Very funny…little known fact: one of the greatest moments in Jewish film – Woody Allen being chased by a Lobster in “Annie Hall” – almost featured a big crab instead of a Lobster.

Hey Jon,
The week of food is finishing up but ALEF would love if you could write a post for us about why YOU eat what you eat!

Best,
Alef

Human beings are designed in a way that, on many levels, REQUIRES the consumption of animal proteins. Egg whites are one of the most readily absorbable source of proteins that exist, and animal proteins in general are often absorbed by our bodies in a much more efficient way than plant proteins. In general, eating meat and eggs and fish (in moderation of course) helps to maximize your body’s ability to grow muscle and stay healthy. I understand that you can substitute plant proteins for a lot of things, but not for everything. While I respect the idea behind vegetarianism, at our very core we are still (perhaps unfortunately) animals that live best as omnivores.

Crabs and lobsters typically are burned/boiled to death for human food cravings. Go to a Chinese market — among others — and watch the fish department scaling fish alive. The customer buying the fish being scaled told me that chickens are more delicious when scaled alive.

Even when animals are murdered — I mean slaughtered — under the strictest kashrut fules — pain is deep and wide.

Vegetarianism is very compatible with Judaism and its history: http://www.jewishveg.com . Vegetarianism is healthy, and can be very delicious with little effort and at no more expense than being non-vegetarian: http://www.vrg.org .

I have remained a strict vegetarian for 21 years, and speak from experience.

Thanks for listening. Jon
