Soleil Ho Blithely Reaches for a Cheese-Burger

Dear Soleil,

I hate to be whiny, but I'm disappointed that the Food and Wine section has dropped Plant-Based options for Meat-Free Options.  It's so easy in most restaurants to find meat-free dishes.  It's the ones free of meat and dairy that are more difficult to find in restaurants still denying climate change.

You, too, with your pictures of the cheese-filled burgers seem to be in denial.  I fell asleep reading Jonathan Safran Foer's We Are the Weather, but here's something he says in that book:

“We cannot keep the kind of meals we have known and also keep the planet we have known. We must either let some eating habits go or let the planet go. It is as straightforward and as fraught as that.”

Here's what the Guardian says:

First, a warning: this is a life-changing book and will alter your relationship to food for ever. I can’t imagine anyone reading Safran Foer’s lucid, heartfelt, deeply compassionate prose and then reaching blithely for a cheeseburger.

And yet....you've blithely reached.
