go look up all those E numbers. integers europe has assigned to chemicals it deems acceptable to dump into everything onto the grocery store shelves. i first hit on this after seeing some shit con weight loss drug ad for the 9th time and saying: the fuck is in that, anyways? i look it up, and it's an emulsifier, with an E code. "oh," i say, "it's half of a mcdonalds cheeseberger and 95% of all the tofu shit that simulates meat."

my sister was a vegan for a few years before coming to her senses. in that time, i witnessed what can only be described as inhumane crimes against food. tofurky? sis, that smells like microwave plastic, did you take the wrapper off? are you sure? no, i'm not giving you grief. i'm not kidding. that smells like plastic
and that was the moment the penny dropped for me. a lot of vegans spout all this purism crap and then go to the store and buy something that's completely unnatural and artificial. an april fool's version of whatever it's attempting to replace, but people don't realize it's a joke, and eat it, and congratulate themselves on living a healthy and pure lifestyle. meanwhile, humans have been eating meat for thousands of years, and let me tell you, it's fucking tasty.

then there's interacting with vegans vs. arguing about going vegan. if i'm having a vegan over for dinner i do a tofu stir-fry with no plastic food and won't give them any shit. unless they flat-out ask my opinion, anyways.... what i also learned from my sister's spat with it is that if you press it, you won't get nowhere. "but what about the animals," she'd ask, and i'm all "um, err... they're pretty tasty?" then she'd say "white sugar uses animal bones" or something and i'd say "whatever, it beats eating plastic." then she's all "at least i'm not a murderer" and at this point both of us are enjoying ourselves but not really convincing either of anything.
