Editor:
The article on $20 dining for two (“Cheap Eats,” July 26) was a big disappointment. Meat, meat and more meat throughout the reviews; even, “you can see and smell the long skewers of meat being turned on the grill.” I barely recognize the Journal anymore. Instead of taking leadership, you heartily embrace stupid, retro-evolutionary, ecologically unsustainable trends such as the current meat craze.
I’m not sure what the Journal does stand for these days, but you try hard to show what you don’t: vegetarianism, animal activism, environmental consciousness. Probably in homage to the almighty dollar (ad revenue), you bend over backward to prove you aren’t mere hippies, but are tough, hard-nosed business people. If you’re too mainstream and commercial to be the underground or alternative press, then what are you??Enjoy the cholesterol and karma, folks, you’re earning it.

MEAT IS YUMMY! Behold the power of BACON and SKEWERS! I think I’ll have a meat-laden sandwich (with a slice of avacado, for taste).
Now watch Ms. Ashley have a seizure reading this comment.
Wow, this is the most arrogant, self-righteous and narcissistic letter. I know you will find this hard to believe Diana Ashley, but it’s NOT all about you. Shocking I know!…….. Gee, sure wish there was a ‘In and Out’ in Humboldt…………..
Ms. Ashley: you’ll take my meat away when you pry a delicious burger from my cold, dead fingers. A lack of protein is making you crazy.
I should eat less meat. We probably all should. That said, paleolithic hunters used to kill eight ton mammoths with spears. That’s how good meat is.
Thank you, Diana.
