Review of Vegetarian for Dinner (es#73)


Life poses many large ethical questions: Do you support the war in Iraq? Should you send your kids to a racially-integrated public school, even though the academics might be shaky?

This piece poses a more down-to-earth question: What do you do if you accidently include chicken broth in the meal you're making for your vegetarian friend? Do you keep mum, hoping she won't notice? Or do you fess up?

In this fast-paced piece, the producers offer listeners a light-hearted debate on the subject as upbeat music plays underneath their voices. At 1:59, it's a perfect length for many purposes. I'd recommend it.

My only beef (pardon the pun), is that the conversation sounded a bit scripted.
