Campaign to get the FOOD CHANNEL to add a VEGETARIAN SHOW

[Guest guest]

Everyone, please take the time to email the food channel, please. As many of you

know, it's laden with meat in almost every single show. Apparently, they dropped

a Vegetarian show they used to have in favor of meat-obsessed ones. I happen to

love the Food Channel, but I get sick to my stomach viewing show after show with

meat. One another site I belong to we are sending email to them asking for

another Vegetarian show. So, if you would like to see this, send an email and

pass the word along to any of the vegetarian groups/sites you know of to email

them as well.

I looked, but couldn't find what you were telling us to look for.

However... I did find this:

Thanks for posting this. I, too, would like to see more vegetarian shows on the

Food Channel. There used to be a show with Curtis Aikens that was vegetarian

but once he had a guest on his show that prepared a dish with either meat or

seafood in it. He appeared put off by this, and I think it was unexpected for

him, but he politely commented that his show was normally vegetarian, although

he let her continue cooking. If you look at the ads on this show, they are all

heavily meat and dairy industry ads. The meat and dairy industry basically fund

the Food Channel through their advertising. Have you also noticed how fat

everyone gets when their shows have been on for a few years (Emeril, Bobby Flay

and Ming Tsai have all gotten chunkier since their shows debuted). This is no

concidence, nor just the inevitable weight gain as you get older. If they

aren't fat, their shows don't sell because their food can't be all that good,

right? Remember, " pork fat rules " . What happened to Debbie Fields' show? Was

she too skinny? And why was Curtis Aikins cancelled? Was he too vegetarian?

Some shows still have some good vegetarian and vegan recipes, but not enough and

not in any way that takes it seriously. What they really need is more

advertising support from vegetarian businesses to balance out the messages from

the meat and dairy interests. I will send them an e-mail - good idea.
