  • One of my best friends is a vegan, married to a vegan, and raising two kids who are chegans (like, mostly they’re vegan, and sometimes they eat some chicken nuggets at Grandma’s). Through him, I have met dozens of vegans. The most I’ve ever heard a vegan “go on” about veganism is if they’re specifically asked about it. Occasionally, you’ll hear them bring it up in discussions around related things (like if you’re talking about climate change, they may mention that animal farming is a massive contributor, or something to that effect). But mostly, it’s just a diet and they do their own diet thing.

    The real issue is when someone asks “hey, wanna go to x restaurant tonight?” And they reply “lemme check the menu and make sure I can!” And then the person who originally asked the question wants to pretend like they’re Christ on the cross because they’re being so put out by the audacity of this filthy hippy to want to eat somewhere they can actually eat, instead of just sitting there and drinking water while everyone else eats.





  • That’s fair. I would love to be turned into a lemon tree, too. It’s my favorite food. Haha. I’m hoping I don’t have to live through losing the rest of my family, but I’m 10 years younger than the second youngest member of my family. I don’t know if there will be anyone to bring peace to by the time I go. Lemon tree would be cool, but if I can be used to teach to doctors or to somehow save lives, that would be amazing
