From last night's 60 Minutes Andy Rooney segment, I would say that Andy has taken the road to senility. Seriously. Last night they just let him talk about food- nothing in particular about food- more like a free form thought flow about food.
First, he said he sympathized with the spinach growers in California whose e-coli laden produce made one person die and dozens of others sick. Then he said that made him think of when thousands of Indian farmers committed suicide a few years back when their crops failed (?). THEN he talked about although he's a meat-eater he would never eat horse. This led to an old WW2 story about when he was stationed in France, and after battles were over the hungry French villagers would come out and cut up the dead horses to eat- which, of course, he thought was disgusting. OK, lets not mention the fact that it was France in the middle of WW2 and they were probably starving without their GI rations.
He finished the whole thing off by saying that we all know that vegetarians are crazy, but that's probably the wave of the future.
Rooney, you are killing me. I'm actually surprised that Andy Rooney doesn't discredit the whole 60 minutes organization with his nonsensical tirades. Besides, isn't it about time for retirement? Rooney grinds my gears enough when he actually has a topic and sticks to it for 2 minutes (Salt and why the aliens are coming to get us), but the free-form tirade just set me over the edge.
