Welp, it happened again. Another (ex-)vegan gains prominence through a public admission of losing her veganism. A pseudo-vegan-nutrition-guru herself, Alex Jamieson declares “I’m not vegan anymore”. Who? You ask? She is the ex-girlfriend of Morgan Spurlock, the documentary filmaker who made Super Size Me. After that movie where he binged exclusively on McDonald’s food, Alex . . . → Read More: Another One Bites the Meat 
Recently the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) pulled a PETA-like stunt spewing forth the ethical pollution byproduct I’ve come to expect of the vegan industrial complex.

Look familiar? Vegans have been jumping on the bandwagon against the recent exposé of the so-called “pink slime”.

Zoiks Skoob! There’s a scary sounding ingredient lurking within our food! Double-check those Skooby Snacks because they may very well contain a protein called GLUTEN! WooOOOOoooOOo! . . . → Read More: It’s G-G-G-Gluten! The vegan diet is one of avoidance and people often come by it first through vegetarianism. Maybe it was a visceral reaction against eating animals but they soon find out that the non-direct parts are just as bad and go vegan. Well, sometimes. Anyway, but once you’ve had that taste of righteousness through eschew-ment there’s . . . → Read More: The Vegan Ladder 
Or at least that’s what Vegan Outreach (VO) and similar vegans think. A “tool to reduce suffering” is a mantra of theirs to guide their activism.
