A light piece on one famous chef's decisicion to make her restaurants meat free. From the article it sounds like meat meaning land-animals. That's always a bit confusing.

As investigative and balanced As an article can be when interviewing a restaurant owner about how they source their product and what dishes they serve. Interesting that she still serves fish though the data on overfishing, false labeling and contamination in seafood is so well documented.

This article was well-sourced and provides great context on Dominique Crenn's background and motivations for removing meat from her restaurants. A well done piece that doesn't take a political or moral stance on the issue being discussed.

First, she fails to address a simple fact of life, growing vegetables is not a carbon neutral endeavor, especially if you are plowing and fertilizing fields to grow that vegetation. Second, a vegetarian diet will not significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Third, though eating less meat may indeed be a healthier proposition, a vegetarian diet may not necessarily be healthier. As for her decision to go meatless in her restaurants, I applaud her endeavor, though I will never travel the forty miles to San Francisco to eat in one of her establishments, meat or no meat.

Even for people who don't know the chef is possible to see how passionate she is about her job and beliefs, and how this kind of decision is related to her personality. The video helps a lot to get her way of thinking and expressing herself and made me understand her point of view. Good article with great context.
