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!
