This is gross, but an actual term that shitheads use for gay men is “soy boy,” based on the (1) perceived penchant for vegetarianism, and (2) the presence of estrogen in soy.

I went to the Iowa State Fair once when I was a vegan. I thought I was going to pass out from hunger. I subsisted on slo-cones all day. Our fair’s claims to fame are the butter cow and everything deep fried on a stick (including butter and these ginormous and delicious pork chops). In Iowa City, Des Moines, and…

I’m actually pretty surprised that his veganism hasn’t really come up in any discussions of his electability. I’ve always thought it would be his biggest hurdle. Don’t presidential candidates have to go to state fairs and eat fried butter and what not? Can you imagine him campaigning in various small town diners and…

lol you are absurd.

That he is a vegan most certainly plays into the “gay” rumors. Some people really think like that.

Ok, so you’ve got another year and a half before this has any relevance. It actually is primary season now. 

I mean, I get your point, but also my mother is diabetic and it breaks my fucking heart that she is apparently going to eat/not exercise herself into an early grave.

I knew he was vegan but admittedly haven’t looked into it much. I think it would be less of an issue if he passed off his veganism as purely a health thing than an anti-meat industry kind of thing. It’s a little silly that this would bring on controversy, but I believe you when you say people in certain…

Yes it’s ridiculous to use a celebrity who hasn’t struggled with their weight in any significant way to be the face of weight watchers, but is it really more ridiculous than using a celebrity in general for this? Most people who are even able to lose weight by dieting, gain weight because they don’t have time to cook,…

My God how I hated Glee, they bleach every single song.  In this piece they even bleached the dancers.... 

Republicans getting elected because the left is too busy eating its own to realize there will never be a perfect candidate and that you can’t actually achieve any change at all if you can’t get anyone elected.

Weight Watchers hasn’t been about frozen food in many years. Their plans for the past few years have many many whole foods zero points, like fruits and veggies, and lean proteins as of a year ago, to encourage people to eat them. Do they still have a few items in the frozen food aisle? Probably (not even sure), but…

Are you going to make this tiresome comment for the next year and a half? It’s a primary, if we’re going to pick one out of twenty candidates we’re going to have to judge them!

Is Kate Hudson also going to demonstrate how to utilize professional chefs, trainers, and nutritionists to buy extremely healthy and expensive food and who can develop and cook healthy recipes for you while using an extensive home gym while all your kids are being taken care of either at school or by nannies?

Lots of people make jokes about him being gay.

Wait...am I missing something here?

“More progressive” to whom? It’s worse to be a woman in America now than any other time in my adult life. The fatal idealism of those on the left who administer purity tests to centrist Democrats will be the fucking death of us all.

Real question: has Kate Hudson ever struggled with her weight? I mean, not that I think it is appropriate to dissect every single thing about a celebrity, but I was not aware she had ever been overweight.  If that’s true, why would she be a spokesperson for a weight loss program?  So confused. 

As long as he doesn’t produce a slick video proving his heterosexuality (a la Warren’s native ancestry) I’m fine.

This is sad but I think a big thing is that he is vegan. That will not play well in my home state of Iowa, where when people discovered that I was vegan during my brief stint sans animal products they’d recoil in horror and blame the fact that I had lived in California for a brief amount of time and then tell me all…
