The “it’s just jealousy” part irks me.

Oh, I agree with you completely. I have just as much judgment reserved for the kinds of people who feed their kids nothing but processed garbage. There’s something about clueless vegan parents, though, that kind of overlaps with anti-vaxxers—it’s that “I know what’s best for my child” kind of attitude where education…

I also tend to lean vegetarian. But healthy vegetarianism is a hell of a lot easier than healthy veganism. Plenty of vegans really know what they’re doing, but there are also a whole lot of them who really don’t know what they’re doing, and there’s a lot less room for error when you’re responsible for the wellbeing of…

You can’t. Vegan children often don’t have enough fat in their diets and/or are vitamin deficient. I live in an area with a lot of vegans and my pediatrition’s office has signs and pamphlets aimed at those (very well intentioned) parents about how much fat kids need and the nutrients you can’t get from plants. I am…

Italy had a few cases of parents starving babies to death with veganism, this “law” is probably a knee jerk reaction to that.
Seems to me like they should have made a better job of explaining what they mean by it , but the internet seems fully latched onto the piece of news now as a “joke-newspiece”

Absolutely. For growing children, many of the effects of malnourishment are lifelong deficits.

I have a small person and she consumes an astonishing amount of fat to grow that little brain of hers. Also, she NEVER STOPS MOVING, so pound for pound, she requires a ton of calories. I have no doubt you could raise a healthy kid on a vegan diet, but I’m exceedingly grateful that I can turn to cheese, yogurt, and…

The real problem is when they do this with their babies and toddlers. Almond milk is not a complete diet.

This law sorta seems like bullshit, but I do raise an eyebrow a little at the idea of raising kids vegan. Vegetarian, sure, whatever, I’m all for it. (I try to err on the vegetarian side myself, anyway.) But it’s a hell of a lot harder to get all the necessary nutrients with a vegan diet, and unless parents REALLY…

This is an oddly erotic gif. I can’t be the only one who thinks this right?

Do you eat meat? That so sad. I have an informative pamphlet you should read about plant based diets. It will change your life. /s

Actually, the stock image name is far more entertaining:

That’s a bit extreme but I’ll be okay with a law that bans Vegans from condescendingly telling me why they think they’re better than me.

I also was mortified at my meeting w/ Stephen Colbert. *bumps fist*

You know my pain, then.

I had an uncle who tried doors. He would try every doorknob in whatever place he was in, just to see if it would open and what might be on the other side. He did this once at the House of Commons in Ottawa, a place you should definitely not be trying doors.

I’m an adult with two settings:

On a similar subject, why do people feel compelled to take photos of really famous art? I went to Versailles and whole tour buses spent their visit looking at everything through their cell phones and iPads. It’s famous art, there are books with high quality images in it! The Internet has pictures! You’re missing the…

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but my first trip to the local art museum was at age 11. Mom sat me down and gave me a lecture about not touching the art, which I rolled my eyes through because obviously!
