There's also all the food labeled "gluten free" because there never was any gluten near it in any form in the first place.
"Fat free" hard candy is the best. Aside from the fact it would cost me money, I'd like to have some "A make your own fat food" stickers made up and put them on stuff at the store.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

My cousin's gone vegan. I've actually found a bunch of vegan recipes and I always share them on Facebook (he went off Facebook for a while) and tag him on them. Even found a recipe for vegan chocolate sriracha ice cream (wanna try that).

I've kinda kicked around the idea of going vegan off and on for a while now. Always figured that the way I'd do it would be to slowly introduce more and more veggie-based meals into my diet while slowly phasing out meats and dairy. I figured that'd be a far more realistic way to do it than trying to just go cold turkey.

Meats I don't think I'd have a huge issue giving up, butdairy would be the hard thing for me. I really really really love milk.

The hardest part of going vegan is being a smarmy ass about it.

Why don't you just become an old-fashioned vegetarian? It is very difficult to obtain adequate amounts of iron and protein through a vegan diet, and I have never found a truly compelling moral justification for giving up dairy and honey.

It's just something I occasionally kick around in my head really. I'm not planning to give up meat right as I find an amazing local burger place. :P

Because the lack of cheese and awesome honey is what it takes to go full smarmy ass?
