Choosing not to eat meat is a life choice, not being a picky eater. IF a crew person makes unreasonable requests, that's one thing.<br /><br />I don't eat meat, but as I said in previous post, I don't eat when I work, so it doesn't affect me.<br /><br />What you have to understand is that your crew is captive on set. They don't get to go out to lunch at their convenience the way someone in an office does. You determine when they eat and where they eat - that makes you, as producer, responsible for providing a hot meal, and a vegetarian alternative. You have to accommodate for food allergies It doesn't mean you have to provide macrobiotic only (I actually used to be macrobiotic), raw foods only (I had an actress/model who was) or "I don't like (blank)."<br /><br />I also find that on any decent-sized crew, there are a number of vegetarians today -much more so than when I first started.<br /><br />To me crew friends - let's not make this into an on-going debate. Kangas, if you choose to not hire vegetarians, so be it, but you may be cutting out some talented cast or crew just unnecessarily. <br /><br />For not the first time, we will agree to disagree. :)JB Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258303283672775536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522305918133904836.post-39099896306610490012012-06-04T02:24:45.417-04:002012-06-04T02:24:45.417-04:00Ha, now you're talking!

And it's getting to the point that I'll just not cast vegetarians, or I'll tell prospective veggie actors--bring whatever you want to eat.<br /><br />Bit of a pain in the ass to have to accommodate one or two picky eaters.
