Vegetarians are Gay, Vegans are Transsexual
Sloane Crosley, who couldn’t hack it as a vegan and now eats fish, reminds me of what a freak I am…
“…being a vegetarian in this city is not unlike being gay. Vegetarian restaurants and options abound. I have the same number of veggie friends as I do gay friends. Because it’s so common and sometimes even hip to be a vegetarian, it’s become socially acceptable to poke fun of us. Being a vegan, of course, is more like the dietary equivalent of being a transsexual. Acceptance isn’t quite as contagious as it should be.”
