Author, chef and TV show host Anthony Bourdain explains his disdain for the vegetarian lifestyle. The video was surreptitiously filmed at a speech Tony Bourdain gave at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas on October 20th, 2007.

UPDATE: Bourdain has since on his television programs expressed a more sympathetic viewpoint towards vegetarianism. In other words, he might not hate it anymore. But this is still a hilarious diatribe!

  • @Defleshuary She does. She's currently in Uganda. If you were in uganda living with host families and spending your days at understaffed health clinics, refugee camps, and caring for malnourished children, would you pass up meat if your hosts who don't even have running water managed to get a hold of meat for you? Nice to see that some people would let their convictions get in the way of perhaps some human compassion and understanding.

  • @Defleshuary Sorry if i likened you questioning my friends's conviction to you having a lack of compassion or understanding. Its just a bit infuriating to see you question the strength of her convictions when she is on her third trip to africa (in Uganda) to work with children and refugees, just because its in her belief that she doesn't want to complicate a situation when she is there to help and learn. Just because her convictions aren't the same as yours doesn't mean they aren't strong.

  • @zzpianoman I'm content with my life. I don't need other people to tell me what is "normal". Especially from garbage like you. Take offense. I consider animals we share land with to be a part of our society and it is selfish to think they want to die just to pass through your intestines.

  • @nairategev Uhm, have you EVER smelled a vegan's fart? I rest my case.

  • @bigshrimpn Spoken like a true rude selfish American. Ofcourse AMERICANS don't care who they offend because it's all about ME ME ME. In other NORMAL cultures around the world, people understand that we as humans live in a SOCIETY, where human interaction and "not" offending others is part of daily life. I challenge you to live in one of these NON SELFISH cultures for 3 months and then get back to me on how much you don't care if you offend other people.

  • Bourdain is right on the money. Vegetarians shouldn't be allowed to travel.

  • this guy is a real clown. i mean, a neanderthal clown. 

  • life is too short to make others shorter.

  • my jaw dropped when i heard about idiots putting their dogs on vegan diets!!!! vegan dog? i mean come on. pffft.

  • i'm a sushi chef and he hit the nail on the head. Omakase is such an intimate experience that i'm sad that not not everyone knows about it.
