Bill Clinton, Lady Gaga, and Snooki

Are we in the Twilight Zone?  Why is Lady Gaga wearing a meat dress and Bill Clinton eating like a vegan?  The world turned upside down.  Let's take a look at these three *major* developments in the celebrity food world.

1. Lady Gaga's meat dress

You've seen the pictures.  Reports say that the dress was, in fact, made out of meat.  And they're going to preserve the dress for posterity by -- you guessed it -- turning it into jerky.  Needless to say, this would be a very dangerous dress to wear at a paleo event.  Reminiscent of when Burger King released Flame by BK, the Whopper-scented cologne.

The bottom line: I'll stick with Camille Paglia's scorching assessment that Lady Gaga represents "the exhausted end of the sexual revolution".  And not sexy in the slightest.    What a waste of good meat.  

2. Bill Clinton is a vegan

In the summer, I wrote about Chelsea Clinton's vegan wedding.  I never thought it would happen, but she convinced pops to give veganism a whirl.  He's lost a lot of weight -- as will anyone who stops eating processed food.  Unfortunately, he regurgitates the bad science of the vegan movement around cholesterol and The China Study.

The bottom line: It's a shame that so many liberals confuse political and ethical ideology with sound health advice.   Feel free to have ethics inform your food decisions, but please don't confuse the two.

3. Snooki doesn't know what tofu is

Snooki, star of The Jersey Shore, recently said this:

"Tofu.  I thought that was like touche.  I didn't know it was a food."

Wow.  Never ceases to impress.

The bottom line: Snooki is...right.  Soy is a substance we'd best not consider edible.  Soy has toxic effects when consumed by most animals in tons of lab experiments.  It's not a real food that people should be eating -- it's a legume that eaten in its unfermented form contains tons of estrogen-like substances. 

WIN for Snooki!
