Delicious cruelty-free wank!
Over at Pandagon, Chris Clarke makes the following post:

I haven’t really wanted to make a big deal out of this. After all, we Pandagonians are on the same side, more or less, and I tell myself it’s not politically correct to impose my own moral sensibilities on others.

But I’ve just heard one too many references in comments here to certain dietary practices, comments made blithely and without any sense of shame, to keep silent any longer.

Can one truly be a leftist, a progressive, a feminist, without scrutinizing one’s diet for cruelty? You may think your other good works make up for what you put in your mouth. You may think that paying attention to the ethical aspects of your daily diet is just one more burden in a progressive PC laundry list of oppressions.

But I guarantee this video will make you see things differently.

Trigger warnings apply.


...and follows it with a Youtube video of the Arrogant Worms song "Carrot Juice is Murder."

Cue humorless vegans and vegetarians getting their free-range organic hemp panties in a twist, including the amazing assertion that it's okay to be self-righteous if one's right. (The best part is that Chris Clarke and Amanda, the blog owner, are both vegetarians.)

Just 'cause a radish can't screaaaaam!

And it's a heave! (ho!) hi! (ho!) coming down the plain
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho! (hey!) hi! (hey!) farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores

I love that song.

I was first struck by the horror of carnivorism when I held my infant niece in my arms and realized that she was roughly the same size, shape and texture as the animal that was about to be set before the family for dinner.

Actually, it was more hunger than a horror of carnivorism –; what struck me was that she literally looked good enough to eat. I mimed taking a bite out of her plump leg and she laughed.


I, uh - no, what? WHAT. It's a joke, right? They were being facetious, hoo boy funny haha, right?

It is! She looked up "self-righteous" in the dictionary, and proved her moral superiority to the rest of us murderers!

Can one truly be a leftist, a progressive, a feminist, without scrutinizing one’s diet for cruelty?

What on earth kind of question is that? Am I to believe that since I eat meat, I'm actually eating oppressed people as well? Pretty sure when I buy my meat it specifies "pork" or "beef" or "chicken." Lemme check...*looks in fridge* Nope, no human chops. No Soylent roast. No baby wings. I'm good.

Looks like we have a violation of Tubman's Law FTL:

Remember, slave owners were also reasonable people who held ‘different opinions’ to the abolitionists.

Loved this(these) one(s):

“I remain righteously smug on this subject, secure in the knowledge that vegetables would feed on us if they could. Indeed, I have a rather aggressive toe fungus doing so even now, dammit.”

The fungi are the common enemy of both plants and animals. So really, we need to work with the plants to destroy the fungi first, THEN go after each other…
