Those Angry Veggies
There was a time in my life when I thought that food was just for eating. Whether you ate vegetables, meat, a combination thereof, it was just food.
Some people don’t like meat. They don’t enjoy it, they don’t want to eat it. Hey, who am I to judge? I’ve had all vegetarian meals before. I’ve had all meat meals before. I’ve even killed, gutted, and cooked my own animals. When you’re in the woods, you eat what the woods has to offer.
I met a new breed of people recently. Sure, I knew they existed. I mean, I thought if you were one of them you went and joined up with all the rest of the PETArds. But I was wrong. Very wrong. This group of people are so angry, so unsatisfied with their lives, that not only do they not understand humour or satire, but they feel the need to threaten people with their lives simply for the food they eat. This group is known as the….
ANGRY VEGGIES!
Yes, these people exist, and there were some very interesting comments left on my last post, Petardia. One man in particular, was very interesting. He was the first angry veggie to comment. Well, I don’t know if he’s a man. It’s kind of hard with a name Dacho. Maybe it’s a girl. Or maybe it’s an it. Or maybe it’s a boy with a really really small wiggly, which is why it feels compelled to get angry over a little humorous satire.
In Patardia, I was making fun of the the retardation the PETArds call sea kittens, in which if we rename fish to sea kittens, nobody will want to eat fish any more. They’d prefer people to starve than eating fish, I’m guessing. The thing named Dacho took exception to that post. He/she/it took something not serious seriously, and made some interesting comments. For example, on evolution, Dacho says:
-You didn’t spend a single second of “climbing your way up”, you’re eating meat from an animal that’s been raised and slaughtered for you, that’s what you did.
So apparently evolution started sometime in late 1977 huh? Interesting.
Some other tidbits of brilliance from Dacho:
……we might as well eat fetuses and little babies. Nothing like a nice bloody piece of meat, right?
I’m wondering, just because I like cow, pig, chicken, and sometimes cat (we have a GREAT Chinese food restaurant here in town), you assume I’m into cannibalism too? Because cooked fetus is just like a plate full of delicious prime rib. Us carnivores haunt proms looking for dumpster babies. You tard.
Of course, since Dacho took my satire so seriously, he left serious comments. Not hypocritical in any ways. For example, he said this:
-I suppose you mean vegetable farms. No, they’re not, but let’s take a soy farms example. EIGHTY PERCENT of soy made on farms is used for FEEDING ANIMALS ON FARMS.
And he followed it up with this tibit of genius:
OK now I’m really curious. People would usually delete my comment and pretend it was never there, and continue with their silliness. And I would really like it to be something with trustable sources, not just “doctors say yadda yadda” (like my 80% soy thing, lol).
So Dacho. You can leave bullshit made up statistics, TELL me they were bullshit statistics, and insist that I come up with verified sources? Sounds like the only one who’s being silly here is you, my friend.
According to the great Dacho, my parents:
I really don’t see what your problem with vegetarians might be, have your parents been hitting you with a vegetarian when you were a kid or what? Anyway, set your facts straight if you wanna spit on something.
I’m guessing that it was actually my parents who had a problem with vegetarians, because they used them to beat me. And I always thought that dad used his belt. I guess he really hated veggies if he used one as a belt! And Dacho, why do I have to get my facts straight when you admit you don’t?
As I was making fun of the PETArds and their sea kittens, apparently I also mentioned all the things that I think vegetarians are:
I just love the stereotypes: “oooh, a vegetarian, does that mean you’re gay? or punk? or goth? oooh, so you’re one of those that throw molotovs on MCD! oooh, a vegetarian
Where did I say that in my last post? Nope, I don’t think that about vegetarians at all. Maybe just you Dacho, maybe just you 
While Dacho was an angry veggie, the next commenter, known as Vegan, was a VIOLENT veggie. Observe.
Careful. I may not eat meat, dairy or eggs. I may not wear leather or fur or down. But I’d happily string you up in a slaughterhouse, shoot you in the head with a bolt gun, miss the right spot and leave you conscious while I slit your throat, let you struggle while you bleed out, carve your sorry ass up and pepper it with poison, package it up all shiny and nice and send it to grocery stores for people just like you to enjoy.
You may just get more than you bargained for…
You want ecoterrorism?
So I think sea kittens are a retarded idea, and I’m about to become a package of ground beef for some bachelors hamburger helper? I would say the above response of death and terrorism is a pretty reasonable response, wouldn’t you?
And my last Angry Veggie, Irmiez also was a bit ‘tarded in the head. He/She/It in the same paragraph says:
Soooo I’ve come up to the conclusion that your ancestors seriously were into eating each other, otherwise you wouldn’t be so stupid right now.
By the way, mmmm a fetus sounds so delicious right now.
I’m a vegetarian but don’t preach my beliefs to others. I don’t expect others to not eat meat. I don’t lecture people. I don’t care if you eat a burger in frnt of me, and I don’t agree with PETA’s ethics and marketing stance. You do your thing and I’ll do mine.
If anyone has a problem with that, Eat. Me.
Thank you Meghan, for bringing some intelligence and understanding where Dacho, Vegan and Irmiez brought retardation, a lack of understanding of satire, preconceptions, misconceptions, no sense of humour, and a total lack of spelling, grammar and sentance structure. Also, could I eat you even if I didn’t have a problem with what you said? You know, just saying.
Thank you angry veggies, for showing my readers how unreasonable you really are! It makes for a great post and wonderful fodder for controversy. I’m glad you only represent a fraction of the population, otherwise we’d have to eat you along with the rest of the PETArds. Maybe we should. Does ketchup go well with angry veggie?
I’d just like to say to the few angry veggies who are loud, arrogant pricks: Whatever it is in your life that you aren’t satisfied with, don’t take it out on others. You’ll be happier and healthier, okay?
How come I didn’t get all the angry comments you did? After all, I wrote my article about the PETArds before you. Really, I’m jealous.
Way to take on the angry veggies.
Stumbled.
John J Savo, the Authoring Auctioneer’s last blog post..The PETArds Have Done It Again
@John J Savo, the Authoring Auctioneer
I guess some of us have all the luck?
So much for Veggies being about peace and love.
Perhaps I’m wrong but shooting a person doesn’t seem to gel with the whole “live and let live” mentality that the Veggies I know live by.
And before you jump all over me Angry Veggies (who are no doubt still lurking hoping to take another swipe at my beloved Spaz) I was raised a Veggie by Veggies. The fact that I enjoy meat, now that the choice is mine, is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING CONCERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! But please do keep commenting. I can practically hear Spaz peeing with giddy delight!
SPAZ ROCKS!!!
Almost forgot!
Sorry if my “egging” Spaz on hurt any wittle ittle chicky wicky whom you no doubt want to save from my dinner plate.
Oh! Poached eggs for breakfast! No! Scrambled! NO WAIT!!! Sunny side up!!!!!!
I bet if you gave these guys some bacon they’d lighten up a bit.
moooooog35’s last blog post..Runaway Commando Junk
All well and good if you ask me but I still insist on going to bovine university! All though I think I’ll kidnap The Spaz and take him with me.
Oh em geeeeeee, I am so excited now, I actually affected totally random stranger to actually write a whole post about me, wheeee *egocentric*.
This is going to be a long one *sigh*
First of all, I didn’t know you were a psychologist so you could tell I’m unsatisfied with my life. If you are, well… Get another job, cause you suck at this one, I’m satisfied more than ever (and no, not because of my diet). And I do understand humour and sarcasm excellent, but you just went over the line of a good taste.
“Whatever it is in your life that you aren’t satisfied with, don’t take it out on others.” – says the psychologist who took it out on whole organisation and their supporters, for no apparent reason.
And I can’t really say anything about your comment on my first quote, since you apparently didn’t undersand it. You DID NOT climb your way up to the top of the food chain, your (and mine) ancestors did. You’re just buying already slaughtered meat.
On second quote, you said – nothing like a bloody piece of meat. So you say fetuses consist ooof, i dunno, sand, if they’re not meat?
About 80% soy thing, here’s some source I ran into – http://www.answers.com/topic/soy , but if you still feel that’s not enough, I can look up another source (here’s a quote – “Today some 95 percent of the soy meal used in the United States is consumed by meat-, egg-or dairy-producing animals.”).
“And I always thought that dad used his belt.”
Well now, this would explain why are YOU so bitchy and angsty, and taking it out on random people you have nothing in common with.
And sorry, “problems” you mentioned in your last post aren’t funny AT ALL. You are basically laughing in the face of everyone that is trying to actually do some good to this planet and it’s residents. I don’t find that funny from any point of view.
About my “lack of spelling, grammar and sentAnce structure.” – not everyones first language is english, you know… There are people who live, for example, in EUROPE (*GASP!*), and speak, you know, some OTHER language (OMG THERE ARE OTHER LANGUAGES?? :O ).
Hm, maybe now I should start bitching about pedos and child molesters. Only if you promise you’re write another post about me, pretty please?
@John J Savo – Because you’re actually polite and civilised, not being a cunt.
@Vyolet – I actually am the “live and let live” kind of person. But if someone bashes on my lifestyle and makes fun of it, I’m gonna speak up. Or you just crawl under your bed when someone says something bad about you, and makes fun of you?
@midget – Sometimes people tend to forget that I was once an omnivore, too.
@Vyolet
Oh, I’m so giddy, I barely made it to the toilet!
@moooooog35
They’d at least know what they were missing.
@Ralphy
Maybe we should just send Dacho there?
@dacho
You know, you should get all of your angry veggie friends to come here and tell me what they think of me. THAT would rock!
Don’t ask any people who happen to be vegetarian though – they won’t get what all the fuss is about. Just you and your angry angry veggies will do.
Actually, I got you some publicity, I posted this on a veggie forum
I see you’re still into psycology, but this time it’s parapsychology, too bad suck at mind reading too, they DO get what a senseless being you are :[
So, both you and midget think all the veg*ns were veg*ns since birth. Well, see, I stopped eating meat when I was 15, so yeah, I do know what I’m “missing”.
@dacho
Much appreciated Dacho. I wish that I could send some traffic your way too, but I’m pretty sure all my readers speak and read english.
I’m starting to think more and more that all of this is just your way to get even more readers :S
Yea, sometimes I’m a bit slow :]
“Thank you Meghan, for bringing [...] a total lack of spelling, grammar and sentance structure.”
^ I laughed out loud at this part! “Sentance”! :’D
Oh dear, that one will keep me going for a while…
By the way, you inverted two of my “sentances” in the quote. Just saying.
And I stand by what I said in my previous post. Although one thing I didn’t address is this: not all of us ecoterrorists are members of PETA. Believe it or not, PETA just isn’t hard-core enough for my breed of vegan. They wanted Michael Vick’s dogs put down instead of re-homed, and they sponsor certain kinds of animal testing. That’s just not acceptable to me.
Possibly the only thing we agree about is that “sea kittens” makes every non-omnivore on the planet look like a fucking idiot. (That is, every non-omni who actually associates with PETA, which I don’t. Bully for me.)
@John J Savo, the Authoring Auctioneer
I can’t speak for all vegetarians and vegans, but I personally didn’t comment on yours because you didn’t poke fun at all non-omnivores… just PETA, which I’m fine with. I poke fun at them regularly, although I think “sea kittens” really has to take the cake.
You kept on-topic and didn’t run off spouting poor satire about killing and eating vegetarians. And what’s more, you actually wrote rather well. I even laughed at some parts.
In other words, I’ve got no beef with you.
No pun intended.
@Vegan
So you still want to shoot spikes in my head and grind me up for store bought meat?
Terrorist indeed!
@mindofspaz
Actually if you want a clarification, it’s a bolt, not a spike, and I said carve, not grind. You know, Spaz Chops. Sound good to you?
I don’t really like the term “terrorist” or “ecoterrorist” but if the shoe fits you should wear it, right? But I don’t sabotage flights or sprinkle anthrax in envelopes… it’s so crass. Not to mention, terrorism is aimed for the most part at the innocent, or the property of the guilty, which is SO lazy and ignorant.
I use graphic, hopefully terrifying images and ideas to make people think (SPECIFIC people). I haven’t ever strung anyone up, human or otherwise, and chopped them up for meat. Get real! I was going for effect, genius. Although I won’t lie, I’ve often wished that doing so didn’t clash so horribly with my beliefs.
Incidentally, why does it make me a terrorist to threaten you with the same treatment you give your food each day, by proxy? These animals kick, scream, and suffer. You drool and munch and ask for another helping. You’re the true terrorist in my opinion. I’ve never killed for my cause, and never would, but you fund and participate in the breeding and subsequent genocide of many species of your fellow animals, to satisfy some speciesist sense of entitlement and to fill your belly with rotting carcass.
@Vegan
I wonder if you’re so angry because you don’t get enough protein in your diet?
By the way, if the carcass is starting to rot just give it to the dogs. Nothing but fresh meat for us humans!
You know what you need to do? Go out into the woods and give a grizzly bear a big hug. When he tries to eat you, ask him why he’s being so mean to a fellow animal?
People are hilarious.
Miss Milk’s last blog post..Head Split.
Upon reading the comments already here… this lot give even better (and *snore* LONGER) rants than I do. I don’t think I’m needed here any more.
Miss Milk’s last blog post..Head Split.
@Ralphy – Lmao, would you please elaborate what do proteins have to do with anger? And yea, cause we aaaaall know, meat is ZE ONLY source of proteins!
Why do people tend to bring up really, REALLY stupid arguments when cornered :/ Grizzlys don’t talk (at least not in a human-undarstandable language). Grizzlys are carnivores, therefore – they DON’T have a choice, unlike humans. You try to mock him/her, but you’re just making even bigger idiot out of yourself =/
@dacho
Um I don’t know what planet you come from but on the planet I live on grizzly bears are omnivores. Is your sky purple? or possibly just clouded by the flying spaghetti monster? As for your last sentANce I’m not too sure what you’re trying to say?
@Vegan
Yup, I’m a real idiot all right. I really misspelled “sentAnce” by mistake too
I come from planet where animals can feel pain, and people have choice not to torture and kill them, but they still do. On that planet, people can get proteins from other sources than meat. As for my last sentence, I’m saying that when you’re mocking Vegan, you’re making an idiot out of yourself, cause none of your “arguments” are valid. See, even in my comment you ignored the parts where I was right, and held onto the part where I made a mistake so you could mock me, and get attention off of your ignorance.
haha Brilliant post. IF it was me I would just ban the IP address of the annoying commenter. Keep up the awesome posts.
Nivelo’s last blog post..[VIDEO]Dog Malfunction
I am working on a project for school (undergraduate college) on the philosophical issue of the moral status of other species, so I know a little about it. I agree that the position you argue against, that is giving other animals human rights, is absurd. But I also think most animal rights advocates would agree with you on that as well.
It does not seem that the animal rights position supports giving animals constitutional or inalienable rights, precisely because almost all (and perhaps literally all) modern ethical theories recognize that those rights are a convention, created by us to uphold ethical principles, and do not exist inherently in the fabric of the universe somehow.
Rather, the perhaps-misnamed “animal rights” position is simply this: our most basic concepts of ethics hold that causing unnecessary suffering is a bad thing. Because many other animals have the capacity to suffer, physically and psychologically, to the same level of intensity as humans, our unthinking assumption of not taking their suffering seriously is a form of prejudice, with a similar psychological basis to prejudices against groups of humans, which philosophers call “speciesism.”
Once we rethink this assumption, it is difficult to find a justification for using species alone as the relevant characteristic to decide whether a being should be given ethical consideration. I unfortunately don’t have the time to go into each possible justification for speciesism, but I HIGHLY recommend this short essay by Peter Singer, based on his book Animal Liberation, which started the entire animal rights movement:
http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer02.pdf
I also recommend Richard Dawkins’ very short essay against speciesism:
http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/dawkins01.pdf
Again, since rights are a convention, recognizing that we should include other species’ well-being in our ethical deliberations would not mean that we should give them the same rights as normal adult humans – because their well-being is different, so those rights would not result in their well-being. This is exactly the same reason we do not give the rights of normal adult humans to human children or the intellectually disabled – their well-being is different, so those rights would not result in their well-being.
Most important, if we cannot find a justification for speciesism, the suffering that we cause literally BILLIONS of equally-sentient nonhuman animals every year becomes one of the most important issues of our time:
http://www.meat.org
…and all the fact-sources at:
http://www.hsus.org/farm/resources/research
I hope this is a good start for your exploration of this important and very interesting issue.
Best wishes,
Mark D.
@Nivelo – Good thing it wasn’t you, cause that would make no sense whatsoever. I have dynamic IP, it changes every 24 hours, or when I manually reconnect.
“..their well-being is different, so those rights would not result in their well-being.”
Well said Mark.
Dacho, give Spaz a break- this is absolutely NOT the first post he’s offended others with -he’s a dick sometimes but really just a lovable guy.(In the platonic sense).
You should check out Chelle B’s site if you want to get offended,- she probably already has something in the works for you!
Kevin John’s last blog post..The $35,000 toilet?
Yea, I figured ( a bit too late though xD ) what’s this all about.
Wow, that’s quite the pot you’ve stirred. Thanks for the shout out on your blog, I appreciate it
It was meant to be a light hearted comment during a serious debate and if I had known it would have been critiqued I would have checked the spelling and grammar a little better (it’s not that I can’t spell, it’s that I’m lazy.) Anyways, it’s an agree to disagree thing. You eat your hamburger. I’ll eat my veggie burger.
Meghan’s last blog post..Dirty Little Secret
Stopping by to say woot !!
dani’s last blog post..Poop Brush Anyone ? 1/23/09
I have come to this place to hijack this blog and proclaim my love for meat.
Also, hail satan.
Well, the blog was funny. I tried to read the comments and got bored. Why so much anger over the stupid sea kittens? This is ridiculous.
@Nivelo
But it’s the commenter(s) that make this so FUNNY!
@Mark
That’s a long well thought out comment. But the whole point of this is satire – this wasn’t actually supposed to be serious
@Kevin John
Nothing like a little controversy to stir up the traffic!
@Meghan
I hope I sent you some traffic!
@dani
Woot!
@Assbandit
Hey, whichever god you like man
@Knight
Isn’t it just? Blood boiling over nothing
I draw the line at eating a fetus, but a big juicy hamburger I am all for. You are so right some of these people take their vegatarianism way to serious. Cows are not put on this earth to grow up get married and have babies. They are here because they are yummy.
I really don’t care if someone chooses to be a vegatarian but don’t judge me because I choose not too.
I think Dacho needs to get laid.
lbluca77’s last blog post.."In a matter of, in a matter of days, we’ll find love"
@lbluca77 – How do you know fetuses are not yummy? ._. And actually (woah, another psychologist!), getting laid 2nd time today is a bit too much, even for me :/
And about taking vegetarianism serious… I guess there’s something you believe in. Be that god, family, whatever. How would you feel if someone attacked your beliefs just because he felt to, and even without valid arguements? It’s not about the vegetarianism, it’s about bashing your beliefs.
Sometimes I wish the Earth would turn into a wasteland already. Then we’ll see if the Vegetable Zealots can survive.
Iron Pugilist’s last blog post..The Great Escape
Oh yea, I love the “what if” dumb comments. omg liek, what if, ya know, what if you were stuck on a desert island, ya know, and there was only cows ya know, wuld ya eat em ya know?
And apparently, your wish will come true much sooner with the whole meat industry than without it.
I really do not want to see this keep up because dacho was really never attacked.You and vegan have proven to me that the way you act and the way you talk just reinforced what most people don’t like about zealots. I feel you both are. I posted about sea kittens after John J. and actually had a commenter tell me to commit suicide. Right up your alley dacho and vegen. Tell someone to kill themselves because you disagree. I was also called a whiny bitch who wanted others to clean up the mess in Congo, Zimbabwe and Darfur, little knowing I am a humanitarian and run a charity website, not only for humans but for animals. Save your rants for the rallies I am sure you attend and let us all enjoy our humor with a big fat steak and a cold bottle of beer, you know made from plants.
ettarose’s last blog post..The New Math Is Here!
Spaz, looks like you’ve brought out the spaz in these wacked out vegans types. Ha ha. I love hearing them bitch and moan while trying to tear down our diets and justify their feeble existence.
I have one more thing to say, that I’m sure you’ve all hear before: If God didn’t want us to eat, why are they made out of meat?
Chowner’s last blog post..Jeopardy categories I would totally dominate
@ettarose – Yea, calling someone names because of their lifestyle is like a tea party, not attacking.
@Chowner – If “G”od didn’t want us to eat your mom, why is she made out of meat?
@Chowner
Yea, I’ve never got so many comments on a post! It’s great!
@dacho
Dood, I’d TOTALLY eat chowners mom. I heard she’s hot, and that she returns the favor
*Peeks in and tiptoes out*
Will it never end?
Well, at least for your sake Spaz I hope it continues. I hope you don’t flush for number 1 or your water bill is going to be so high all you’ll be able to afford are veggies, but not the really good organic kind.
Yo spaz, I hope these help. It’s from a pal named Lexer.

Iron Pugilist’s last blog post..The Great Escape
@dacho: How would I feel if someone attacked something I believed in you ask? I would probably feel the way I do right now that you bashed my belief that I think it is ok to eat meat and that I choose to eat meat.
If you would have read my comment correctly you would have seen that it said this “I really don’t care if someone chooses to be a vegatarian but don’t judge me because I choose not too.”
I don’t have a problem with vegatarians, but I have a problem when someone judges me because I CHOOSE not to be one.
lbluca77’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday
I replied to this part “You are so right some of these people take their vegatarianism way to serious.”, sorry for misunderstanding.
@lbluca77
A simple “I choose to eat meat because I have no problem with it” would suffice. Making statements like “cows are put on the planet because they’re yummy!” is designed to provoke people the same way a vegetarian writing, “cow and chicken killers should eat fetuses!” is designed to provoke.
Frankly, what you eat is between you and your maker. But there’s no harm in being polite about your dietary preferences, is there? And before someone jumps me on it, that goes to both the omnivores and the vegetarian/vegans.
@Richard
Richard, you’re putting a voice of reason onto a post designed to provoke. Personally, I enjoy being told that someone who won’t even drink milk because it comes from an animal wants to kill me and sell me as steak. It’s too funny!
@Ralphy
I get plenty of protein, thank you very much. And I get it without the accompanying animal fat, bad cholesterol, antibiotics and synthetic hormones that you get from your meat. Maybe you’re so thick because the blood vessels leading up to your brain are clogged with fat?
Carcass starts to rot as soon as it dies. Wake up and smell the offal.
Why the fuck would I hug a bear? I don’t want to eat him, but that doesn’t mean I want to have a cup of coffee with him. Just like I don’t want to eat you, but I certainly don’t want to be your buddy.
@mindofspaz
The important distinction here, Spaz, is that I WANT to. I haven’t, and I won’t. Whereas omnivores everywhere WANT to eat dead animal, and so they DO. See the distinction?
@Vegan
Are you still here? In any event, I do want to eat dead animal. Much prefer it over live animals. Except maybe oysters, they’re still alive when I shuck the shell and let them slide into my mouth where I chew it.
Funny, for being still alive it doesn’t move around much in my mouth. Huh.
Anyways, thanks for helping get these comments to 50. I’ve never been much outside of 30 before! hurrah!
