Does my tea have to be green, or blue, or red, or stink of ****? Cant it just be murky brown?

Veganism would be great if it werent for the ****ing vegans
Exactly so. I suspect that, in earlier times, these people would have been puritans, inquisitors and flagellants. If they lived in the Middle East, they'd all be in ISIS. For a lot of them, it's about holier-than-thou purity more than it's about the cuddly-wuddly ickle animals.
