Hold the Meat – Food PTSD

When you cut out a food group as big as meat, people are always surprised when you don’t eat what they consider to be a non-meat staple. Luke is completely baffled by the fact that I don’t eat onions and peppers and is kind of surprised that I haven’t just dropped dead. I mean, after […]

Hold the Meat – Wait, what do I eat?

I mentioned in my intro post that when people find out that I’m a vegetarian, the question I get the most is, “wait, well what do you eat?” These aren’t even people like my brother-in-law, who would literally die if meat was taken out of his diet, because he would be down to like, 70 […]

Hold the Meat – Quorn is like porn (of the food variety)

Having been a vegetarian for nearly thirty years, very little in the field of meat-replacement technology surprises me.

To me, being a vegan is on par with knowing a lot about wine or reading 19th century poetry in your spare time: you’re clearly a pretentious asshole and any conversation we would […]

Hold the Meat: But what about the CHILDREN?

For instance, did you know that if you start feeding a cute, adorable little baby squash, that he immediately becomes a bileous, stinking factory of DUDE POOP? Because he does. And it’s awful. Baby food in general is a tricky area which I’m going to explore further later on. The big question now is, will the baby be a vegetarian?
