I hated how, when I was a kid, being a vegetarian made me different. It wasn’t just that I couldn’t have the pepperoni pizza in the cafeteria; I couldn’t have Oreos, because my dad told me that the filling was just sugared lard. This, it turns out, was only partially true. I couldn’t eat Jell-O […]
When you cut out a food group as big as meat, people are always surprised when you don’t eat what they consider to be a non-meat staple. Luke is completely baffled by the fact that I don’t eat onions and peppers and is kind of surprised that I haven’t just dropped dead. I mean, after […]

The interesting thing about growing up as a vegetarian is eventually you become an adult and through happenstance, you find yourself living with a meat-eater. When my parents divorced and found new mates, they didn’t make not eating meat one of their requirements. Neither did my sister or I. As a result, the four of […]
Dude. I hate vegans. I literally cannot listen to somebody say the phrase, “I’m a vegan,” without groaning and rolling my eyes. To me, being a vegan is on par with knowing a lot about wine or reading 19th century poetry in your spare time: you’re clearly a pretentious asshole and any conversation we would […]
