What Vegans Look Like

I have this great idea….that no one will adopt.

When a vegan complains about other vegans you shouldn’t reblog complaining about “policing others’ life styles” because there is a definition to the word ‘vegan’ so people CAN be doing it wrong.

When a vegan complains about non-vegans on their own tumblr you shouldn’t reblog complaining about “policing others’ life styles” because the purpose of the blog post is more than likely to vent about things to a community of like-minded people. Sometimes you need to preach to the choir so you can get things off your chest.

Every minority and niche has this problem. There is the way you talk around people that share your same views; and there is the way you talk around people that you know aren’t part of your group or cause. It’s like knowing that in a public setting you don’t go around cursing up a storm. But if I’m sitting at home with some friends and saying “fuck” every other word, then you aren’t allowed to come up to my window and say “stop it! my delicate virgin ears can’t handle such profanity!”

STOP THAT!!
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG

Amen to that

I’m so vegan I’m going to start calling my partner agave.

I was watching Girls last night and I noticed a scene that irked me. After my girlfriend got a chance to watch it I was happy to know it annoyed her as much as it did me and I wasn’t alone on this. I think what upset me the most is that the scene was pretty much a throw away scene. They could’ve filled this scene with any dialogue they wanted, but they went with this:

Eric: Is it okay that I took you to a pizza place?

Hannah: Yeah. I love pizza. I love pepperoni, which I haven’t eaten in ages because I was a vegetarian until two months ago.

Eric: What? Why? What happened?

Hannah: …Basically, I was dating this guy…and I went over to his house one day and I was starving and he had nothing to eat. Just nothing. Except for some raw meat which his uncle had caught, killed, and sent him in the mail. So my options were to eat that or go out and get some food, and I was sure that if I went out and came back he, like, wouldn’t answer the buzzer or he would’ve just disappeared. So, uhh, he cooked it; I ate it. And I swear to you I felt myself growing stronger with every bite.

Eric: Yeah, it’s protein. Your body needed protein.

Hannah: It was like the roses came back to my cheeks. Seriously. And I had this revelation which was, like, I should be eating meat and I should not be dating this person.

As my girlfriend pointed out, if this conversation was about her being vegan (which seems to me something you’d actually bring up on a date) then people would be screaming that it’s vegan propaganda.

Side note: I enjoy the show, but that doesn’t mean I can’t complain to the people that I think would understand my complaint. sigh
