At some point, you just got to shake your head in complete disbelief. Words just fail at this point.
The Racist New York Slimes had the same story.
This can’t be real, really, this has to be fake news.
A vegetarian won't eat meat.
A vegan won't eat any animal derived product, meat, milk, eggs, honey, etc.
