    I ate a 12-inch veggie patty at Subway today. So I am either obviously better than all you jerks or pathetic beyond redemption.

    You be the judge!

    This is one of the few places in which both statements could be equally true.

    Do you ever rush through a job because you need to get comments in about some shooting?[​IMG]

    On the other hand, espresso > pop, I mean soda.

    Are vegan marathoners conflicted in whether they first mention they run marathons or are vegans when you meet them?

    No, because it goes like this, "as a vegan marathoner do you have any idea how hard it is to carb load? Thankfully, the meditation techniques I learned in yoga and have applied in my crossfit routine have really helped. Maybe you heard my piece about it on NPR?"

    Hypocritical vegetarians, always acting like they're better than you.

    Fuck serving them shrimp, just get 'em drunk, and give 'em a burger:

    On any given day, how much meat does the average vegetarian eat? Since vegetarians, by definition, don’t eat meat, this question should be boring because of course the answer is zero. This question isn’t boring at all, though, because it has a very specific, very not-zero answer—83.2 grams, about one standard serving.

    With this in mind, it’s not so surprising that a recent survey shows that one third of vegetarians eat meat while they’re drunk.

    This first figure—seriously, the average vegetarian in the U.S. eats one serving of meat per day!—comes from a 2003 analysis of data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the late 90’s. The researchers examined responses from a representative sample of nearly 10,000 Americans who had detailed everything they ate over two separate and nonconsecutive 24-hour periods. And vegetarians, it turns out, eat meat. About 40 percent of what the typical American reported—220 grams or so—but meat all the same.

    This doesn’t necessarily mean that every vegetarian eats meat, since this figure is only an average, but most vegetarians in the U.S. do. Another survey from the USDA, also conducted by phone, put the number of vegetarians who’ve eaten meat in the last day at about two-thirds.

    Maybe respondents misunderstood the question and what was meant by "eating meat".
