First off emily is a vegan not a vegetarian so get that right first off. Also emily jst plays the part she most likely didnt choose to make that episode the writers did so don’t go blaming her and saying she was using the show to promote anything. The show is amazing and yea the last few episodes havnt been all that great but still. You need to get all your facts together before you try to demote the show bcuz u don’t approve of how the show is going and because the last episode had to do with “factory farming”.

Regarding your headline: Do you also advocate eating people? Because we are also made out of “meat.” We are made up of fat, muscle and flesh just as pigs, cows and chickens are.

Pigs, cows and chickens can also feel pain just as we do.

Humans thrive without meat. High quality protein can easily be obtain from plant sources. These sources have no cholesterol and usually no saturated fats. Older people often have to cut back on meat just to stay alive. Humans weren’t “meant” to eat meat. We evolved the capability to do so but it is unnecessary and, all things considered, not conducive to optimal health.

I’ve never heard of hair falling out. I’m a body-builder and need about 190 grams of protein a day. This is very easy (and enjoyable) for me to obtain on a strictly vegan diet

Animal agriculture causes immense amounts of suffering. Only someone in denial or uneducated about the issue would dispute that.

Animal agriculture accounts for 20% of all green house gases according to a recent study by the U.N.

Sorry to just start spitting random facts at you but I’m compelled to correct people when they get these kinds of things wrong.

Thought you could use some positive feedback from a meat-eater so here I am. I love Bones and really disliked this episode and having Emily Deschanel use my favorite program to promote her politics.

I was surprised to see the agressive responses you received to your article. That proves that politics have no place in an entertainment medium. All of a sudden people are all worked up over vegan-vegetarian isms. The show is about Booth & Bones and is followed by all of us romantics who enjoy the interactions between them.

I don’t want to know any of their personal political stances as much as they don’t want to know mine. “Bones” actors/writes etc. should stick to the business of entertaining or run for political office on their own time.

I don’t think I quite understand why you’re so angry- because the producers of Bones made you feel bad about your food choices?

No one’s shoving an agenda down your throat, they’re telling it like it is. I applaud Bones for dedicating an episode to the grim realities of factory farming. Most people have no idea where their food comes from, and that is dangerous.

And really, factory farming is not the ‘circle of life’, and you’re lying to yourself if you think it’s natural.

You don’t know as much as you think you know. Emily is vegan not vegetarian and if you want to eat meat and are fed up with bones then f off and go eat meat and stop watching bones. That gives the real fans a chance to watch the show and enjoy it without idiots slagging it off every week.

I don’t want to start some carnivore/vegetarian debate on here, but I think before you try to talk about people’s need for protein (specifically gotten through meat) you should educate yourself more on the actual facts of this matter. I realize this site is more about pop culture than journalism but every writer, no matter what audience they are writing for, should arm themselves with facts before making such blatant assertions as you did here. If for nothing else than your own journalistic integrity. I think no matter what side of this debate anyone stands on, they can agree on that.

I love meat too though you’re missing out if you don’t eat dog meat. It’s particularly good when you brutally slaughter the dog so it produces adrenaline and then the meat tastes better. You should try deep-fried golden retriever.

WOW!! Haha, it’s the same for any good tv show. The current season is never as good as past seasons. BTW I’m a vegetarian, and most of us don’t obsess over what other people eat,I mean there are some vegetarians like that, but I don’t have any issues with other people eating meat. Just saying we’re not all the same.
