A meme. For vegans. Ⓥ

They supply the nonsense. We supply the lulz.

A place for vegans to laugh in the face of speciesism.

After becoming a fan of the numerous memes exposing cis, white, hetero, male privilege, a thought occurred to me: Why not create one for the ridiculousness spewed by speciesists? After all, human privilege is probably the most prevalent form of privilege. And let's face it: vegans need a laugh every now and then, too!

At the end of a long day, what vegan hasn't curled up on the couch with their furry companion, only to flip on the TV to watch endless commercials promoting the body parts and derivatives of commodified beings, and between that, have to resist the urge to throw something at the TV set because yet another high-profile, rich asshat is celebrating "Happy Meat!" or other such bullshit.

Anyone? If so, then this is the place for you! :)

Yeah, where’s your sense of optimism?

Oh, foodies. You crack me up.
