We all love when a meat-eater takes the time to promote vegetarian options. It’s great that we can go to an event like South By Southwest and actually have something tasty to try that isn’t just a salad. However, I have to say that I’m a little disappointed that Ecorazzi is choosing to focus, primarily, on the positive aspect of Rachel Ray when there is a whole lot more to talk about. Her comment about always making sure to include a vegetarian option seems to be little more than veg or green washing, especially since her company produces kitchen products that are completely unnecessary. For example, I was recently in a home supply store and saw a melamine bowl (read: not environmentally friendly) for sale called the Garbage Bowl. I thought to myself what is that, so I turned the packaging over to read more about it. Apparently, it’s meant to stay on your counter and act as a receptacle for veggie and other food scraps, so that you can save time going back and forth to the garbage. Imo, it’s a complete waste of money and just adds to the unnecessary plastics that are spoiling our natural environment and contributing to climate change. Perhaps a little less rah rah Rachel Ray is in order….
