Vegan food for consenting adults

Now that we've got the fights out of our system, don't you all want to read some awesome vegan recipes? From amateur and pro chefs radical, domestic, sweets-craving, post-punk, healthy...and hey, even naked. (Naked vegans NSFW.) And not a cutesy-poo lunchbox in sight. (More inside.)

Of course, if you'd rather a hard-copy recipe book you can take into the kitchen, here are a few classics.

Vegans taste like chickens... very, very sickly chickens.

Why are the vegans (at least in the naked vegan link) mostly over pierced lesbians? What's the connection?

The "radical" link leads to a site that has no content (click the links in it).

Umm, I quite enjoyed looking at many of the naked vegans. I assume my large dyke friends would enjoy looking at the rest. Who was it that said vegans were emaciated again?

Post-Punk Kitchen looks pretty kickass, although their site has no love for Firefox.

Also: Not to be mean or anything, but I think "Healthy Chef Alex" could really use a nice fattening avocado and tempeh sandwich on whole wheat with Nayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Or three.

Or do the month of Mcdonald's like her boyfriend did.

Or maybe not, actually.

Weird. My first thought on seeing 'Healthy Chef Alex' was "Isn't that Morgan Spurlock's vegan girlfriend from Super Size Me?" And she was.

The Post-Punk Kitchen's cookbook is one of the best vegetarian/vegan cookbooks I have (and I've got about 30). I wish I could see the show without buying the DVD.

Vegans: unattractive before or after their diet choice? It's a chicken or the egg riddle. . . er, I guess I can't use that one. It's like facon or the not dog; was it throwup before or after someone ate it? It's an eternal cycle of vomiting and re-eating this food, no one will ever know which came first.

You immoral vegetable killers.

I'm a fruitarian.

I only eat fruit that falls from the trees at my commune, and I carefully place all the seeds into the dirt (with all natural fertilizer) when I'm finished with them.

That way, I make no negative impact on any living thing.

I didn't even want to click on the vegan recipe links after staring at the drawing of impacted teeth. They seemed a bit off-putting next to the chocolate chai cake and black beans.

Did someone say Vegan Porn?

Hm? They didn't? Oh, OK, never mind.

Why do all the vegan porn models look unhealthy?
posted by frogan at 7:36 PM on March 9, 2006


Vegan porn just proves that most people are not that attractive. But you knew that just by watching people walk by ya in a mall or down the street, right?

I've seen such a level of quality at other amature porn when I did contract work for a porn web site wanna-be.
posted by rough ashlar at 7:52 PM on March 9, 2006


I'm going to put this as nicely as I can...I don't feel the Vegporn people are helping to further their cause and may--in fact--be detrimental to the vegetarian movement.

There are some... disturbing things happening in those pictures.

I don't know. That's just a club I can't see myself joining.

For instance, Jennie Mutation here. Who describes herself this way:
Gender Genderqueer transwoman. Prefer female or gender-neutral pronouns.
Sexual orientation Autonosexual/pansexual
Relationship style Polyamorous ethical slut.

She's topless in a tub with a rubber glove and "No War" written on the wall behind her in duct tape. Now, I try not to judge, lest I be judged myself, but... come on.

Hell, I'm a fairly liberal guy and I'm halfway through writing my donation check to the GOP.

What I'm trying to say is: if you want people to treat you as as humanly as possible, please try not to scare the shit out of them at every opportunity. That's all I'm saying.
posted by ColdChef at 7:59 PM on March 9, 2006


I have to concur with ColdChef here.

I've never liked the whole attitude that people adopt when they don exceptionally unusual attire, make-up, tattoos, etc., and then hiss at you "Take a picture, it'll last longer!" as you pass them by. Let's make something clear. You are essentially forcing me to look at you and to react, thus giving you my attention that you appear to crave, though you would of course deny this. I would much rather have spent my day without having seen you, but now I have, and we are both angry.

People. They are the worst!

You carnivores have gotta admit, this looks pretty good.

I like how Jennie has a wobbly tat, but doesn't seem to actually have a job.

Also, ColdChef: I don't think people should have to be "less scary" in order to be treated as humans. Although somebody reallly ought to take away their stupid protest puppets -- they might hurt themselves or others.

I'd hit it.
posted by soyjoy at 8:22 PM on March 9, 2006


Damn, not quick enough. That was to applemeat's image.

Also, though: ColdChef, c'mon, really - what the hell is so wrong with writing words on the wall with duct tape?
posted by soyjoy at 8:23 PM on March 9, 2006

Except the little critters who would have otherwise eaten that fruit. You are causing immeasurable suffering and death! Breathairianism is the only ethical choice.

Oh, I don't either. But, you know, if your point is to scare the "straights", then don't be surprised when you scare them so much you actually become a marketing tool for them.

Also, though: ColdChef, c'mon, really - what the hell is so wrong with writing words on the wall with duct tape?

I'm fairly certain that anyone sharing a shower with Jennie already has a negative outlook on warmongering. But, hell, I don't know. She could be fisting some sub against the wall and all of a sudden that sub thinks, "You know? I was thinking about joining the army, but now, maybe not so much."

Yes, I believe that particular genre of grin has a special designation.

I dunno, getting fisted up against a cold tile wall might be great preparation for a rewarding career in Army Intelligence. Kinda like when they make you sit in a tear-gas-filled hutch so you know what it feels like when you use it on other people.

See, but here's where you and I differ, because to me, that's exactly what makes duct-taped wall messages such a positive thing.
posted by soyjoy at 8:45 PM on March 9, 2006


Fair enough, but I think I should tell you, I'm thinking about duct-taping my bathroom wall to read "Please try not to fist me when I'm in the shower."

I thought I'd come here for the open-mindedness. I guess I'll have to go somewhere else now...

Too fat, too slim, too gay -- well, I guess you guys are just perfect and you can certainly afford to criticize...

BTW, I'm 95% vegan and I don't suck, either, IM(N)HO.

I'm bemused by the mockery, I really am. I am a meat eater for various reasons we need not go into, but if people have a particular ethical view and live it out consistently, that strikes me as admirable. The rude remarks I see here suggest a certain discomfort and unquiet with your dietary choices that can only be satiated by teasing someone else who has a more principled view.

Thanks for the recipe pointers. I like food, and I don't care who's making it.

Since those people generally have the sense to keep their clothes on, the knowledge remains safely theoretical.


> I don't think people should have to be "less scary" in order to be treated as humans.

To consider someone unattractive is one of the ways to treat that person as human. You never hear me going "Gee, what an unattractive rock."

Hey, y'all, thanks for all the feedback/comments on my first post.

(Sorry about the "radical" vegan messup. turns out www.lagusta.com is being renovated, but check it out later for some killer recipes.)

You know what sucks? Carob. Am I right or am I right?
posted by PinkStainlessTail at 10:15 PM on March 10, 2006


Carob's bad. And it has a sharp, stinky smell that's bad, but differently bad, from its unpleasant flavor. That's the weird part. And the waxy texture.

I_am_joe's_spleen: a certain discomfort and unquiet with your dietary choices that can only be satiated by teasing someone else who has a more principled view.

Thank you. I'm vegetarian, married to a vegan. We say nothing about why to carni-omni-vores, unless they ask for our perspectives, or to mildly correct their erroneous statements ("Veg diets are deficient in calcium/protein!") about veg'ism. Despite this, some people respond to our saying "I'm vegetarian/vegan" by launching blistering attacks, or badly aimed mockery.

To be fair, the rudeness in many cases could also be retaliation for suffering past veg-type evangelization (not a mature way to handle it, but understandable). But some people need to stop laying the responsibility for that on me.
posted by cybercoitus interruptus at 11:37 AM on March 11, 2006


Whoever it was that decided carob should be pushed as a substitute for chocolate should be tarred and feathered - er...confettied, that is. I can imagine, and believe in the abstract, that carob has some redeeming qualities to its flavor and could be somehow used to great effect in some food item(s), but I will now never be able to do more than theorize about that because my reaction to it is so viscerally negative after the few times I was gullible enough to try it in foods where it was woefully filling in for chocolate.
