Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Comedians had this figured out ages ago. This is still one of my favorite YouTube videos – If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegetarians.

LC you have the right idea, good stuff…
This is from one of the best:

A balanced diet and moderation is a good thing. A little bit of laughter helps too.
Ha, but I’m sure Lucille Ball offends some ultra-woke puritan. If “baby, it’s cold outside” does then none of the classics are safe. “The Chair” by George Strait might be next on the #I’m so Offended by Old Movies, Books and Music Hit List
LC
George Strait, ” The Chair” you say?
Whew…!
Nah! No link from me, I burnt myself!
Now for the topic du Jour: yes, now… as for the healthy vegan, forget beans and make sure your food is not too hot.
Heh, heh, heh!
Yeow!
Ow!
Ouch!
Aarrr!
there was a country song that had the line ,( here’s a quarter, call someone who cares.) pretty much where I am these days.
At least two scoops of laughter
I don’t suspect vegetarians go bat shit crazy from not eating meat. I do suspect that bat shit crazy people become vegetarians. It’s a way for worthless people who otherwise have no reason to live to feel self-important. I think I got that right.
Scar nails it.
The misery and self hatred come before the poor diet choices.
And they fart a lot from eating all those beans.
Vegetarianism is also a good cover for people with eating disorders.
So, either vegetarians are prone to depression or depressed people are prone to become vegetarians.
I find that most vegans are leftist. That’s why they are so miserable not their diet.
I can never find the actual citation. It might have been from one of Orwell’s letters, or his “As I Please” columns, but he weighed in over 50 years on the problems with female socialists. This is the gist of what he said:
They (the women) can’t come into the party without trying to assert their peculiar morality. No smoking! No drinking! This to men whose pint and a fag on Saturday night are some of the few pleasures of life. Veganism! No dancing! No cinema! Why do they insist we all follow their dull and dreary ways?
Because misery loves company, I’d say. And if it can, requires it.
That’s exactly how women rewarded men for giving them the vote. They promptly campaigned and voted for the 18th amendment.
Vegetarians may well be miserable scolds, but they are nowhere near as miserable and scold-y as another leftist group: environmentalist activists. Take this clown, for example:
“Looking at a rapidly warming world (remember that 12-year time limit?) we should be debating what parts of our lifestyle — and our society — should be changed, surrendered or eliminated altogether if we want to survive.
However long your list might be, chances are “getting rid of professional sports” will not be found there, even though it should be. ”

Speaking from experience there are 3 stages of vegetarian.
Stage 1: Usually prompted by a desire to eat clean, maybe lose a few pounds, but an active decision to take better care of oneself. Stage One people are noted by their mostly vegetarian diet, a little bit of cheating, moving toward yogurt, fresh berries, no meat, eggs for protein and no processed foods.
Stage 2: The information stage. Vegetarian turning toward vegan. Learning about how animals are kept on factory farms. Constant reading of the food labels. Shock and surprise at what is in our food – like corn syrup and soy protein. Dropping of any animal food including milk, cheese, eggs etc. Very interested in discussing things like our food supply, eating food grown within 150 km etc. “Did you know how much protein there is in spinach?”.
Stage 3: Full-on bat-shit-crazy vegan. Religious devotion to eating only plant-based foods. High moral ground. If you happen to be eating chicken … “did you know that your chicken has never seen the sun” and so on. Your basement starts to look like a grow-up only with lettuce, kale, basil and micro-tomatoes. No alcohol. The body is a temple.
The nice thing about a stage 3 vegan is 24/7 fresh veggies. Your strawberries and blue berries are stored in glass bottles in the fridge. You have an amazing garden, which is a great place to hide when you’re drinking beer. You learn how to talk to your plants, to can vegetables, freeze herbs.
In some ways vegans are the trail brazers. Look at the food we eat. Crap in a box. People don’t cook anymore. Almost nobody cans vegetables anymore. Vegans drive people toward the truth about food and it isn’t pretty, especially for people in the city.
“Full-on bat-shit-crazy vegan. Religious devotion to eating only plant-based foods. High moral ground. ”
Vegetarians are not on moral high ground. Almost all animals eat other living things, either plants or other animals. Very few plants live off other living things. Vegetarians kill (or have others kill for them) innocent living things so they can eat them. I eat animals that eat other living things, (and I tend to do the killing myself, making no pretense about my place in the food chain.)

Well, the thing about alfalfa munchers is that there doesn’t seem to be any in-between: they’re either hey-man-everything’s-cool-you-do-your-thing-I’ll (puff puff puff) do mine, or they’re shrill, preachy, inside-ugly characters.
It’s the latter type that seek and get the press.
Good one – reminds me of the recipe for a
Honeymoon Salad : lettuce alone
vegetarianism or veganism or wtfism is POLITICAL, not dietary.
jeezuz murphy, they wont even eat cheese . . .
I recommend the following charming paper from 1976:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwidpef5l5nfAhXKeisKHUjTAHgQFjAAegQIBRAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Freasonpapers.com%2Fpdf%2F03%2Frp_3_2.pdf&usg=AOvVaw0kY_iy9G3VSbTV9IvuZiTq
It is entitled “A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism”.
Enjoy.
Haha I first mis-read that as “A critique of moral vegetables”
I kind of think scar has it at 3:25. They are miserable scolds because they lead miserable lives and want to make everyone else miserable, just like leftists in general.
Lets face it, leftists of all sort just plain hate humanity.
Their weighty moral superiority causes their souls to droop
Definitely wouldn’t approve of Baxter Black’s “The Vegetarian’s Nightmare”
Niagara restaurant trolls vegans… 🙂
