Activists Have Identified A Number Of Phrases We Shouldn’t Say, Because They Could Offend Vegans
Chicks on the Right ^ | 12/3/2018 | Hannah Bleau

Subscribe to the Chicks! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If you want to be vegan, be vegan. I don’t care. I only care if you’re the type of vegan who constantly feels the need to judge me and lecture me for eating meat and wearing leather boots. If you’re in my face, I’ll dial the vegan jokes to 11. (Actually, I’m always in the mood for a good vegan joke. They’re funny!)

Actually, one of my friends is a vegan, so see? It’s actually possible for a meat eater and a vegan to be friends.

However, I will not tolerate nonsense like this.

Some people think we need to stop saying phrases like, “bringing home the bacon” and “putting all your eggs in one basket,” because it’s offensive to vegans.

I kid you not. This is an actual article in the UK Independent.

Writing for The Conversation, the researcher explains how meat-based metaphors are a popular staple of our everyday vernacular but that an increased awareness in the environmental and ethical issues surrounding meat production “will undoubtedly be reflected in our language and literature” and that this language may no longer be so widely accepted.

“In today’s reality, meat is repeatedly the subject of much socially and politically charged discussion, including about how the demand for meat is contributing to climate change and environmental degradation,” she continues.

"Here you can see a female Great Pyrenees with a recent litter of puppies nursing a baby goat. This is a common and wanted scene in any pasture "

How can you be plant based 99.99% of the time when, in my experience with you, you are alcohol based at least 30% of the time ... the numbers simply don’t add up.

But we WANT to offend Vegans. Their pronouncements of pseudo- moralistic condemnation of us carnivores are offensive enough to US.
