Evan! said:You lost me at "vegan". Goddamned hippies.
Oh, and the other problem is that those "bushes" look pretty trimmed---but you know there's nary a vegan on this planet that isn't also a hairy-legged hippy...so I'm not sure those vegans would know what they're looking at
david_42 said:It really isn't all that big a deal to eat vegan, although it helps if you really like to cook. Most TexMex can be made vegan, ditto Italian, most Indian food is already vegan. Even eating out, unless you go to an all-American steak house, there are vegan options. There's a lot of noise about balanced protein & such, but B12 is the biggest worry, followed by iron. A homebrew a day covers both.

c.n.budz said:I have a couple vegan friends and their biggest problem with eating out isn't finding a dish that has no animal products in it, it's finding a restaurant that has a vegan friendly kitchen, i.e, separate pots, pans, utensils that are never used for non-vegan food.
g_rath said:Ok now that is taking it to the unnecessary extreme. And they are just making it hard or them selves and being a pain in the ass for every one else. What exactly do they think is going to transfer over to there food? They know utensils get washed or at the very least rinsed. You can’t have flavors crossing dishes anyway.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but you have touched a nerve with this kind of food pickiness. And I must state that I have no problem with vegetarians my SWMBO is one, and I cook for her all the time.
g_rath said:At least kosher has a religious meaning behind it. What does that have, the "I want to be special by being a PITA" effect?
If there is a vegan out there that can explain this to me/us please do. I really do want to know if there is a logical reason for it. “I just don’t want it to touch my stuff” doesn’t cut it.

c.n.budz said:An analogy that my friends used was "Using the same knife that just cut up meat to cut our vegetables is no different to us than having our food prepared with a murder weapon."
EdWort said:Yes, but what do they have to say about the screams from the vegetables that are yanked from their homes, thrown on a truck with others, only to be hosed down with cold water before being chopped, sliced, pureed, and dropped in boiling water only to be consumed by omnivores.
That sounds pretty immoral to me.
Yuri_Rage said:This may sound a bit strange, but hear me out. I put vegans and gay people in the same category. I DON'T CARE!
I'm not willing to provide an audience to your little attention getting scheme.

mmm sounds good.MULE said:Darn if I don't want a T-bone steak right now.......
mmmm..... extra protein!!Germey said:Research shows that we all eat many insects unknowingly every year.
Do the spiders count any less?
(ok, it's not true about accidentally eating spiders in our sleep, but if they eat any vaguely processed food at all, there is some insect in there, and maybe a rodent bit or two.)

EdWort said:OK, but what about gay vegans?
c.n.budz said:Most vegans are this way due to moral objections to animals being harmed in any way, shape, or form. To them it might as well be religious.

Must be all that excess testosterone!
go have an imperial IPA and balance it with some estrogen...
Brewing Clamper said:Yeah, I'm curious about this, what about getting french fries from a restaurant? They fry them in the same oil as the fish, shrimp, buffalo wings. Having cooked in restaurants I know many "vegetarian or vegan" dished got prepared with butter, the rice was cooked with chicken broth, etc. Many cosmetics are made from recycled grease which includes tons of animal fats. I'm not at all trying to mock here, I'm just curious where the line is drawn.

we hate and do not tolerate murder... Is that such a bad thing? As far as fear, I fear little outside an angry mob of stupid people (commonly known as the Government)
