To my dear vegan friends

I love you– I really do. But we need to get a few things straight:

My dogs will never be vegetarians. I appreciate your sentiment about my animals eating other animals, but they were designed to eat other animals so I’m not going interfere. Besides Greta’s bowels do bad things when she manages to get a single corn chip, and as much as she loves a nice raw head of cabbage last time she got at one the neighbors called the city suspecting that we had a corpse rotting in our backyard.

Actually, rotting corpse would have been an improvement. CSI wouldn’t have scooped that poop. Lawrence Fishburne’s character would have been all “F–k this, I quit.” and then he would have stormed off, the rest of the episode would be the other characters trying to figure out who stepped in what and where did Lawrence Fishburne go?

Bacon grease is an essential ingredient in blueberry muffins. It makes them last longer, taste better, and its cheaper than coconut oil which frankly does a 2nd rate job. I will make you any other type of muffin, even the cranberry ones, completely vegan if you like but I draw the line at my blueberry muffin recipe.

Tofu is awesome, stop pretending that its a meat replacement and accept it as tofu. I will defile neither tofu nor my meatloaf recipe attempting to appease your perverse appetite that craves both moral superiority and down home good cooking at the same time.

Justify it all you like, if you are vegan and don’t eat beans and bean products you are a crappy (and likely malnourished) vegan, pastatarians don’t count. Fake chicken nuggets and egg free ramen do NOT have enough protein to keep your brain functioning, which is probably why you feel like crap and don’t have the mental acuity to calculate exactly how much protein you need to eat each day.

Finally, I’ll happily make as many vegan portions for dinner as there are vegans, which tends to include enough for seconds if you like and a bit extra for the omnivores to sample if they like. Do NOT pout because you don’t feel included or because you think I’m trying to single you out somehow by not offering you meat products that I know you will make a big deal out of not eating– that attitude just makes you come off as a permanent window licker on the short bus of life, its just rude.

I thought that was it, but I have one more: Under no circumstances are you EVER to claim to be a strict vegan with “soy sensitivities” and expect me to cater to your bizarre dietary claims with anything other than a good stout bowl of oatmeal and a look of piercing disdain mixed with a pinch of distrust.

  1. LOL!!! Yeah, it’s their moral superiority that gets to me.

  2. I have no idea what caused the rant, but I’m so glad to see you back! I missed you!!!

    Love the window licker on the bus comment. That was a riot, I’m going to be thinking about that for the rest of the day.

  3. hm, lot of stories here. I love this indeed! Thanks for sharing with me.

  4. ha, ha, ha. There are so many comments I’d like to make, but won’t lest the people who inspired them ever stumble upon it. Or someone who THINKS they’re that person but isn’t. But can I just say- “THIS.”

  5. Jeez, you hit the nail on the head! I wish I could post something like that if it wouldn’t completely ruin friendships for me.

    Also, there is NO replacement for iron, at least not enough to maintain a healthy lifestyle for these folks! Iron supplements just go straight to pee, just like the other fancy vitamins they have to take.
