 Student op-ed: ‘Toxic masculinity’ responsible for hatred of vegans
College Fix Staff •March 17, 2018


From the student paper that brought you “Your DNA is an Abomination” comes a piece to notify you that any distaste you hold for vegans and veganism may be rooted in that nasty ‘ol “toxic masculinity.”

Writing in the Texas State University Star, Zach Ienatsch claims those who harbor a “passionate hatred for plant-based diets” (and those who partake in them) are “common and accepted” because of TM (toxic masculinity) and “a culture of violence.”

Pish-tosh! It has nothing to do with toxic masculinity, it's as simple as disdain for pretentious elitist wed eaters.
This is not food.

This is not food.

Right.
It's coffee.

[Free Vulcan]

The tinfoil is strong with this one.

Nonsense. Vegans just tend to be liberal assholes.

It's like this:  What if meat eaters acted like Vegans?

You die if you eat only plants.

There isn't enough vitamin B12 in plants to survive long term.

So these idiots who demand that only eating plants is "natural" are dead wrong. You have to take B12 supplements (or eat food that someone else supplemented with B12) to get enough to survive.

So what kind of "natural" diet requires the use of a manufactured supplement to make it usable???

The social construct of "toxic masculinity" has encouraged veganism.

It's encouraged a lot of bad things, like fatherless homes.

Right.

Oh, I thought it was tea

Where's his pink hat?

Pick a mess of roots, clean em, chop em 1/4-1/8" pieces, throw em on a cookie sheet and roast em dark golden brown in the oven... pass em through a hand-crank coffee grinder... A passable substitute for coffee.

Nothing fancy... Just been broke enough a time or two... have a taste for it now.

Where the hell did you find my picture Frank?  Dammit there's privacy laws man!

[GrouchoTex]

Naw, toxic masculinity has nothing to do with my dislike of vegans.
It's their smugness.

A vegan and an atheist walk into a bar.
How did I know?

They told me within 30 seconds after walking in.

This is not food.

It could be wine, though.

[Frank Cannon]

It could be wine, though.

Eh.....no. No it can't. Wine made from anything other than grapes is the equivalent to drinking prison hooch made in a toilet.

[mountaineer]

I tried to make dandelion wine when I was a kid. It was pretty bad, I admit.
