Meat is murder

03May08

Posted at the request of my girlfriend, who says she could never date a picky eater:

This Ask Metafilter thread reminds me of an interview I recently heard on the CBC with a musician who had been vegan all his life. He ordered a vegan pizza, and it was pointed out to him when he was halfway through that it had ham on it. He said he ran to the bathroom and vomited.

“You fucking pussy,” I thought. This is the sort of sissy I’d kill and eat if we were in the same plane crash.

    He’d probably be pretty scrawny and not worth eating.

    True, but he should still eat the guy on principle.

    Can you really be a vegan for your entire life?

    Hard to say. Is breast milk vegan?

  5. 5 The Schroederist

    I don’t remember it being especially meaty.

    The Schroederist might not know what a vegan is.

    I think breast milk is okay, since the vegan objection to dairy is based on the fact that it’s not meant for humans. If you were raised vegan, you could totally be a vegan all your life.

    Also, I don’t remember breast milk at all. Was I just weaned early, or what?

    I guess I always assumed vegan was just a really stringent version of vegetarian. Like the difference between a Catholic and a Practicing Catholic.
