Bookmark this letter from Rynn Berry and print it out. Show it to anyone who comes at you with that stupid ass “Hitler was a vegetarian” claim.

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.

Vegans who eat corn dogs aren’t vegan
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.

A short documentary about a small-scale chicken farm. A review states, “It’s also pleasant to witness chicken ‘harvesting’ that isn’t filthy, foul or rife with brutality.” How can it not be rife with brutality when there’s death involved?

“Tiny bits of protein extracted from a 68-million-year-old dinosaur bone have given scientists the first genetic proof that the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex is a distant cousin to the modern chicken.” We could never factory farm a Tyrannosaurus rex.

A San Jose-based egg producer is trying to build a poultry farm that will house up to 900,000 chickens on unincorporated farmland near an animal sanctuary. There are plenty of opponents, to be sure.
