”However much Anti-Vegans try to discredit, mock, and trivialize veganism, their criticisms remain unreasonable and cannot touch the Truth of what this lifestyle is all about: compassion. But they will continue to try, and in doing so reveal their own fears and exaggerations rather than some inherent flaw they’re hoping to uncover in a philosophy that at its core seeks not perfection but...

vegansaurus:
I just tried this Tofu Misozuke cheese from Rau Om spread on some whole grain crackers and it was SO DAMN GOOD.
Well, not that exactly. What had happened was, when it first arrived, I greedily ripped open the packaging, cut off an enormous chunk, and stuffed it straight in my maw. Then, I spit it out because it was DAMN POTENT. I then read the accompanying information and saw...

Why rape is rape is rape is rape.
