Going mad with the horn I let my mate set me up for a double date with his wife's cousin. Off we went to an Italian restaurant, wouldn't have been my first choice would have preferred Indian. She turned out to be late forties yet looked ten years older than me and must have had a hellish paper round when she was young. Ok! I may have started off being a bit shallow about how she looked, but things got worse she was a Vegan, not a quiet Vegan but a missionary Vegan! My "Live long and prosper!" flew straight over her head and when explained she was not amused. Me being the caring feeling person I am I ordered their largest rarest steak. For the next hour or so I listened to her drone on and on whilst she ate her roast vegetables (Roasted in sunflower oil by order.) and crusty bread. Couldn't help having SLIGHT disagreements about how we weren't actually designed to eat meat etc. Her claims of surviving on none animal products was the only way forward and more healthy. Every time I mentioned about vitamin deficiency and the detrimental effects on the body she wouldn't have it. Said she could buy vitamin tablets at health shops. When I pointed out there was nothing natural about doing that, she would get agitated. When my mate pointed out people on normal healthy diets, including animal products don't need to buy vitamins or additives and are all round healthier, she nearly went apoplectic. Then stuffed a lump of bread in her gob, which at least shut her up for awhile. I then went for the coup de grace and asked if she was enjoying the bread. Of course she was. I then asked her what it was made with. Flour was the smug reply. So what makes the bubbles in it that makes it light and fluffy. Erm yeast. she timidly replied. "Right so you aren't bothered about microscopic animals? Just the ones with big brown eyes.!" As we left my mate asked me. "So you going to see her again?" We were in kinks all the way to the taxi!
Every vegan I've ever met, and that's about 4 altogether I reckon has looked about 20 years older than they are. There's one that's a regular in my gym and he's basically just a giant walking (shuffling like he's shat his nappy) super noodle. He's got tiny muscles like a 6 year old boy, tight leathery skin and about 6 hairs on his head, I'm also convinced that if I shake his head his eyeballs will just fall out of their sockets onto the floor. I was having a chat with some bird on the power plates and she told me he was 35. I'd have still been surprised if she'd said he was early 50's. He's not like a Mo Farah kind of skinny either, he's ****ing useless at the gym, always coming in with new bandages on body parts probably because he stood up too fast and snapped a bone or something.
Are you saying yeast isn't a microscopic living organism? By the way nice job of signing up for your one and only post to look a fool.
Thank Christ for the internet. I have only met one other hard core Vegan and you're right he looked much older than his years and was like a lath. I'm not joking about how old this lass looked, she wasn't skinny by any means but her skin looked sallow and hanging off her. I nearly bit once and nearly said she looked really ill. 47 and looked 67. I didn't get close enough to find this out, but my mate reckons she has odour problems to put it politely, not off being unclean, but he reckons down to her diet, including bad breath. I thought it was just supposed to be us omnivores got food bad breath?
Of course they're living organisms. So are plants, seaweeds, bacteria and all manner of other 'microscopic organisms' Yeasts are fungi, ergo they are categorically NOT animal
I know one Vegan. She isnt the preachy kind which is great. Oh, and you would. You just would. Every day and twice on sundays
