so this has what's been bugging me lately. preachy self righteous spoilt rotten vegans. i have no problems at all with veganism or vegans for that matter. i'd say that 50% of my friends are vegan or vegetarian. each to their own, i guess. anyway. last monday we go to the east brunswick club, a pub famous for $10 vegan meals. faux cheese and bacon burgers, faux chicken burgers, etc. this guy, straightedge al, orders a faux cheeseburger. the food takes fucking forever, and when it finally comes, he takes a big bite into it... only to realize that its actually a real cheeseburger. he spits what's in his mouth back onto the plate and starts yelling. i'm sitting at the other end of the table. i giggle a little, because i've never seen al so furious/emotional in my entire life. he's usually really nice and courteous. he yells, 'you think this is fucking funny? it's not fucking funny! rah rah rah!' then he takes the plate of food, goes to the kitchen, and makes them throw the entire thing out.
2 problems. what a fucking waste of food!!! he could have spit his food out somewhere else and given it to someone who actually NEEDED to eat. there are millions of people out there in the world who would kill for food at all... and here you are throwing perfectly good food out into the bin to rot because you're too precious with your ethics and etc to be thoughtful. ALSO, the animal is already killed. there is no need to try and save it by dun dun dun.. throwing it out. throwing it out isn't going to do shit. fair enough you cannot BEAR the taste of animal so you don't eat it but dramatic measures like the previous is fucking useless and petty. it's just going to create more waste that the 'amazing' planet earth is already trying to get rid of. people are vegans for the wrong reasons. soy is not sustainable. soy comes from plantations in less fortunate areas of the world that are laboured by people under minimum wage, well more like slave labour. same thing with supplements used to replace vitamins that vegans don't get from eating vegan food. do your fucking research you fucking idiots! before you fucking preach to me about this bullshit!
you want to try and save the earth from extinction and total consumption of products??? STOP HAVING FUCKING CHILDREN so the rest of the world that needs to eat can fucking eat instead.
