Today, starting at 10:00 am, there was a convention in Chicago with tons of free vegan food and various vegan vendors. The first 100 people who showed up got a bag filled with free vegan stuff.
Vegans are dirty, lazy hippies for the most part, so I didn't think anyone would show up much before 10:30. Wrong! There was a line of 200 before it even opened (no free bag of goodies for me!) It was a madhouse.
Anyway, in addition to buying some vegan cheese made of cashews which turns out to be a bit nasty, I also bought 8 gourmet vegan chocolate truffles, figuring I'd share them with Kipsy and Uncle Sam if they come here for a spa ghettoway over Christmas. I didn't ask how much they cost before she made the box up... and let's just say, you had better LOVE those stupid truffles.

Wow, Vegans are dirty and lazy? I had no idea! I'll definitely be wary of them from now on.
ReplyDeleteFree food is big these days. The economy, you know.
Smelliott and I went to the San Francisco Vegfest a couple of years ago. I tried all the food before I bought anything. That's how we discovered Soy Jerky and Parma seasoning. I can't wait to try the truffles.
ReplyDeleteWell, the visible ones are dirty, lazy hippies. It's kind of like when people say things like, "Men who dress as women are SO OBVIOUS. Who do they think they're kidding? You can ALWAYS TELL." To which I reply, "How do you know you can always tell? If they're good at it, you wouldn't know they are men."
ReplyDeleteSame argument here: people frequenly express surprise to hear I am vegan, and say things like "You're a very unusual vegan. Vegans are dirty, lazy hippies, who start arguments and are rude to people who eat meat in front of them." No, those are just the ones people notice.
In practice, I have no idea how many men "pass" as women, or how many vegans "pass" as respectable, yuppie omnivores! I was just making a joke. ;) But to be fair, there were a lot of dirty, lazy hippies at Veganmania.
You crack me up, Roothy.
ReplyDeleteThat's a benefit of being in beef country- no one has stereotypes about vegans. Most people I meet don't know what a vegan is, so now I am forming their stereotype. So they assume all vegan food is healthy. I brought fudge to school Friday, and a few people said "Ooh, healthy fudge!". Which it was not. But they generally like it. I've converted several teachers into eating hummus. Several others ask me EVERY time "Now, what is this made of?"
