This is Luiz Antonio, a three years old Brazilian boy explaining to his mother why he won't eat octopus. I was so moved by the video I decided to create this blog for it. Please share...
Transcript of this beautiful conversation:
Luiz: That's ok?
Mom: Ok.
Mom: Now, eat your octopus gnocchi.
Luiz: Ok mom, alright...
Luiz: ...This octopus isn't real, right?
Mom: No.
Luiz: Then alright...
Luiz: He doesn't speak, and he doesn't have a head, right?
Mom: He doesn't have a head. These are only the chopped little legs of the octopus.
Luiz: Huh?! But...is he head in the sea?
Mom: His head is at the fish market.
Luiz: ...The man...chopped it? Like this? [sawing motion]
Mom: Yes he did.
Luiz: Why?
Mom: So we can eat it! Otherwise, we'd have to swallow it all.
Luiz: ...But why?
Mom: So we can eat it, love. Just like a cow is chopped, a chicken is chopped...
Luiz: Huh? A chicken! No, nobody eats chickens!
Mom: Nobody eats chicken?
Luiz: No...those are animals!
Mom: Really?
Luiz: Yeah!
Mom: So let's eat the gnocchi. Eat the potato, then?
Luiz: umm...just the potato and just the rice.
Mom: Ok...
Luiz: Octopus are animals...
Mom: Alright.
Luiz: All of them are animals...
Luiz: Fish are animals...
Luiz: Octopus are animals...
Luiz: Chicken are animals...
Luiz: Cows are animals...
Luiz: Pigs are animals...
Mom: —Yes...
Luiz: So! ...When we eat animals, they die!
Mom: Ah...yes.
Luiz: But why?
Mom: So we can eat, love.
Luiz: But why do they die?
Luiz: I don't like that they die...
Luiz: I like that they stay standing up.
Mom: Ok. Alright. So we're not gonna eat it anymore, ok?
Luiz: Ok!
Luiz: These animals...you gotta take care of them...and not eat them!
Mom: [quiet, then laughing tenderly] You're right, son. So, eat the potato and the rice.
Luiz: Alright...Why are you crying?
Mom: I'm not crying...I'm just touched by you.
Luiz: I'm doing something beautiful?
Mom: [laughing tearfully] Eat. No need to eat the octopus, alright?
Luiz: Ok!

Someone needs to explain to him that animals dont die because/when they are eaten. Everyone and everything dies. It is natures life cycle for living things to eat once living things. Its awesome and beautiful that this little guy cares so much for them he just needs to be taught that the life cycle is a natural and beautiful thing. Food is not meant for enjoyment but for survival and nutrition unlike this mother is saying.
