Because of Feminism. - Feminism is the equality of man and woman. - Feminism is knowing that women can be abusive too. - Feminism is not assuming that the girl is telling the truth with little evidence just because she’s a girl.

Because of evidence

- the placement of the bruise changes places (it also seems to have disappeared in a few pictures). - ear witness statements. - friends / family / exes defending him; yes some people say that it’s not valid but believe it or not an ex who spent 14 years with him and had two children with him is going to know him a little bit better than a woman who was with him for 4 years and married for 15 months. - police statements that say she had no bruises, no injuries at all and no evidence of disturbance on the night they were called. - her own lawyers making mistakes in statements. - inconsistencies in her stories. - screenshots from iOS 9 that were supposedly taken in May 2014 (iOS 9 wasn’t out then and neither was the iPhone 6) - Stephen (who the screenshots were taken of) denies such conversations and is willing to testify under oath in Johnny’s defence. - witnesses and friends willing to testify under oath for Johnny.

The suspicious facts

- the fact that she hasn’t posted screenshots with Johnny or the video she supposedly has. - the fact that she SOLD her bruise pictures (that were professionally taken) to a magazine. - the fact that she only claimed abuse after he denied spousal support. - the fact that she is asking for so much from this divorce. - the fact that she used the most public entrances and exits from the court. - the fact that she was smiling/ laughing inside the court, posed outside and made her bruise the most visible it could be and suddenly started crying in the car – this coming from a witness who was inside with her.

There are so many more reasons why I support Johnny but the point is;

He was a chef who literally worked up from dishwasher to globally renowned “food personality”.  He had worked just about every position in a kitchen. He never turned his nose up at street food and drank beer from a plastic bag because that’s how the locals did it. In an important-to-me move, he insisted his show go to the Azores when he learned while visiting Portugal that the food labeled “Portuguese” in Rhode Island and Massachusetts has its roots in Azorean cuisine rather than mainland Portuguese cuisine.

He gave a shit, not just about the food, but about the people who produced it. We bandy about the term “ethically sourced” like it’s nothing but a marketing buzzword. But Bourdain gave enough of a shit that he, Eric Ripert, and Christopher Curtin teamed up to make a chocolate bar with chocolate sourced from a single farm in Peru. But he, Ripert, and Curtin didn’t stop there. Bourdain cooked for the farmer’s family when he was there with one of his shows. He introduced the farmer’s daughter to some of the most famous chefs in Lima. He, Ripert, and Curtin, also made it a point to get rice stoves (stoves that burn rice hulls instead of wood and are not as toxic as wood) put into the homes of farming families in Peru.

There’s a prayer I’m reminded of, a modified version of a Christian prayer that’s used by my pagan church. “[Deity], we ask you to bless this food we are about to eat. We ask you to bless the hands that made it, both seen and unseen. We ask you to bless the hands that grew it and harvested it, both seen and unseen. We thank you for these gifts. So mote it be.”
