I think the biggest thing to take away from this is people are idiots. Good on you for losing weight, any way possible. Good luck!

I never said it wasn't difficult and I even enjoy the occasional NASCAR race. Still funny though.

Oh look, it's another left turn

Dit is Amerikaans gewapend beton neem ik aan?

Is that a new accessibility feature? Listening to Mastodon?

This feels like a scam to get me deported

Oh yes that is a real issue. It is hard sometimes to get a good vegan/vegetarian meal. I just want something original, not another goat cheese salad or a burger.

While I agree that there is much more to vegan than just meat replacements, and personally I don't care what they call it. There are a couple of arguments for recreating meat:

1. It sells. And in this world: if it sells, people will keep making it.
2. Being vegetarian, vegan or someone who wants to cut back on their meat eating, doesn't mean that they don't like the taste and feel of meat. Some might do it for the environment or animal suffering. But they still like that meat taste and want a replacement.
3. One does not exclude the other: you can have both meat replacements and non meat looking vegan stuff. Which there are BTW
4. Its funny: especially the vegetarian butcher has some clever wordplays
5. Live and let live I guess
