Insane. Also probably a asshole.
Meh, no crazier than anyone with the same number of bumper stickers expressing the a unified opinion and not as crazy as the religious folks who have entire passages of their scripture spelled out on their cars (usually vans) with individual letter stickers.
I don’t think they know what gluten is.
It’s what he craves.
It has electrolytes! :-P
God dammit, I just watched that movie for the first time. With my housemates, like two weeks ago.
I mean I don’t disagree with any individual stickers.
There’s agreeing with the stickers, then agreeing with the STICKERS.
Ohio plates and a p&g sticker check out
Honestly, I kinda get it. It’s getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I’m happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.
I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.
But it’s not like it’s hard to find things that aren’t gluten free though. That’s like, most of the grocery store.
I’m not sure I’d call things that aren’t fried in lard “not real food”.
It isn’t real unless somebody suffered.
It’s great for coeliacs, I’m not a huge fan of a lot of gluten free stuff (I’m not a coeliac but I have a parent and child who are and consequently eat a fair bit of gluten free food). Mostly it’s shit cause it’s low effort. With the right flours a ton of stuff is actually good, but mostly homemade. Some of the store bought breads are passable now (though pricey and I doubt anyone buys it out of preference if not a coeliac). What’s annoying as fuck is having to tell your 5 year old they can’t have something because something that in no way needs gluten in it contains gluten.
Meh. No real commitment here. I bet this person also likes beef. Pick something to be crazy about and stick to it.
Let’s swap their lard for tallow and see if they notice.
Someone is on the way to Flavortown!
lol of course this is in my home state of Ohio…
Where the only lean is in their suspension
Used to live near someone whose car was covered in “Meat is Murder - Animal Holocaust” stickers.
I bet the pig butts guy is more pleasant.
Eh, anyone who goes out of their way to shit on other people’s dietary preferences is unpleasant in my book.
“meat is murder” is directly attacking other’s dietary preferences. The person in the picture looks like they are sharing what they love with the world.
If one feels attacked over what someone else loves, they probably need some self reflection.
I mean, sure. Theoretically.
Same as how “meat is murder” isn’t actually an attack, it’s just sharing their thoughts on ethics passively on the back of their car.Realistically, we can probably guess that the person with a lot of “meat is murder” stickers is probably about as likely to be the sort of person to say something shitty to someone eating a burger as this person is to loudly proclaim they eat twice as much meat a day to cancel out a vegan, and that people who are gluten free are just following a fad or attention seekers eating fake bread.
They don’t love gluten. Good dough, sure, but I’ve never gone “man, that gluten is unreal”.
I love seitan, as do many people, which is just wheat gluten.
But you wouldn’t call it gluten. You’d call it seitan, like you just did.
I actually do call it gluten IRL.
Beet is burder.
I would probably road rage if someone was talking smack about beets.
Any of my root vegetable homies.
What if my dietary preference was cannibalism? Then would it be okay to shit on my dietary preference?
Not eating animals isn’t a dietary stance, it’s an ethical stance.
What’s this ethical stance about?
Is it about what you eat?
Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?You really chose the person saying “vegans aren’t assholes, it’s the preachy people who are the problem” to get preachy at didn’t you?
I am more than happy to be preachy about ending the suffering and abuse of literally billions of animals.
Listen, I appreciate someone who is at least not hostile towards vegans, but I hate this whole “I respect what vegans eat, so they should respect what I eat”. Sir, you are eating an animal that was most likely tortured and abused its entire life up until the point it was murdered
It’s just about the timing and choice of person you go preachy on is all.
I do not give a damn about your dietary preferences. At all, in the slightest.And so who do you choose to annoy? Obviously the person saying vegans aren’t the worst, but just “people”.
It’s like you’re trying to persuade people that they’re wrong when they say that vegans, like all people, have a range of “chill” to “insufferable”.
Don’t worry though, you have not shaken my beliefs. I just think you in particular are insufferable on this topic.
I’m not a vegan, and I’m also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it’s not entirely a dietary stance, that’s just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there’s not much fighting to be had there.
Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we’re talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn’t really relevant to a conversation about food.
It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it. This car reads to me like someone ragging on people who have peanut or shellfish allergies.
I have a shellfish allergy and I rag on me all the time. The one that really sucked was developing an egg allergy. I love eggs (and before someone suggests duck eggs, they were the initial trigger. I was probably somewhat intolerant before because they gave me heartburn and some digestion issues, but 3 duck eggs caused projectile vomit, and I haven’t been able to eat eggs since).
It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it.
Umm, source?
There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven’t really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.
While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I’d die on.
No the vast majority do it for a health fad
Celiacs are very minimal and you can look at how impossible it was to find gluten free food until it became a health fad as evidence
As someone who can’t eat wheat, I hope it continues. My life has improved dramatically since it got popular.
If we were placing bets, I would put money down that his love of pigs is to shit on the Muslim community. I don’t have any hard evidence to that effect, but I dunno. I just have a feeling.
To give the dude some credit, a while back it was kinda in-style to hate on gluten or think you’re intolerant to it, so maybe this is just a reaction to that?
Yes, the root of the “backlash” was people avoiding gluten after it became somewhat of a health fad. Somehow it became perceived as an elitist affectation, like “they think they’re better than us! They’re too good for our regular food!!”. I don’t really get why people care so much about what other people don’t want to eat though.
No, he’s a gluten for puneshment.
anyone who is that passionate about shitting on others will be i sufferable tbh
the amount of stickers, humorous or not, one has in their car is directly proportional to how crazy they are.
A lot of people don’t like bumper stickers. I don’t mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It’s like a little sign that says ‘Hey, let’s never hang out.’
Demetri Martin
I have one anarchy sticker on my car. How crazy am I?
just slightly
It’s fully trolling and hilarious. All for it. 🥓🥩🍗🍖🧈🍞
Really makes it for me, that depending on which stickers you look at, they might be:
- vegan
- aggressively anti-vegan
- pig fucker
This is a truly amazing post. Really inspired writing. Thank you for making me actually lol and forcing my wife to listen to me read it out loud
