    Not sure if you’ve met a vegan before, but that’s kinda vegans being vegan.

    Yes, an idea. A concept. Something new, that you’re not used to. Something big.

    Ahh yes, I take another drink. Every time someone goes out of their way with no nexus what-so-ever to take a swing at California, I take a drink. TW is turning me into an alcoholic.

    I’ve met a few. Worked with one recently.

    Surprisingly they can have a civil discussion about their choice

    Well yeah, a lot of people resort to gutter humor when talking about things they aren’t used to. Like going vegan. But again, it’s not often we get such an extreme point of view on TW. I mean... this is huge. I can definitely sink my teeth into this one. I am open all the way.

    My ex is a vegan. Cooked great food. Was respectful of my needs as well. These are not the vegans I lol at.

    They’re generally that type, I just meant that there are very few vegans in hiding.

    Meeting them tends to go like this..

    “Hey, nice to meet you. I’m James.”
    “Hi James! You too, I’m vegan but you can call me Todd.”

    Because of the general stereotype that they advertise it.

    There is truth to that stereotype we were referring to earlier.

    I love a good ribeye marinated in daddy hinkles, sprinkled with McCormick smokehouse maple seasoning way to much to ever do without.

    Depends on how hungry I am and if I’m stranded in the Andes.

    I thought all cows are vegan. Doesn't that make the leather vegan?

    I'm familiar with the Rivian. Looks like an amazing truck if true. Can't afford it unfortunately. Looking for a used Tacoma.

    There are actually lots of economical, health and environmental reasons veganism makes most sense. The energy costs alone should make us all want to make the switch (lots more energy to raise 100 calories of beef than same calories of plant-based foods). Props to you on this quest.

    Bollinger Motors also , but not in production yet. I'm sure it wont be as affordable as a used Tacoma either.

    You should link it in here. Even though this thread initially started a shit storm of sarcasm (guilty :anonymous:), believe me, it’s generated a lot of viewing. It will probably get more traffic.
