So if I ask a vegan “want a cheeseburger?” I can go to jail?

Protected Philosophical Belief, Mocking Vegans May Constitute Crime

So . . . would showing the movie, Life of Brian, constitute a crime?

Is mocking being an omnivore also a crime?

Or is this, like all things, a one-way street?

Yep, just as with Christianity, it is now officially a religion and should not be allowed in public schools.

I’m not a vegetarian because I love animals.

I’m a vegetarian because I hate vegetables.

I honestly don’t care about those who wish to go the vegan route. I just wish they would shut the hell up about it.

Do your own thing. Great! Quit making me think of the topic every time the mood strikes you.

Every time a new restaurant opens that caters to vegans, someone has to tell me about it. And then they always remind everyone that veganism is just exploding around the nation.

I DON’T CARE!

I’m not trying to sell you meat eating. Quit trying to sell me on not eating meat.

I don’t care how incredible the fake meat tastes. I eat real meat. And if the goal is to eat something that tastes like meat, just eat meat. OKAY?

Then conservatism, Christianity, etc should surely be a philosophical belief worthy of the same protection.

We have a few friends who are vegetarians, but not the loony types, they do it for their health and only talk about it when asked.

So whenever we invite someone we know is a vegetarian over for dinner we make sure to have options for them. But it got me to thinking that I have never been to a vegetarian’s home for a meal where they have options for omnivores.

Next time I get invited to a vegetarian meal...I’m bringing meat. Maybe some baby back ribs, burgers, and brats.
