Next on Today's Old News, Ric Romero, entomologist, reports: honey comes out of a bee's bum.

This is the least disgusting picture of the insects in question:



Hurrah for antique prints.

The females look like very, very tiny ticks. En masse, they look sort of like grey fuzzy mold. They are the grey spots on the cactus plant in the above picture.

LaraAmber: LabGrrl: Do the vegans know that they are probably inhaling and ingesting more cells from dairy products while standing in line at Starbucks than they are getting from such food coloring?

Every bit of cream or milk you are smelling is animal cells lodging in your nose, and most of them end up in your stomach...unless you're blowing and washing your nose constantly. That big cloud of steam from the frothing going on? Full of dairy cells.


When I tried to tell my husband this, he argued with me like crazy. Of course I was telling him that when you smell shiat or farts you are inhaling cells that were just in someone's ass, so maybe he was trying desperately to stay in denial.

Shiat, girls, that's not the point of veganism.

Yes, you are correct about the ingesting of animal, but you seem to miss the point. The vegan person inhaling this is not buying it, therefore keeping themselves out of the 'responsibility chain' of causing animal suffering, and maintaining their ethical integrity.

It's not like an allergy (in most cases), and it's not like a Jew/Muslim person consuming pork and going to hell for it. The 'not consumng animal products' ethos is not broken every time you breathe meat at a vegan, because they're not the ones financially supporting a horrifying industry that genuinely inflicts ridiculously high levels of suffering on animals, all in the name of "I love meat so much, but I'm not prepared to pay more for it just so the animals it comes from can learn what life is like outside the battery cage", that'd be you.

what, Red Dye Lake #3 not good enough for s-bucks? one more reason to keep sipping dunkin' donuts.

GODS DAMN YA MOTHERFRAKKIN SONSAB*TCHES, IT'S FRAKKIN COCHINEAL WHICH HAS BEEN IN USE FOR FRAKDAMN LONGER THAN ANY OF YOU PROJECTILE-VOMIT INDUCING MAGGOTS HAVE BEEN ALIVE.

STOP YOUR WHINING AND SNIVELLING OR I WILL FRAKKIN' KEELHAUL THE LOT OF YOU WEAKLINGS!

Me? But I'm not the one supporting giant factory farming techniques and destroying 3rd world countries. That would be someone who got their coffee and food from places like....Starbucks.

Even although they use fairtrade coffee? The simple action of not purchasing goods of any variety, from any company, unless they are ecologically sound, fairtrade etc, is a personal choice that takes the individual consumers money away from their non-eco/FT sources. If every customer bought only these kind of items, then starbucks would have less of a market for selling the 'evil' varieties, and they would start to stock only organic, fairtrade gods, as per the laws of supply and demand.

But there's just no will from the public, because they're willfuly ignorant of the consequences of their actions.

Shame you sound so ignorant, cos otherwise your misunderstanding of what constitutes vegan would have been kinda cute and endearing, in an overthinkingly geeky, but ultimately wrong-end-of-the-stick, kind of way.

Now you just sound ill-informed, and argumentative. Don't worry though, there's plenty of you out there. Keep spreading the misinformation, so that society eventually falls, you badassed anarchist, you.

I'm glad you understand that merely having fair trade coffee does not make a place an ecologically friendly choice and hope you make better choices in the future. Hope the rest of your rant got you what you needed, and got that crap out of your system.

I'm glad you got a kick out of the irony..

Hot like pastrami.

Not a vegan but what is an appendix for?

I'd have thought the job of "a text added to the end of a book or an article, containing information that is important to, but is not the main idea of, the main text" would have been fairly self explanatory...
