This actually made kind of cry.... I can't believe the odasity some people have to intrude on other people's families, order them food, then try and shove it down their throats.

It's just terrible... it's crazy that people really feel that it's unamerican not to eat meat.... pfft.. aweful.. people can be so heart less whenever it comes to their choices of food.. :(

It was just acting - and the peole around them - the customers acted really well, the family at 5 minutes were so cool! I think this is a postive video not a negative one! :)

that little girl was a great actor!

But sadly, this kind of thing really did happen to me quite a bit while growing up in the 70's in Colorado (middle of beef country).

My personal opinion is that we have come a really long way since then.

This was all acted. I think this was actually made to demonstrate that the "couple" who tried to push meat on the girl were crossing a line. Their behavior was portrayed as intrusive and inappropriate. If anything I think the video was more sympathetic towards people with unconventional child-raising choices. We live in a country where you can't even criticize people for spanking their kids.

Having said that, you do see the occasional uneducated vegans getting put in the crosshairs by the media when they are scrutinized by legal authorities for undernourishing their kids. The example I remember were some couple who only fed their baby applesauce. I think the media deliberately draw attention to people with different belief systems. They know the public like to use incidents like this to indulge in finger-pointing, criticizing others' choices so they can feel better about their own. Unfortunately it just goes with being a moral minority.

People like that do exist, the ones who think meat is all important, in the real world. I have plenty of friends who think that and it is just because they are not educated about what meat and animal products do to their body, the media keeps america in the dark about the real health problems associated with such things... but im glad there are people who have the guts to stand up
