Just exactly how does someone become so mentally ill and dysfunctional that they take a basic human need, eating, and tie it into the lie of the earth’s destruction from anthropogenic climate change so that it dominates their life?
= = =

Stopping eating, or eating weirdly is something we can still do. And it makes a social statement.

For example, we can’t protest, drive gas cars, turn the heater up or AC down, microagress anyone, show skin if it is white . . .

But we can eat S#!T

Didn’t an LSU football coach start this whole vegan thing?

And that someone is Al Gore.

Newport Oregon has a brew pub that feeds their spent grain to their Wagyu beef. You can get a really good Wagyu burger and really good tap beer there.

“Food miles are a way to measure how food gets to our plates – the greater the distance, the more damaging it can be for our environment.”

How much damage to the environment does a huge container ship from China, loaded with products that we used to make here, cause the environment. Oh and the ship uses oil 1st shipped from the middle east or Russia to China.

Funny how that never makes their radar.

...freegans eat animal by-products under some, limited circumstances.

Roadkill? There's a cookbook for that.

I had a now-deceased and very dear friend who was a vegetarian, not a full-fledged vegan. His hypocritical view was that it was OK to eat things like cheese, milk products, eggs and any other kind of food which did not harm any animal.

I asked him if he ate eggs. He said, “Yes, it is OK to eat eggs because it does not harm any animal.” I then asked him, “Isn’t eating an egg kind of like eating an abortion?” Man, did he get ANGRY! He almost unfriended me for that one! ;-)

It will be great to keep him the dark about where his lettuce comes form in the winter. These folks will lie to each other about where their food comes from in order to look the most eco freiendly

Back in the 90’s we referred to dumpster divers as freegans.

What BS. CC has always been going on and the earth was created to handle it, so take your footprint and stick it up your rear. Get a life!

It kinda indicates that an ethos is involved.

Most commercial eggs are unfertilized, but I still see the humor. I’m not sure the conditions that laying hens are kept in would be considered harmless

“Freegan” used to mean dumpster diving.
I think this may be cultural appropriation!
