Animal rights activists circulated photos of the husband and wife team behind Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre eating a burger and keeping freezer full of beef
The California-based husband and wife founders of celebrity-endorsed vegan restaurant group Cafe Gratitude say they have received death threats after it was revealed last week that they are raising, slaughtering and eating animals on their farm north of San Francisco.
Matthew and Terces Engelhart, both in their sixties, who opened the first Cafe Gratitude in 2004 and whose celebrity followers have included Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyoncé and Sacha Baron Cohen, countered the firestorm of criticism with a defense of the “regenerative agriculture” methods they now use on their Be Love Farm in Vacaville, calling it a personal choice made in the privacy of their home.

Example:
The moral of the story is that
a) you can't trust vegans.
b) meat is better than vegetables
LOL!
They saw an opportunity to make money off vegans. No one says they have to be vegans.
Have never met a happy vegan. Not one. But I have known some happy vegetarians of the Indian sort. I think the main difference is they were that way because of their religion and upbringing and did not expect others to change for their sake. The personality type of westerner, raised in a meat eating culture, who becomes an obsessed fanatic vegan, insisting that everyone must conform to their obsession, is no different than any other whether it be Nazis, Communists, or shriek in your face feminists.

People try to make their veggies look like meat.
You ever seen anyone try to dress up meat as tofu?
Exactly. You don't have to be an alcoholic to run a pub.

Agree. And they never look healthy either(after all that)
Death threats? From peace loving vegans?
Veganism and vegetarianism in the US -- and probably everywhere -- is idealogical, rather than having anything to do with health and wellbeing. Thanks PROCON.
If God didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat.
This one fellow & I would hang out a lot, we would share stories of growing up, things we did, regular guy talk. I asked him if did not eat meat because of his religion, he replied; "no, we never had meat, could not afford it. A family member had a plantation and we ate what we grew"
He never developed a taste for meat.
Another notable and noble thing I recognized is that they look back on the abject poverty that they grew in as humorous and pleasant.
Going to grade school in shifts, studying at night by the light of streetlamp because they did have electricity in their home, etc... laughing about the industrious things they did to get ahead and help support their families...
Never met a Muslim, a vegan or an atheist worthy of trust, and I’m not going out of my way to find their top 1%.
The best way to make your veggies look like meat is to feed them to a cow.
soon they will look like steaks. Very edible
One of the worst cases of cultural appropriation on the books. Imagine the horror of feeding off of vegans.
There’s a side bar article stating that eating meat makes you age. I always thought that you were born, you get older and then you die. Guess if I hadn’t eaten meat all these years I’d still be a mere child instead of 75. LOL
I know some vegetarians that personally don’t like the taste of meat and found over a period of time the less they ate meat the better they personally felt...they could care less if someone else liked steak and if they were out dining and they accidentally eat some meat it was not the end of the world. they just preferred not to eat meat.
Yep.
Calorie restrictive diets do increase longevity. It spreads out the food intake across a larger period of time and your vital organs like the liver do not get fatty and the risk of diabetes damaging you/organs goes down.
