Just received this funny e-mail from my sister (who was a vegetarian from age 13-17 but still likes to playfully poke fun at my veganism from time to time):
SUBJECT: I never thought this day would come
O….M…G…
I have soy milk in my house.
And for once I wasn’t the one that brought it!
I was listening to the good ol’ Don and Mike Show the other day on the way home from work and was surprised to actually hear the word “vegan” make it onto the show. Of course, it was first with a tone of disdain from Mike (”Everyone likes a good steak now and then. But she might be one of those vegans.”) followed by an absolutely baffling statement from Don, along the lines of:
“My nephew is getting married to this girl who’s as vegan as you can be. You know what she had the other night for a snack? A corn dog.”
A vegan that eats corn dogs? Definitely not vegan. That’d be like a self-proclaimed progressive voting for Bush.
