Anthony Bourdain

Today I learned that Anthony Bourdain had wrote: 

  "Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic.”

Such an ableist attitude. I can handle it, but somebody who has carpal tunnel syndrome or heaven forbid, a disability might not be able to manage it. So what are they supposed to do? Forgo the joy of using garlic in a dish? I don't think so.

Maybe he would have lived longer if he'd just taken it easy and used minced garlic.

Maturity

I contend that if you don't wince at some of the things you did when you were younger, you still haven't grown up.
