The boy was keeping a photographic journal of his experiences on the set of the movie, and one of the things he pointed out was how Joaquin Phoenix was a strict vegetarian (or vegan). When the boy asked him why, Joaquin went on about how it was so healthy, and what you put into your body is important, etc. Then the boy pointed out, "But you smoke - that's no good for your body." And Joaquin (whom I adore as an actor) admitted that yes, he was contradicting himself!LaReinaCobrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554970165949410961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1144622630465823842006-04-09T18:43:00.000-04:002006-04-09T18:43:00.000-04:00Maybe it's the nostalgia for old dietary restricti...Maybe it's the nostalgia for old dietary restrictions that makes so many UUs incredibly obnoxious and self-righteous about their vegetarianism or veganism?

Not that there was any restrictions.. it is considered the opposite of Thanksgiving. Generally people refrain from work and food during the day, and have a light cold meal in the evening. The day is spent in reflection of things that need to be changed and how we can change them.Jamie Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024268765705070420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1144455153241934892006-04-07T20:12:00.000-04:002006-04-07T20:12:00.000-04:00Does insisting on fair trade coffee count as a die...Does insisting on fair trade coffee count as a dietary restriction?
