Chances are the fear comes from either past boyfriends/lovers or her current husband going ahead and blowing without warning, so it seems like the best course of action would be to let her know that it's very easy to tell when you're about to deliver your shipment and go through some practice runs.

Yeah, the funny thing is that most "fake meat" products are made to mimic meat that is bottom-of-the-barrel anyway. So it makes sense that the soy alternative would taste better. That said, in the time I've been vegan, meat and eggs have actively started smelling bad to me, so maybe that's why I prefer it?

Which I respect, but it doesn't change the fact that the majority of people in the western world have never "met their meat," as it were and do actively choose products that allow them to disassociate from what they're eating.

That doesn't make sense.

I had the Mandarin Orange, but I skipped the sauce because I'm trying to avoid added sugars. :/

Yep — I was referencing his post a little further on which reads:

A lot of brands actually do make a new wink-y name for the food just to clarify it. Like Gardein's "chick'n," or "beefless beef tips."

I had some Gardein chick'n covered in daiya for lunch.

Exactly. I tried to go alternative-meat-free for a bit, and all of my meals were either mush or liquid. It was not pleasant.

Because that food doesn't look anything like an animal. Shrimp, sure, but other than that? Almost no meat that you consume actually *looks* like the animal it came from. And most meat-eaters go to great lengths to keep their food *from* looking like the animal it came from.

I'm not sure why this is confusing for people. Nothing about a hamburger looks like a cow. So how does that not make the meat-eater the one in denial?

Yep. It's a song about "overcoming" insecurity by body shaming other women. Fuck that.

"Those guys seemed cool. I don't know what happened."

But it's just a phase, so...

You'd think he'd have such a long list of straight women who won't have sex with him that he wouldn't need to bother with lesbians who have no interest by default.

Who's willing to bet that he misunderstood the central premise of American History X?

But being fat is such a boner killer. What's a girl to do?

I'm sure it's under the banner of "freedom of speech."
