Catherine Keener, apparently, will not eat pork because “piglets suckle, and I’m a mama.” Which, you know, I get – I’m a sometime vegetarian – but, um, don’t calves suckle, too? Also baby goats, and sheeplings, and other creatures from whence our foodstuffs come?
Also: not to get all counter-lactivist about this, but given that Keener made this pronouncement while chowing down on chicken wings, are we to understand that only creatures that nurse their young are maternal? Does a chicken popping out eggs not count as maternal? If our alien overlords of the future turn out to be humanivores, will Keener demand that they spare the real mamas and only eat the formula-feeders among us? Nestle would go out of business, for sure, and then there’ll be far fewer chocolate bars, and then WHAT WILL THE WORLD COME TO?
That all just seems wrong to me.

To eat chicken but never any pork. That seems very Muslim!
