Sorry but I need to vent. Most of the time I am more than willing to inform enquiring minds on vegainsm and related topics. But it is NOT my job to educate the ignorant, and sometime one just gets a little frustrated by all the stupidity. So I need to let it all out here rather than scare away a “prospective recruit.” wink, wink, just kidding. Ok here it goes. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing something career wise more vegan oriented. I’ve always been fond of cooking and wanted a catering business of some kind so it only seems natural the two should go hand in hand. So a friend of mine mentioned this to a family member of hers also interested in a catering business. Of course their response to having a vegan menu is by doing so I would limit my amount of clientele. Ok, now this got me really pissed, kind of like the final straw in a long line of stupid things said by omni’s. (omnivores) can we please just stop and think for just one minute. Yes a very small part of the American population is vegan, but EVERYONE eats vegan food EVERY DAY! Hello what the hell do you season all your flesh with?? Herbs and spices, which, oh my god, are vegan! I am just so sick of the ignorance that exists in this country. So lets see which company is really more limiting… one that serves mostly flesh products and veggies smothered in butter and cheese sauces excluding vegans and vegetarians or a company that serves products we all already enjoy? Caution this is going to sound harsh but I gotta get it out, get a fucking clue! Ahh, that feels better. Eating ‘vegan’ isn’t some weird type of outlandish food, its fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, grains, things we ALL enjoy on a daily basis and could not healthily sustain without. Speaking of nuts, all your meat loving freaks sure know how to ruin a good thing. As a midmorning snack I usually enjoy munching on dry cereal flakes and almonds. Yesterday I was in kind of a rush and mistakenly grabbed a can of mixed nuts instead of my regular whole almonds. So this morning I’m at work and take a handful of my cereal-nut mixture only to end up gagging because of all the dam salt. I mean really, what the hell is wrong with you people? You don’t get enough salt in your flesh you have to add it to delicious nuts too? Come on! Nuts are a naturally healthy and tasty why dilute this with salt? I’ll let you in on a little secret. After going vegan your taste buds change, and you discover things like fresh vegetables actually have flavor. We don’t know this because we dilute our tastes so much by drowning everything in butter and fatty cheese and cream sauces. Ok, so sorry but sometimes I just want to scream fuck omnivores! But then I come back to reality and remember that not that long ago I too grotesquely stuffed my face with animal products while turning a blind eye (or is it a deaf ear?) to all the suffering and unhealthy ways of traditional American cuisine.
Although I must admit the stupidity and ignorance may be just the ting to actually get me off my ass and embark on this business venture, just so I can prove you all wrong! So thanks.
