

LOL at "conservatives" bothered by a gay-friendly ice cream flavor. I'm sure you could petition Turkey Hill to make a special edition; "Butter-brickle-bigot" seems catchy.

No gramlee, you're a moron because you base your decisions on a collection of fairy tales. Of course it's your prerogative to buy or not buy a product; just as it's our choice to point and laugh when you make a fool of yourself in a public forum. You deserve as much respect as someone who claims the world is flat.

Foodie vs. (Vegan) Foodie: Let's Stop Dropping Anvils Already
Eating no animal products is as silly as eating only animal products.
Religious reasons? Bullshit.
Moral reasons? Fuck you.
Health reasons? See Japan.
Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Masters' Episode 8
What a terrible episode. Upon hearing the dietary restrictions, the chefs should've hogtied ZD and her friends then force-fed them offal.

Should Junk Food Help Pay for Health Care?
What a terrible idea. We haven't even addressed this country's poverty situation; until everybody can afford food, why increase the cost?

Undercover Investigation Reveals Non-Vegan Food at Vegan Restaurants in Los Angeles
re: Nithya - yes, and the comments would be just as funny. If you decide to live a life of culinary self-deprivation, you deserve to be the object of ridicule.
Lactivism
This is such a non-issue...like dairy (and it likes you)? Eat it. If not, don't. I don't understand people who want everybody *or* nobody to eat something.
The Organic Milk Business Has Gone Bad: Are You Buying Less Organic Milk?
@geeka - you're oversimplifying the situation and you know it.
"It is well known that some people are able to digest milk while others aren't, and this ability seems to be concentrated in some populations and lacking in others. The usual explanation for this is that in cultures where milk is used regularly, the population has evolved the ability to process it. But, why do some cultures use milk in the first place? A new paper shows that extreme climate conditions are associated with lactose malabsorption (LM), since it may be impossible to maintain cattle at such conditions. More importantly, LM seems to be associated with the presence of several dangerous cattle diseases. Therefore, in those parts of the world where it was not possible to raise cattle safely and efficiently, humans avoided doing so, and hence they did not develop the necessary mechanism for absorbing lactose."
Evolution and Human Behavior
Volume 26, Issue 4 , July 2005, Pages 301-312
Ignoring the easily overcome issue of lactose intolerence, your argument for consuming milk (I like it!) trumps Valefar's asinine "healthy" one. Humans do many things that other animals don't (or can't) - are they all wrong? Anybody who think so is free to turn their computer off, give away all belongings, and wander off in to the woods.
The Organic Milk Business Has Gone Bad: Are You Buying Less Organic Milk?
Valefar, do you seriously think anybody reading a thread lamenting the plight of organic dairy farmers is interested in your pseudo-scientific blathering? Please die.
Why The Hate For Alice Waters?
CJ McD,
Do you realize how many people live in poverty? I'm not talking about the US, that's a very small part of the picture - I'm referring to people who make less than $1.25/day. At least one in six people in the world fit that criteria. Of those people, the overwhelming majority are severely undernourished. Millions of children starve to death every year. Do you seriously believe that they can afford to spend more money on food? What's your solution for parts of the world with large populations and very little arable land? We're all aware that this isn't an all-or-nothing philosophy; growing vegetables at home is a good thing if you can do it, and buying foodstuffs (notably fruits and certain vegetables) from local farms at the peak of freshness is an enjoyable luxury, but the ideas you espouse as "world-saving" can't really be applied to most of the planet we live on.
Why The Hate For Alice Waters?
Hate? That confused, doddering old hippie isn't worth the effort.
Survival Guide for Vegans in Japan
Option 1:
During the whole trip, live in constant fear of unknowingly consuming a tiny amount of delicious and healthy fish, all the while driving companions and hosts crazy with your rude and irritating neurosis.
Option 2:
Stay at home (Japan thanks you.)
Option 3:
Stop being a melodramatic ninny and eat the same crap you enjoy at home - Japan is not on the planet Mars.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 48: Thinner on the Beach
Great job Ed! Losing (or maintaining) weight during the holidays often feels like an uphill battle.
Vegitarian-ism EPIC FAIL
Obviously you crave and enjoy these items - why deprive yourself? If you are a vegetarian for "ethical" reasons, then work on your self control or buy meat from responsible sources. If it's a health-based choice, ignore the PETA propaganda and eat a healthy diet which naturally includes moderate amounts of meat-derived protein. One can love bacon and tofu!

Do Biodegradable Spoons Ruin the Ice Cream Experience?
yeah, that's a ridiculous statement. who charges $5 extra for a cone? i don't think i've ever paid $5 total for ice cream even for a big sundae.
Do Biodegradable Spoons Ruin the Ice Cream Experience?
I very rarely get a cone...just don't care for the taste or texture of cones very much (not waffle cones or those cake cones either). Don't like 'em made with chocolate, don't like 'em dipped in chocolate, and don't like 'em with sprinkles. I prefer to get a bowl. And sometime's they'll charge an extra $5 for one (a flattened piece of dough is very rarely worth $5 to me).
Zooey Deschanel Guest Judges on 'Top Chef Masters' Tonight
Wow, being gluten intolerant and not eating soy would really cut into my own vegan diet. I'm sure , though, that like most vegans she focuses on the delicious things she can eat and not all the junk that she can not - and that's what the chefs have to do too.
Foodie vs. (Vegan) Foodie: Let's Stop Dropping Anvils Already
You can certainly be a foodie and vegan. While we may have some dietary restrictions compared to the average eater, we are also much more aware of what we eat than the average eater. Being vegan makes you aware of and appreciate your food just that much more.
Foodie vs. (Vegan) Foodie: Let's Stop Dropping Anvils Already
I became a vegan at sixty-one (I'm 61 and 1/2) out of sheer curiosity and a desire to reduce my negative impact on Mother Earth. I wanted to know what my childrens' friends were experiencing, what was piquing the interest of some respected authors and artists, what the Skinny Bitches of the world knew that I didn't, and, most of all, how one could cook well on a vegan regime. I've been having a ball with it! There are some anxious moments in the kitchen, since almost every meal is a wild experiment. And, I'll admit, traveling can be a hungry experience. Nevertheless, I'm not interested in going back to my carnivorous ways.
It's interesting to encounter the assumptions my acquaintances make about veganism: they seem to assume that I've got a moral stake in it somewhere, that I've gone uber-Buddhist, that I feel superior. They have trouble understanding that I might simply be exercising an option. They say it is good for the functioning and longevity of our cognition to learn new things in our senior years; since I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I wondered how I might turn that time into a real challenge. I think I've found a way I can feel good about.
I'm blogging about it with what passes for dry Southern wit and shots at seasoned wisdom at http://www.maturelandscaping.com. Am I the only senior nouveau vegan extant?

OK. It's clear this thread is going nowhere fast and has run its course. Closing comments now, as it's going to be more of the same from here on out.

oh_no_eric--EXACTLY. I could not agree with you more!!!!!!!!!!
Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Renamed 'Hubby Hubby' in Support of Gay Marriage
aw, Haglered, it's so good to meet people like you. What amazes me about Christians is just how JUDGEMENTAL (hmm...mental?) most of you are. Isn't God supposed to be the one true judge?
By the way, I'm a lesbian (married in Connecticut about two weeks after it was legalized), and I'm also a catholic. And God loves me just as much as he loves you. Remember, we are ALL God's children.

All these companies may have an agenda...and when they make their agenda obvious, it is then my right to no longer buy their product if I choose not to. At least I still have that right, but maybe not much longer with the current administrations communist agenda. And Doctrine....I'm a "moron" because my opinion differs from yours? Hmm I thought liberals were supposed to be open-minded?? I guess not! Oh I forgot, its okay to hate on white christians...just not any other group, such as gays. To base an opinion on "religous nonsense"...very cliche response to anyone opposing gay marriage. All opinions are based on some source within your mind...who is to say a religous source is any more "nonsensical" than a non-religous source. All opinions are just that--opinions....with none being truly right or wrong in nature. But most peoples minds cannot comprehend that, its comical really lol

When I buy ice cream, I am not out to support a politcal agenda, I want to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Such a shame people are still so backwards in this country. Nasty, nasty comments make me sad. Oh well, more ice cream for us non-bigots then! :D

That is TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!
Such support shows a total lack of morality.
I don't buy Ben and Jerry's, I certainly will not now.
If you ignore Natures (or I should say God's) laws you are on the road to destruction. Such is the case with the homosexual community. Emotional illness causes them to behave unnatually. Supporting this unnatural activity is as wholesome as pushing tainted twinkies.
Maybe there is a connection there???

All this Pro Gay and Anti gay ice cream talk has me so excited I want to hand pack some fudge and slurp up some smooth vanilla cream and lick that great big spoon. What ,what I say. Ice cream is ice cream isn't it? I'm waiting for Ben and Jerry's pro abortion flavor- it's what ? Bloody what? Baby what?

How is this any different from people eating In N Out burgers that are wrapped in bible verses? or Chik Fil-A who discriminate, er, screens employees based on their religious beliefs in order to create a Christian workforce?
Give me a freakin' break. All of these companies have an agenda. If you're gonna boycott any company that expresses their views and beliefs, you'll end up a very busy home cook.

How sad that such a small gesture to once again be inclusive to all has so many people, for whatever reason, so angry. These are the same conservatives who are so worried about the elected President of the United States speaking to our kids to tell them to work hard and stay in school they want to refuse everybody's kids the right to see him. I let my child listen to Nancy Reagan with her "Just Say NO" campaign. Thank you Ben and Jerry's. I for one, have always been a fan and now am even more of a fan. I hope all those who are so anti gay never have a child that is homosexual-who are you to tell others how to live their life?
Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Renamed 'Hubby Hubby' in Support of Gay Marriage
Hubby-Hubby....wow, just not the mental image I want while enjoying ice cream. Sorry, BJ, no pun intended, but I won't be buying your ice cream anymore. Its good, but theres better ice cream out there that doesn't shove personal politics down my throat, literally. Its funny how liberals claim to be "open-minded", when in reality the only thing they are open to is their own liberal opinions...so no one is truly open-minded.

I think it's supportive in a meaningless way...they aren't changing it anywhere but that state and the only people outside vermont that will ever know are the ones that have read this article.

What a totally awesome thing to do!!!!
I fully support it.
Obviously the people who are complaining have their own issues.
Everyone is the same. The only thing different is who they sleep with & that is behind closed doors so it is none of my business. A person is a person, it doesn't matter who they love, let them love whoever, how does it effect you? It doesn't so let it go.
I say more "Hubby, Hubby" in the world

my family (including my husband!) will buy it & support it.

Is it possible that the tap water could be a source of the shellfish reading? I know here in NYC there are miniscule crustacians that cause some strict Kosher families to avoid drinking it.
Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Masters' Episode 8
I am way late to the party on this one because i just watched the episode on DVR last night, but a couple of thoughts on Michael Chiarello:
He's going to be in the finale. Especially with Art gone, he is by far the most telegenic and charismatic of the chefs up there. Yes, he can come off as a bit of a douche. But that 'limp wrist' comment, terrible as it was, was funny. and his cooking is solid. as for the lemon- yeah, he squeezed it with his teeth. THE OUTSIDE. it's not like he used his tongue to extract the juice and then spit it into his dish. lemons are tough and slippery, and if he didn't have a juicer, that was no doubt the best way to get out the most juice. i'm surprised the attitude here isn't more: "professional kitchens are chaotic environments and sometimes you have to improvise; there's probably a lot that goes on in there that we don't see that we wouldn't necessarily want to see; but the food tastes great all the same. it's not like he dropped it on the floor.
Hard to know who will win at this point... Chiarello and Bayless seem to have had the most consistent performances. Perhaps one of them will pull a "Hosea" to Lo's "Carla" and Keller's "Stefan".

Do Biodegradable Spoons Ruin the Ice Cream Experience?
I definitely think that metal spoons are the way to go and this blog, (or at least the comment section), has inspired me to carry my own utensils when I go out. (Easy for a girl since we have purses!) And I have a friend who has a metal issue with wooden spoons. It's not exactly a phobia, but he gets serious hee-bee-jee-bees when someone, anyone uses a wooden spoon!
Down with plastic!!! I can't wait to go yard sale-ing this weekend to find some cool utensils!!!
Do Biodegradable Spoons Ruin the Ice Cream Experience?

A couple thousand plastic spoons X all the people on earth WILL destroy the planet.
