      1. 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

        1. 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!

        2. there was a country song that had the line ,( here’s a quarter, call someone who cares.) pretty much where I am these days.

  1. 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.

  2. So, either vegetarians are prone to depression or depressed people are prone to become vegetarians.

  3. 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?

    1. That’s exactly how women rewarded men for giving them the vote. They promptly campaigned and voted for the 18th amendment.

  4. 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. ”

  5. 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.

    1. “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.)

  6. 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.

  7. vegetarianism or veganism or wtfism is POLITICAL, not dietary.
    jeezuz murphy, they wont even eat cheese . . .

  8. 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.
