<The other day, I ordered a veggie burger in a Dartmouth mall food court.
Now, the vegetarians have kicked up such a fuss, that there’s now (thank god) a new veggie burger in town.
However, after placing my order, the lady tells me that the burger’s cooked in the same oil as the chicken.
..Hold the fuck up. The veggie burger which –after years of saying they’d never make– is cooked in the used oil?
This leaves me asking myself this: why the fuck would you do it, if you can’t even do it right?
This article appears in Nov 13-19, 2008.
For fucks sakes, if you’re so damn picky about your food than a mall food court would be the first place to avoid.
I thought a response to that would be pretty asshol-ic, however, you raise a good point Viego. A mall food court is a pretty bad spot for food of any quality (unless you are ordering Ray’s of course).
If I was a vegan I would be angry ALL the time. I would be so pissed that I didn’t eat delicious foods like steak, and hamburgers and bacon. Instead I would begin the day with tofu cubes covered in soy milk, graduate to broccoli and tofu for lunch and then finish up with baked tofu and carrots for dinner. Weak, pale and sickly, I would put myself to bed and wish that I ate delicious meaty products which would increase my vitality and brainpower. During the weekends I would haunt the shopping malls, consumed by malnutrition blearily wishing I could eat a Papa Burger and curly fries all washed down with a cherry coke.Good thing I am not. Vegans are jerks anyway. What kind of a world do we live in where people *choose* not to eat certain things! Explain your “lifestyle” to someone who has nothing to eat, and it would make less sense to them as it does to me. Veganism. Nonsense, more like it!
My stringy greens are lean and mean, make me green with tofu cream. Lather my buds with potato spuds, delight my sight with eggplant might, for I am vegan, above white meat; I’ll pave the way for all my breed, and boast my lead by way I feed.
Your stringy beans may give you carotene but lack in the basic necessary protein;omega 3’s are not found in trees, but in the soft tissues of sea-going fishies.A diet based entirely on greens and grains is nutritionally lacking, so on pemmican and jerky is what you should be snacking.Enjoy a steak! Enjoy a burger! For it will make your muscles harder and your brain far smarter…For we are omnivores, if you could only stop to see; come and lets make vegetarianism history!

Sounds like someone hasn’t heard of something called the Food Chain. See image below:http://www.geocities.com/simpsovegan/s7/3f03/3f03w.jpgMy friend here is a ‘Grade A’ moron!
Mmmmm…. now I want a roast chicken pita from Rays.
Why are you eating at a fast food restaurant? They serve crap… I’m also vegan, have been for almost 5 years now….And I have to say I was afraid of being made fun of when I became vegan, but then I realized that you have to do what feels right for your body, and if your body is saying go vegan, then you should do it. I dont like how people wrote back things like eat a steak, etc, which i hear all the time. Meat culture is everywhere and vegans hear enough about it, so vegans have the right to voice themselves-they will never overpower you so you have nothing to prove really by saying “eat a steak”Its a lifestyle choice.so good for you for complaining, but I would try packing a lunch instead of going to fast food places….

I dont like how people wrote back things like eat a steak, etc. He wasnt telling you not to eat meat. He was saying that vegan food isnt very accessible in this city. Why are some meat eaters so defensive about their habits? It doesnt make sense to me. the world is a wide place with wide viewpoints so please people lets not be so narrow minded to other people. I can respect you even though you eat meat, so please…. be a bit more understanding instead of defensive. That’s all I ask.so good for you for complaining, but I would reccomend not even supporting those places in the first place
ah fuck i posted the same thing twice. it must be because I “only eat vegetables”
I know some Vegan’s who can be a little over aggresive on pushing their lifestyles. I will say I know a lot of people who have gone vegan and their bodies have responded very well to it, they are leading a much better life now because of it. I need my protein (plus love meat) so I’ll never go all the way, however, I am trying to incorporate some vegan meals into my lifestyle.
Never trust a vegan. Especially male vegans.
Actually, Optimus Prime Rib, omega-3 fatty acids come from flax seed too, a plant, and in much higher quantities. Eggs also can have lots of omega-3’s, if the chickens are feed omega-3’s themselves (flax, etc.). So vegans and vegetarians can be healthy too.But I have to agree – vegan options at the mall is never a sure bet.
Sorry Lemon, nutrition fail. The quantity of flax you have to eat are too great to have any effect on the amount of Omega-3’s that can be usefully synthesized. Plus flax seeds are extremely high in fat, so as you eat your spoonfuls of flax seeds and actually get *less* healthy, I can have a single fillet of fish (obviously fresh, not McDonalds) and get more nutrition, fatty acid, protein, vitamin D, etc without the stomach ache.Sure sure, you can get flax seed oils and pills, but think about how much flax seed goes into making that oil. BTW eggs and chickens are in the domain of carnivorism, so if you are eating those, then you might as well eat cows and fish and goats and pigs and turkeys and sheeps and maybe even the odd hare.Also its not like I don’t eat flax oil and flax bread or have flax seeds on my salad. Vegetarians turn me into a snarling monster that only eats near-raw red meat, just because I advocate meat-eating, and I tell them its healthy to do so. I get the benefits of both a vegetarian diet AND a carnivorous diet. Omnivorism just makes sense.
