I used to be a vegetarian, until I started leaning towards the light!

Smith?

“Vegan” must be code for “lesbian” in this article.

I spent two weeks among a group that included many vegans. My take was that there was pride and arrogance involved. They hung out together to lie and be lied to. Starving was a badge of honor. Pride in starving was to hide the general misery of merely being an inferior sort.

Veganism is a lot of things.
Mental illness, masochism, child abuse...

healthy is not one of them.

For me, being a Vegan means being accepting and saying Yes! to things, things like meat.

I suspect all the women at the Northrop/Gillett dining hall have hairy armpits.

veganism is a mental disorder.

It's a political ideology, not a nutritional decision

somehow i get the feeling that most vegans are for show and secretly eat meat and dairy when they think nobody is watching

To the best of my knowledge, and someone please correct me if I am wrong, there has never been a civilization on Earth that is totally vegetarian.

The reason is brainlessly simple. Following the “10 mile” rule, which is defined as the distance a man or woman can travel on foot (each way) on a daily basis, there is no place on earth where their are a sufficient variety of non-meat products to make a healthy diet.

People can and do eat healthy as vegetarians, but they do that by supplementing what they can get locally with things that are not available within that 10 mile radius of where they live.

I can’t help it. I get a kick out of vegans. I’ve read their magazines and they seem to combine the worst elitism/superiority/martyr complex personality traits that you’ll find in hardcore feminists, gays, atheists, professional minorities and leftys in general.

Not that I consider it my business to judge people by what they eat, some do it strictly for perceived health reasons and some for religious (hindu, certain buddhists, jains, etc.) but for most, there really is an almost palpable eagerness to look down on the rest of humanity, even while whining about being persecuted. They are almost always extreme misanthropic PETA/greenies. For most, I’m betting it’s just a passing youthful enthusiasm. For the rest, I would advise getting to know one well before engaging in a relationship.

It's fun being a Vegan.

The buffet at the Bellagio is great; the Cirque de Soleil shows are a kick (but pricey); and I once saw Wayne Newton pass me on the the 215 Beltway.

Who wouldn't want to be a Vegan?

I would consider being vegan if I could still have beef, bacon and SPAM
