Very well said.

I've tried several times since I was 13 to become vegetarian but never could due to Crohn's disease. My body can't absorb protein well and while I love legumes I cannot subsist on them alone. My doc just told me 2 days ago at my last appointment to eat more meat and eggs. It's an issue I've wrestled with for years…

I'm so sorry you had this happen to you. I can understand how upsetting that must be. Diabetes runs in my family, so I am really nervous that what you are going through will happen to me too. I need to lose weight though, and stop eating white sugars and flours and all that crap. I was an unhealthy meat eater and I am…

As part of big ag, I can tell you we consider vegans the "fringe". They might be loud, they might be vitrolic, but they aren't the masses and are unlikely to become the masses. It's these same people who try to tell me about chickens injected with hormones (illegal and not happening) or that free range chickens…

Haha. I'm definitely going to start calling it "fizzy wine" now.

That's the norm in Australia. You can have red wine, or white wine, or fizzy wine or beer. If you want a cocktail you can pay for it yourself, you fancy big-city bastard!

If I bring bacon enough for you to recover the bacon you serve me, can I come?

This, this, this. I just don't get it. No one is entitled to a lavish, celebrity-style wedding. If you cannot afford it, don't have it.

I actually think that plenty of people have a fairly good idea about it. At least, most of the omnivores of my acquaintance do. Just like I'm pretty sure most people know that their clothes come from sweatshops. Doesn't change their behaviour.

What the fuck is wrong with people?!?? If you can't afford your lavish, $200/plate wedding without expecting your guests to pay for it, then don't fucking have a lavish, $200/plate wedding, you spoiled, entitled, pathetic brats.

That's how my husband and I are. We don't talk about it unless someone asks us. Even then we don't like to talk about it because it can cause some heavy debate. And like politics and religion, it's not something I like to do when I'm with people socially.

Because then we wouldn't be able to tell people how awesome we are for being _____s!

There is nothing more boring than listening to someone talk about their diet—whatever their diet may be.

I don't understand why voluntary diets have to be so black and white and so strict with labeling. Suppose I am unhappy with supporting the meat industry. Don't I still do a lot of good by reducing my meat consumption by, say, 80%? Or suppose I am a strict vegan. Is all of my good work ruined if I eat one fudge bar?

And you know what? I regret nothing.
