Sarah Palin's book sparks attack on vegetarian critic: "'If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore,' she wrote. 'If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”"
But the former Republican vice presidential candidate did not stop there.
“I love meat," she writes. "I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals -- right next to the mashed potatoes.”
Why does this woman delight in being so caustic and appearing so literally stupid? She presents as someone that does not see the human being as a continuum, with a past that was different than the present. But she lies that she sees nothing; she misrepresents when she says she hears nothing.
She's aware; she knows her creation, but she will not admit to being there. In "Eating Animals", author Jonathan Safran Foer was perhaps unwittingly speaking of Palin when he wrote, "It's always possible to wake someone from sleep, but no amount of noise will wake someone who is pretending to be asleep."
