VEGAN GREEN WEENIE OF THE YEAR: Famous California vegan restaurateurs under fire over revelation they eat meat.
Steve Hayward of Power Line quips, “vegan death threat? What’s that like anyway? A sharpened cucumber? A frozen tofu brick through the window with rotting cabbage to knock you out? ‘Vegan death threat’ ranks right up there with ‘French military offensive’ on the oxymoron scale.”
Considering the terrorism done in the name of ALF and ELF (Animal and Earth Liberation Front, respectively) and other eco-extremists over the last ten years, I’m not sure I’d be so flippant about their dangers. Similarly, it doesn’t sound like the restaurant owners considered what sort of retribution they would face from their (presumably former) customers when they announced (via a blog post) they were no longer vegans.
