Comments on: “A Jew’s Natural Weight is 400 Pounds.” http://jcarrot.org/seth-rogen Jews, Food, and Contemporary Issues Mon, 21 May 2012 04:07:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lee http://jcarrot.org/seth-rogen/comment-page-1#comment-24573 Lee Tue, 04 May 2010 03:00:08 +0000 http://jcarrot.org/?p=5507#comment-24573 Rogen’s openness with the fact that he loves to eat projects the point that Jews are a race of ‘foodies.’ We take pride in the time it takes to prepare a nice meal, and savor the flavors via prayer and appreciation for what it took for the food to get to the table. The Jewish race enjoys food so much that we find it hard to contain ourselves when trying new recipes and combinations, eventually bringing us to an in/nutritious stupor. In reply to Judith’s comment, the reason one would try a plum in Costa Rica is that us Jews enjoy food so much, that we are willing to try almost anything to compare it’s texture and flavors to that of a familiar food.

I imagine the "we really enjoy food" stereotype could be applied to many cultures - Italian? Greek? Anyway, kudos to Rogan for getting healthier.

Why would you eat a plum in Costa Rica? Papayas and mangos and coconuts, yes, but a plum? Really? Love this clip but one question begs to be asked. Why would you eat a plum in Costa Rica?

I love the two of them talking about the plum. Oy. So funny. The same friend also raised the point that this is exactly the kind of Jewish image that Hazon works against when we encourage Jews to be more healthy and more sustainable (thru better exercise - biking- or better eating - more fresh local veggies!). So who's gonna share the work we're doing here on JCarrot with Seth and Jon? Rumor has is Seth is a Habo (that is, he's a member of the Labor Zionist Youth Movement Habonim) - anyone wanna convince him to contribute to the blog directly?
