The age of the vegan is upion us and everywhere I read there are vegan this and vegan that. I wouldn't mind , I can choose not to read this but when it is pushed on you that is where I draw the line. That's your choice but I am happy how I am thank you. Yes I am aware that that is a pig's eye. It does look quite like a human eye. I understand but I am not going to be put off by that anytime soon. I was interviewing a girl for a position in my company the other week. We shook hands
Hi I'm Paul, pleased to meet you.
HI I'm Alice, thanks for asking me for the interview.
So tell me a bit about yourself Alice?.....
Well I'm from Kilkenny and I am vegan.
OK let's stop this right here. Veganism is not just a life choice , it is now a sub culture. Why would anyone tell me what they like to eat at the start of a job interview. I can never remember anyone say
My name is Shelia and I love a good steak
I have no problem with people abstaining from meat and dairy. That's their own loss in my opinion. Plenty more ham sandwiches for me at work do's. There's a lentil sandwich over there with hairs on it. But stop bleating on about it like it defines you. And also stop telling me about the poor animals getting treated badly when I am in the middle of eating the arse of one of them as we speak.
You may as well be talking to the wall. I was a self proclaimed "Meatatarian" up to the age of 25. I only ate meat. The vegtables were put to the side with the rabbit food salad. I loved a well done steak and then one came out medium rare and I ate that and I loved it more. A bacon sandwich or a burger after a night out is one of the nicest things that life can offer in my opinion. I bet there are vegans out there that wake up after a party with a doner kebab beside them. There has to be. I just look at vegan recipes and wonder where the taste is. I have been to alot of nice hotels and the vegan menu sounds awful and looks the same. I got one just to try one night to see if I could do it. Good restaurant with many awards. If I am going to be so against it in my idealogy I gonna have to ruin a meal by trying it. I had a tofu scramble with avocado.
Look , they tried their very best, the poor souls of the chefs looking at me like the germans looked at the jews, waiting for a complaint. It was tasty but it was missing bacon. There was just no substitute for the real thing unfortunately. The one good thing is that you would lose weight on a vegan diet but you will be cold in the winter time.
It wasn't until I got to Germany that I realised half the world doesn't eat pork. I was shocked and horrified and could not believe that a religion would ban something so tasty. Christens are not meant to eat meat on Friday (Ha,good one Jesus!) but the muslims are not allowed eat bacon at all. Holy Moses (he was in both books by the way!!)
So in summary I love bacon and noone will persuade me otherwise even if they show me a picture of "Babe" chasing sheep around the farm. Unfortunately for me most of Steemit are snowflakes and the most common trait among snowflakes is that they are vegansss. So I need the meateaters of Steemit to stand up and be proud. 
FREEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMMMM to not get commented on when tucking into a bacon sandwich!!!
