"Salt contains sodium chloride!"That's the biggest scandal since it was discovered that the water provided in many U.S. cities contains high levels of dihydrogen monoxide!http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

I actually read an article where vegans called CPS on their neighbors for feeding their kids "poison", which turned out to be, yes, normal food like meats and dairy products. Apparently CPS did a whole huge investigation on it, until they found nothing wrong. I mean, I've known some nice, friendly vegans before. They weren't like, stupidly religious about it even, some even broke their own rules and ate meat when they went out with friends every so often. Also I believe theres a certain type of Vegan that gets their protein from dairy products. But man, can people overdo some shit. I about lost my shit when the chick at the end was befuddled as to why someone would feed their cat meat.

Well, if they're consuming dairy they're not actually vegans. They're vegetarians.
Veganism = no animal products, including no butter and no honey (THINK ABOUT THE BEES!)

Veganism is extremely extreme, there has never in the history of mankind been a vegan society of any sort. Even Hindus are only vegetarian as far as cows are concerned, since the cow is sacred to their culture.

Isn't Byrne Dairy just the shit?I mean.... I just assume you're talking about Byrne Dairy, because they're huge. And awesome.

Nope, that's not who I get it from, but I do know of Byrne. I get it from some Arab family farm through a Brooklyn-based vendor that connects consumers with raw dairy producers. They also (sometimes) have Camel Milk stocked, but usually in the summer.

This reminds me of when I lived in Austin in my early twenties. I was working at UT and living at one of the co-op houses they have near the campus. Now these houses are great, they're old Victorian homes with communal restrooms and kitchen/dining area, people share chores and all that. The houses are labeled vegan, vegetarian, carnivore/vegetarian friendly. I was naturally in the carnivore house up until my lease ran out but I was not ready to move so they found me a room for a week in a vegan house. My boyfriend at the time was a pescatarian but he never bothered me about eating red meat.

So we go to this vegan house, unpack and get settled in our room and head over to the living room where everyone is gathered around watching TV. I'm assuming it's movie night. Nope. It's propaganda night. They're watching this graphic video about chicken farms and slaughter houses, probably to remind themselves why they should be indignant and disgusted. I declined to watch and was given the stink eye from everyone. The next day, after a long day of work pulling text books at a warehouse, I grabbed some pizza left over from lunch and went to heat it up in the microwave.

The smell of melted cheese and pepperoni must have filled the air because within minutes I had about 5-6 vegans surrounding me in the kitchen, screeching to high heaven that I had defiled their microwave. I offered to clean it with bleach and apologized because I didn't know that they were that freaked out about animal products that it was not even allowed in the house, let alone appliances they cook with. That night they had a meeting to decide whether I would be allowed to stay or not. I had to sit on a chair and get lectured about vegan propaganda and why what I did was so awful. I had to suck it up because I only had 5 days left before I was going to leave the city.

Since then I just can't stand vegans. I know like every other movement, there are zealots who give it a bad name but that whole incident just annoyed the shit out of me.

TL;DR

Vegans shit bricks when I heat up pepperoni pizza in their microwave. Make me stand in judgement of my actions.

Try living next to a college that specializes in Natural Resources. There are so many people like this and worse here. I was at a friends house last year, some chick smacked the shake I was drinking out of my hand and told me she just saved my life.

....

that shit was blueberry.

....

I fucking love blueberry :(

I would say I hope you slapped that taste out of her mouth but clearly she didn't have any.

I'm mostly a carnivore. Can't stand vegetables, period. I like some fruit, like watermelon and grapes.
And as far as vegans go, self righteous pricks.

If you know me at least in the slightest, you can be assured that my reaction was not G rated. She tried having an argument about food but I kept avoiding that debate and focused on the fact that I had shake all over me. She eventually backed off and I didn't see her again.

No class, SMH. An omnivore would never do something that rude.

I can image it involved an icy glare of death and rage barely held in check.

@Griever, Ah, good to know the difference. Vegans are like, the Neo-Hippies.

R.I.P Blueberry Shake, cut down in it's prime, I'll bet.

Nevar forget.

I have no problem if people want to be vegan, but they should also respect the rights of others to not be vegan. It's the same principal as religion -- you can believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster for all I care, but you have to be respectful of my right to choose to not believe in him, too. You can't ask to have your beliefs respected and then blatantly trample on the beliefs of others. It's one thing to have an open discussion about differing beliefs (it can actually be fairly interesting/enjoyable to do), but the minute someone goes and starts slapping a milkshake out of someone else's hands, that crosses a line.

I think I have to agree with these guys. I do love me some Kakarot.

I'll never understand why people feel entitled to touch other people's shit. Slapping a milkshake out of someone's hand based on food beliefs to leaning on someone's car out in the parking lot or those people that go into a store and have to manhandle everything on the shelves. If it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it!

I should have put that on the pet peeve list.

Austin's terrible

This was one of the first lessons I learned in elementary school - keep your hands to yourself (unless someone asks you to touch them )

My grandmother instilled a deep rooted fear in me about touching things. She would slap our hands if we picked up one of her little porcelain figurines or tried to get a candy off the rack at the register. By the time I got to kindergarten I was pretty well trained and had trouble taking crayons out of the communal basket.

But then again, there's stuff like this:



And I totally get why a vegan household would be upset about someone cooking meat and cheese. Of course some vegans are too zealous about it, but I wouldn't go around cooking pork in a Muslim kitchen. This isn't much different to me.

It's different because a Halal/Muslim diet provides ample nutrition.

Forcing your kids to be vegan is starvation/malnutrition which means that Child Protective Services SHOULD get involved.

There's a difference. I'd be afraid of pissing off a Muslim but what's a noodle armed Vegan gonna do?
