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
I think that's the point, though. There is only one valid reason to not eat meat, because you don't like the taste.

As soon as it becomes more than that it becomes an ideology of some kind. And at that point it becomes irritating and pathetic and, more importantly, intellectually indefensible.
