Trigger Warning: Ikizukuri

This week in vegan advocacy, food pre­par­a­tion meth­ods that make one think how anim­als are pre­pared for your pleasure.

Meat Eaters Belatedly Realise Pork Sausages are Made from Piglets

Hypo­crisy be thy name. Dark humour for vegans. Also, one of the reas­ons why I can laugh at people’s responses to the Red Wed­ding on Game of Thrones is because I can reason most of them are caus­ing far worse pain and suf­fer­ing through the food they choose to eat.

Why I no longer take Earth Day/Hour/Whatever seriously

I am annoyed by envir­on­mental groups who refuse to cam­paign for less meat in the next meal, and people who advoc­ate for the envir­on­ment who con­tinue to eat anim­als. If you want to make a real dif­fer­ence, stop eat­ing animals.

The one about “we evolved as omni­vores so its nat­ural.” An uncre­at­ive post-hoc ration­al­iz­a­tion that denies the fact that a vegan diet provides for all nutri­tional needs except for

Is That Beer Vegan-Compliant?

Next time I am invited for a pint, I may have to bor­row that fancy smart­phone of yours to check for vegan com­pli­ance. Some brew­er­ies use animal products in the pro­duc­tion of beer, not­ably isin­glass, made from the swim blad­der of fishes, as fin­ings to clear away the yeast. For ref­er­ence in Malay­sia, nearly every Carls­berg
