Hey, That's Me! (Score:2, Interesting)
I occasionally do some buying at markets with open meat grills, and the stench is revolting. I find that I can't concentrate or hold a reasonable conversation if I'm downwind.
Yes, Morrissey must know that festivals are prone to all kinds of unpleasant smells, and he could have been a bit more professional, but I sympathize with his distress. This was obviously a bad night all around, and Moz knew that things were not going well. Watching the Coachella webcast, seeing him choke and hold his ears and ask the audience how he could possibly make things worse was painful.
All this fuss over his remarks is ridiculous however; this is Morrissey, what else would one expect?

Being vegetarian is the Only way to be.
if you continue eating meat, well then you are eating some very harmful "food".

" In his uneven and mistake-plagued set, Morrissey, upset by the scent of wafting barbecue, uttered a sentence extreme even by the occasionally inflammatory rhetoric of the animal-rights movement: "I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it's human." At least he acknowledged his culpability in the flawed performance, saying, "Now what's wrong? Is there anything I can do to make it worse?" "

Morrissey doesn’t want people to know things for certain reasons
No matter what you say, you can’t change anybody else. Do you notice every day, you show how you are feeling. You people just can’t take it when others talk. Isn’t that what these boards are for? Yes, yes
The more I think about it, they just can’t admit it. But, but it is real.

Following your logic, though, only fruitarians, jains and (possibly) organic vegans have a right to express their views on cruelty, because everyone else is morally complicit in crimes against the planet and the creatures who live on it. That's ridiculous. In the real world, people make all kinds of moral choices at different times in their lives. I have a relative who consumes no animal products at all. He survived in a war zone without having to compromise his vegan diet. Still, he wears leather shoes, so I guess he's not fit to comment on cruelty. The fact that he was in the military would also make him unworthy of voicing his opinions (by your standards).
Morrissey's actions may be a bit hypocritical (so few of us are pure), but "reprehensible" and "idiot" are strong words coming from someone who shares his beliefs, and takes them one step further. He has every right to express (however operatically) an honest, visceral disgust that many people feel.

For me, I've always backed Morrissey on his views eventhough I don't agree with some including being vegetarian. In and Out, hmmm.

I love Morrissey, yes, but he is ONLY human. Someone needs to remind him of that.

It means he still relevant, he's still causing drama, and rumors are still swirling about our Charming Man.
I don't see what the big deal is. He was being typical Morrissey and the quote is so humorous.

1) He's militantly veggie
2) He's a bit heavier than he used to be
3) He said something about immigration, so lets make him seem hypocrtical by suggesting he's right wing and secretly holds similar views to our paper.
It's quite good to see that the press still think him relevant enough to make a fuss about a tiny incident in another country though.
Although, maybe not. The tabloids today write about every second person in Britain (haven't we nearly all been on Big 'Bother' by now?).
"Extra Extra, Posh Spice breaks wind on trip to the nail parlour."
Thank God for Morrissey taking a stand about a real belief he holds. I also thought the cannibalism suggestion was rather amusing. At least it'd make things a bit more interesting if we took to eating people. I might even renounce vegetarianism!

What is your argument?
there is NO argument.
You can eat 5 portions of chicken a day or a big red steak - but in order to have your vegetable fibre a day, you need to eat VEGETABLES.
