This person is comparing telling a racist to shut up and a vegan telling a meat eater that their diet is offensive. So you've missed the point here.

Ooh ooh me me - I don't want to hear how you only eat organic/humanely raised/homekill. I am fucking EATING.
Can we KIBBLE over the ingredients? ......lol
And if we can pour milk (soy/almond/cow, whatevs) on it and eat it like cereal? All the better.
If the mum/child is vegetarian, why is he being presented with octopus gnocchi?
I just think it's hilarious that you would accuse someone of pseudoscience whilst also basing your prejudice of a wide and varied group of people on one very small and non-randomised sample of people you have served in one particular restaurant. You don't know the dietary habits of every (sexy) person you pass on the…
So sick of anti-vegan (or rather, anti "preachy"vegan) sentiments on Jezebel. You know who else can be really damn preachy? Feminists. And I'm GLAD they are because I have LEARNED SOMETHING from feminists like that, and now I identify as feminist myself. So next time you're closing your mind to the words of a vegan…
It was the "conspiracies and pseudoscience" I was responding to, not your point made in reference to the headline. Again, you think all vegans are one hive mind, wearing tinfoil hats. You make an assumption about a person based on the kind of personal choices they make re: ethics.
The fact that you think you know "what kind of guy goes vegan" makes me laugh. I meet lots of vegan dudes who are all very different and as my original comment is trying to say - there isn't just one "type" of person who goes vegan. There are all ages, colours, sizes and "types" and I don't think that being vegan…
I am 1/32 Maori - the point at which it "doesn't count any more" and no one would ever think it to look at me. I think we are lucky in NZ as a country of immigrants that so many of us have rich and complex ancestries. Everyone seems to have a bit of something which probably makes us more interesting and more accepting.
So sweet I think I just got Type II diabetes.
More information is better than less. For example I'd love to see "Palm oil" or better yet "sustainable palm oil" on packaging instead of the ubiquitous "vegetable oil" which can mean any bloody thing.
As a science minded vegan I totally resent this - as well as the assumption that vegan is somehow synonymous with any number of anti-GMO, gluten free, anti-vaccine, "natural is better" type groupthoughts. There is plenty of real, evidence-based environmental and animal welfare science to back up being vegan. GMOs are…
I would share a picture of my vegan sexy dude, but there would be no point as he is Taken with a Captital T. And how do you KNOW you haven't seen a sexy vegan? Not all of us walk around in hemp pants with a bird nest in our hair.
As I type this, Billy is voicing Futurama's Fry on the TV. Oh and professor Farnsworth as well. I'm sure the red M&M will be on in the ad break. He is such a fucking LEGEND.
Until the Wii version of Twilight Princess, that is...
Now this is a squee. Doug, take notes.
Actually the wing cap is terrible in theory. How does it stick to his head and not just fly off on its own?
I agree - and I'm the kind of person who complains about a seemingly harmless video of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel because their breeding is so fucked up. My complaints are falling on deaf ears because if anything these squees are getting worse, not better.
Just to clarify (as a total behaviour nerd) that "negative reinforcement" is a training technique that involves taking something away from the animal (that's where negative comes in) in order to get it to perform a behaviour more frequently (that's where the reinforcement bit comes in). What you're talking about (i.e.…
