This guy is basically my dad 😢

I'm pretty pro-vegan, but this comic is also pretty lame.
It's not a great comic, but closer to reality that you might think. My family consists of die hard meat eaters. On my dads birthday he made all kinds of meat and sour kraut. It was honestly kind of gross, it was just copious amounts, the whole thing looked so lifeless and weird. One of his friends was like: har har har, good thing there aren't any vegans here, while eating boiled bacon. Followed by someone saying: we'll eat so much meat that they are vegans for nothing har har har.
I don't know, i guess that's very funny, but i just don't get it.
yeah. i bet you are also not rascist, but... 🤣
lol, quite a few triggered "pro-vegans" we have here, don't we? or are they "definitely not rascist"? 🤔 😆
With beans!!
Oh my god I was on a train coming into the country and they asked everyone of course if they had any produce/fresh fruit or veg. These boomer assholes were a few seats up and the guy said "I don't eat that stuff". WHAT
I don't know, vegetarian, vegan, to me it says a lot more about a person if they purposely say they don't eat fresh anything. And I'm sure they eat a token amount but we all know the type of person that it is.
I'm a real manly man, I only eat manly things like meat! What real men should eat, like 100% real beef! 2 mccdoubles please, and the large fry. Thanks.
It takes a real man to get the factory meat fron the store. A weak vegan could never open that fridge door. It genuinely makes people feel better to do the thing that is really easy and most people do anyway.
Kinda reminds me when i was in starbucks once and the guy in front of me was all weird and went: i want my coffe BLACK, non of that frappo mocca choco latte stuff. Do you even have REAL coffee? And the girl behind the till was like: sure sir, black voffee is our most selled item.
Some people find bananas too exotic.
People are emotionally invested in eating meat and it's stupid.
They are just good TV viewers and consumers.
Yes, but I think it goes deeper. I think it's more People are so threatened by any change in their own life that they have to make it a personality trait.
As in - if one actually looks into vegetarianism or veganism and why people eat that way (the abhorrent conditions of animals, the waste, how we don't actually need meat), then it would force them to actually confront the morality of themselves eating meat. This would cause a personality shift in them - so they instead reinforce their believes with whatever asanine thing allows them to continue their lifestyle while essentially plugging their ears to anything that would challenge it. For our benefit, they come off as whining and emotionally childlike.
then it would force them to actually confront the morality of themselves eating meat.
For many people, "I am a good person" is a core belief. An emotionally strong person may be able to look at a challenge to their core beliefs, assess its validity, and adjust. Most people are not emotionally strong. They see this thing like vegetarianism as an attack on their core self. And since they are not emotionally sound people, they lash out or make excuses. That's easier than accepting maybe they're not flawless paragons of virtue.
The oatmeal did a comic about this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
D&D webcomic "the order of the stick" also did a comic that touches on it. One of the characters says that people like this, who refuse to look in the mirror and honestly assess maybe they've done something bad, are cowards. https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1151.html
And honestly that's kind of it. People are scared, and scared people are stupid. The big "i eat nothing but MEAT" people are probably, contrary to their posturing, cowards. Worse than children, because they'll probably never grow up.
Fries are potatoes! I DON'T EAT THAT STUFF
Aren't potatoes honorary meat or something like that?
"We made it!"
Actually about to start a strength workout having eaten nothing but tofu and lentils for protein. 😱 I'll probably die tbh
FWIW I have achieved higher levels of gym strength as a vegan than I ever did as a carnivore.
Oh interesting. My workouts are pretty standard, but I do sometimes ponder moving to heavy weights.
What are your preferred protein sources?
My main source of protein is definitely tofu. Most days I eat around 500 grams in various dishes. I also eat other beans and lentils, although amounts vary week by week. When I use protein powder I like to mix pea protein with brown rice protein. Pea protein has a different balance of amino acids compared to soy, but alone tends to be hard on my stomach. Hence, the mixture.
I'm imagining every strenuous lift resulting in a toot!
🐘💨
😟 Have extra lentils as a precaution!
