Delicious TV's _Totally_Vegetarian_
I finally figured out the concept behind the
bizarre food show _Totally_Vegetarian_, which,
of course, specializes in vegetarian food.
(However, if you watch it often enough, it
becomes quickly apparent that they are actually
vegan -- but they don't come right out and
say that, so as not to scare you off.)
The concept is like the old Jack Benny show or
the Bob Newhart show. Host Toni Fiore is the
only normal person on _Totally_Vegetarian_,
and her co-hosts are obvious freaks. There's
DeeDee, the tall, disturbingly thin blonde
who doesn't wear a bra (though she hardly
has anything that needs protecting) and the
emaciated Connie (who I suspect is not only
vegan but macrobiotic). I almost wonder
whether the meat industry is secretly funding
this show, to promote certain stereotypes of
vegetarians.
