this does perpetuate the idea that it’s the path to success

Yeah, that’s probably true. As just a year older than Kendrick, I probably don’t realize how old I’m getting. Part of the Bilson thing is probably also that I associate her with the O.C. because I haven’t seen her in much since.

What is this article even about?

Sounds like the same kind of fun banter or back-and-forth I’d have with my friends, without anyone being a jerk and everyone in on the joke. Whole lot of nothing being played for minimal chuckles and clicks.

That article doesn’t say demand is slacking, it only says short term growth is slow amid Covid while long term growth is projected to be strong. It cites as examples of the immediate slowing of growth things like Beyond’s stock price falling due to sales not increasing as much as projected.

ME!  This is ME!  I’ve been veg since 1998, and I feel as though this must be how Vikings feel when they get to Valhalla. GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE. 

My wife is a great cook. She got COVID 1 year ago and it totally jacked with her taste buds. Anything with meat (besides fish) tastes like you have a mouth full of quarters. Certain other protein-y things do this at well (most nuts).

Not everyone who is vegetarian / vegan is militant about it (although, at times it sure seems that way).

friends who are vegetarian for ethical reasons are fine with eating meatless products cooked on/in the same surface as meat.

These products are designed for someone like me. I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I still have concerns about both the morality (from an animal welfare perspective) and the environmental impact of factory farming practices... so while I do eat meat, I can also go for days at a time without having it even once,…

I mean, system-wide change takes time, right? All the Takeout’s stories on this product stressed how long it took to go from planning to the actual menu. If veggie-based meat products keep growing in popularity in grocery stores, if more and more people go vegetarian, etc., eventually, fast-food places will devote one…

In terms of who this is for, several of my friends who are vegetarian for ethical reasons are fine with eating meatless products cooked on/in the same surface as meat. Unless you’re super strict about it (and yes, many vegetarians/vegans are) it’s not an issue. And, anecdotally, these folks are super stoked to eat KFC…

Yes, all. There should be no place for that kind of inflexibility in a justice system.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

*Except of course for the fact that Alex survives through the beginning of book 7 as the character was killed off in the show because the actor was fired and they didn’t want to recast the character.

you get out of the grays for a helpful comment

You sure you know the difference between vegetarian and vegan? I’ve never been to one that would be able to serve a vegan meal.
