When are we just going tell vegans to fcuk right off?

[voice]

Yeah, rather famously (well among health wonks) is back during a famine and recession in the mid 19th C a region in Wales that grew predominantly carrots and where due to poverty and unemployment moat of the population were existing almost solely on carrots, a visiting London physician described the populace as being orange and at first he thought something terrible was infecting them, but realized it was the diet Turing them orange

Couldn't read all of that without falling asleep, but...

It did remind me of Mango, who used to post here. She had a rant at me when I said some relatives and friends had returned from vegan/vegetarian to a diet including some meat. Apparently, I was pretty much Satan for saying such a thing. Proper militant vegan, she was.

I remember her. She was Aussie fantastical about animal rights yet very disparaging about Chinese people.

Very typically vegan I found that.

Or rather very typical of White Veganism. You see less of this militancy in cultures that are just historically vegan (such as with Hindus etc.)

I think that's slightly false. I know one or two vegans who aren't extremists.

As a sort of aside, a friend has started dating a vegan. Two things of note - first, his skin (and hers) now has a weird orangey pallor that screams of weird nutrition. Second, we met up with them at a restaurant run by seventh day adventists. I didn't know until then that seventh day adventists are vegans. The actual vegan food was surprisingly good. The "meat substitutes" were unsurprisingly awful. The looniest thing, though, is that they also ban coffee, or even mention of coffee, yet have fancy coffee and espresso machines for making coffees out of mushrooms that have no caffeine in them. I did not try one, and went to Starbucks next door to cleanse my soul by shoving cash into the maw of an exploitative monopolistic multinational corporation.

Seventh Day Adventists aren’t vegans. I mean some maybe but it’s not part of the faith.

I understand that Three Day Eventers eat only Hay.

Where's white rum?

I think they advocate a plant-based diet, but don’t require it. A quick online search suggests that about half of them are vegans. Not because they give a sh*t about animals, but because they think it makes them healthier and being healthier helps them serve god better. Same reason they don’t do booze or caffeine. A 19th century puritan attitude to bodily health.

I have known loads who did not eat pork but most 7th Day Adventists I ever met ate meat.

Stay where you are then if you don't want to be on the menu.

Veganism, dangerous extremists, I mean who the fcuk kills their own kid due to a stupid dietary obsession.

Narcissistic b!tch, hope she serves the entire sentence.

A woman convicted of murder in the malnutrition death of her young son was sentenced Monday to life in prison.

Sheila O’Leary, 38, whose family followed a strict vegan diet, was convicted in June on six charges — first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, child abuse and two counts of child neglect — in the death of Ezra O’Leary.

Wan cunts.

Murderers. Even if no vegans were directly involved.

"A mother-of-five who died from an allergic reaction after eating a vegan £3.75 Pret sandwich collapsed in a busy street and died in hospital before her husband could get there, an inquest has heard.

Celia Marsh, 42, suffered a fatal anaphylactic reaction after eating a 'super-veg rainbow flatbread' during a family meal at a Pret A Manger store in Bath, Somerset, in December 2017."

Now if only she'd had a ham and cheese butty with Branson pickle she'd be alive today...

[mids]

Awful thing though. It must be horrible to die like that.

[voice]

Yeah, never seen it, but your throat closes up and you die struggling to get one last breath. Awful really

[mids]

I suppose the pillow blocks your view.
