Met Yet Another Ignorant Hypocrite Today

Let me guess. Tractor Supply?

WTF?

I ignored the fish she just ate, and asked how she managed to make sure her diet had enough protein. She told me how lentils had more protein per calorie than meat. I asked how she managed to make the lentils contain a complete protein. Did she add grains?

Blank stare.

I kid you not.

She then ordered a chocolate dessert that had milk (but she made sure it did not contain much of the hated animal product).


I left just shaking my head at the hubris, virtue signaling, hypocrisy, and general dumbassery.


If you are going to make a "stand" then make sure you actually believe what you practice and have at least the rudimentary knowledge about it.

I live in a college town. Plenty of options, tractor supply among them. I’ll make exceptions for her.

that's the definition of a pagan religion. You do not follow it directly; instead you pick and choose certain aspects you personally want, and flat-out ignore other parts... but still proclaim you are a strict follower of the faith.

She's a product of CNN ans MSNBC.

NEVER MIND!

I have met over the years a few that claim to be strict Vegans. One thing is many always seem to bring the conversation around to that subject.

Here is one (now age 62) that would not start the subject but would join in the conversation!


She was a waitress and the funny thing is she worked for many years at the biggest steak house in the area. I asked her does it bother you delivering all this meat. She said no, but the hardest thing I'm asked to do is make a recommendation. She would say something like the queen cut prime rib is our biggest seller..

I never knew her to editorialize about the fact she was a none meat eater.

Edit: there’s a lot of judgy ignorant morons here and in the world in general. If someone wants to eat a pine cone let em eat a damn pine cone. Also stfu about eating pine cones.

It's not whether someone is or isn't. It is whether they feel compelled to inform those around them. IDGAS about anyone's habits or lifestyle until they present it to me.

If your daughter is aggressive with those that aren't vegans, then what she is doing is wrong. If she lives her life her way, then good for her.

I have to agree. Looks like she fell, face first, into my tackle box. But remove the hardware, give her a bath, and get rid of the dreadlocks, and she would most likely be a really pretty girl.

I’ll say it for her. She’s into it for herself and is not aggressive about it. Looks better, feels better, she’s healthier. She has to choose carefully what she eats and knows how to read nutrition labels. A lot of meat restaurants have vegan options these days for that person in a group but it’s usually an impossible burger. Some restaurants here have tasty meat and vegan dishes. Personally I don’t have to eat a dead animal for every meal. I like veggies.

At my age, I am about 4 decades from even bothering to speak to a mohawk or nose ring or sleeved up person. Regardless of their age, they are showing the world that they are living a hissy-fit, having an on-going tantrum, are 'rebelling' against something, have a 'statement' to make.

Sorry. Burnt out on all of that horseshit. If you go out of your way to deface yourself, I want nothing to do with you. Life is too short to deal with emotional cripples.

Is the OP ignorant -- yes, but a hypocrite? Probably not, just ignorant.

I've know several people IRL and online who aren't necessarily vegs, yet they think "meat" is only beef.

"Meat" was always assumed to be the flesh (muscle) of an animal. Pigs, chickens, lambs, deer, fish and other sea creatures are all animals -- they're not plants or minerals -- and their flesh is meat.

George Carlin: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

So the woman in the OP probably doesn't consider fish to be "meat." (is it a plant? A mineral? )

FWIW: My oldest sister (83) is mostly a veg and would be totally if her meat-and-potatoes husband wasn't there, who she cooks for. She is not a liberal -- she is apolitical -- and I'm not sure of this but I think she got brainwashed by reading and by the veg propaganda that's been out there for decades now.

There is a slaughterhouse just a mile or two from them and my BIL mentioned something about it a few years ago and my sister got pissed at him because he used the word "slaughter."

Americans are so spoiled, so comfortable, and so used to being surrounded by nutritious, fresh food at a cheap price (yes, it's still cheap, just not as cheap as it was) that we reject it and eat relatively un-nutritious plants instead.

I guarantee you that the first thing the freed Holocaust or Gulag victims wanted to eat was a chunk of meat -- not celery or broccoli -- and they were just driven by instinct, because their bodies knew what they needed.

A test for the skeptical -- I've never done this but I know what the answer would likely be:

Separate egg yolks from the whites and put them in separate dishes and put them out in the yard. Any opportunistic animal like crows, possums, etc. will find them at some point. They may sniff both dishes but will eat the yolks first because they instinctively know that most of the nutrition is in the yolks. They haven't been brainwashed (yet).

This is why people don’t like boomers. How many were strung out in the 60s with drugs free love antiestablishmentism and now point their fickle fat old fingers at who they once were.

Sounds………hypocritical.

We had friends come to the beach and stay over,he told us his wife does not eat meat so we went and bought those fake burgers....when I was going to turn on the grill she tells me she would like to clean one side of the grate herself and did I have separate utensils for her food
I told her in a very nice way,next time they come maybe she should bring her own food.

Swing and a miss. The group you describe were 15-20 years older than me.

I was born in '61. A child in the '60's. Late boomer here. So I saw the mohawks and safetly pins first hand in the mid to late '70's in SF Bay Area clubs. I was THERE. And it was the same message. At age 17-20, I tolerated it. Never had a mohawk or pins myself. Went to some shows and clubs. Punk and New Wave was NEW. By 21 I was working at my career and all grown up. And still watched as 20 year old crybabies became 30 and 40 year old crybabies. Sorry, not for me.
