Funny thing is, and I don't know how many others feel the same way, but vegetarian and vegan is basically just eating veggies and fruits and nuts...so it's really only a case of eating most foods in their natural state and leaving out the meat; nothing mystical, if you see it that way. If that makes sense.

I spent 2 days doing video shoots with a vegan. The ingredients they used were mind blowing. Not in a bad way - rather saying they were very creative.

I think the ones that put their heart into it and don't do it as a fad really know what they're doing, and there are some great meals out there.

My wife just called and said they only have 10 almonds left at the store.

Almond fail.

Vegetarians piss me off.

No, I'm not changing my diet because you're at my table, if you don't like eating meat, GTFO of my kitchen.

It's just like xians, when they come to eat with us. No, I'm not going to pause while you thank jeebus for what I have provided. GTFO.

Ah. It's too early.

I love "get ripped" articles that involve stuff like "reduce stress by practicing Qi gong - focus your inner chi! Stress keeps you fat."

I can't argue about the impact that stress has. I am a stress eater. On the other hand, are stress-free individuals really more "six pack" ripped? That is the question...

I am starving. Lots of chicken with some random seasoning from Emeril.

That's what gets me. It's socially acceptable for someone to say "I'm a vegetarian" and expect people to accommodate them. However, if I were to say, "I am on the paleo diet, and I need to derive >40% of my caloric intake from meat products," (not that I am, mind you), that would be considered rude and uncooperative.
