Look what Anthony Bourdain is doing to his daughter

This is vile. And it begs the question how is 2 and a half year old daughter even knows about mcdonalds happy meals if he has never given them to her.

Don't get me wrong, I would certainly never feed my dd mcdonalds but I am that he would traumatise a small child in that way, and congratulate himself on it.

What do you reckon?

Can you imagine any mother worthy of the name agreeing to this?

"Dw - lets go and stand outside our toddler daughter's room and inflict some psychological abuse on her and fill her head with a pack of lies about McDonalds - that would be far more sensible than just saying No and teaching her about good food, wouldn't it!"

"Oh yes Anthony darling - what a wonderful idea - I can't see any way in which that could hurt our little angel, and there's no way she'd resent us in the future for lying to her in this way - it is an entirely loving and caring solution!"

I think we are so keen to believe that he is joking, dittany, because the possibility that he might be telling the truth is so horrible to contemplate.

It's not just the Macdonalds thing
This, for example

'But the idea of a vegetarian traveller in comfortable shoes waving away the hospitality ? the distillation of a lifetime of training and experience ? of, say, a Vietnamese pho vendor (or Italian mother-in-law, for that matter) fills me with spluttering indignation. No principle is, to my mind, worth that; no western concept of, "Is it a pet or is it meat?" excuses that kind of rudeness.'

is ridiculous. Because vegetarians should eat meat that is provided by someone who 'knows' how to cook, otherwise it's rude

And in that one, tiny article there is so much hate and bile and resentment that he isn't Jamie Oliver more famous.

wanker.

and rudely refusing to participate in the slaughter of animals. How dare they. Perhaps AB could start telling his daughter vegetarians drink little girls' blood.

I wonder if he's quite so sanctimonious about having a fag in the presence of his daughter, given that every time I've seen him on telly he's had one hanging out of his mouth.

I'd rather my daughter took up McDonald's than smoking.

My very committed vegetarian friend actually chose a rabbit from a pen to be slaughtered for her dinner so as not to offend her host when in Italy

He doesn't want his child to eat Mc Donalds or any fast food then for me is simple ...Don't take her there.
DD4 has never been in one , she has never asked and I haven't offered it to her. I am not bothered by people who go there who/ want to eat there either .

Sorry that should be dd1 aged 4

So he filled his bloodstream with pharmaceutical shit for 25 years which is far more likely to fuck you up than a McBurger, but objects to his daughter having meat in a bun and a few fried potatoes once in a blue moon?

What a total and utter idiot.

I see becoming a parent hasn't made him any less of a tedious egotistical bellend.

Oh lovely, I haven't heard 'bellend' in far too long.

It's an underrated insult.

This man is clearly a psycho who is abusing his power over his child to brainwash her and indoctrinate her, surely that is a form of emotional abuse?

It is disgusting.

He will be paying for her very epensive therapy in years to come.

I always thought he was a bit of a tit. mediocre chef. wierd cookery programmes. didn't know about the 25 years of drugs. blimey. thats going some, isn't it. this artcile is no surprise. he is a bit of a knob.

He's the food writing equivalent of a shock jock. His entire schtick is to be controversial and obnoxious.

(He's still a tosser)

Actually my DDs would quite like a Barbie head dipped in chocolate. Chocolate to lick, Barbie head to play with - what's not to like? Especially if it came with a Happy Meal toy.

Do you work in marketing, Zachary?

I lol'd at the article on Saturday because I assumed he was exaggerating.

I shall be attempting to use the word Bellend during the days discourse, Cyteen.

I get why he's doing it, he see's (in his mind) that people get addicted to fast food and he wants to avoid this for his daughter. He is however, a twunt in thinking this will work.
