Description

A veganism is the hobby of rejecting all animal products while enthusiastically inviting friends to the barbecue they refuse to attend. They preach moral high ground yet scrutinize the smallest ingredient for hidden dairy like a forensic detective. Claiming ethical purity, they become the most passionate critics in any plant-based recipe contest. Bearing the banner of social virtue, they evangelize salads to hardened carnivores at every dinner table.

Definitions

  • The alchemical quest of those who venerate the absence of meat and stake their lives on tofu cheese.
  • A ritual provoking cold sweat under neighbors’ gazes by shunning animal blood from one’s diet.
  • A hyper-aware condition causing pangs of guilt at merely seeing a carton of milk on a stroll.
  • A pedagogical approach to vegetarianism demanding explanations from harvest to molecular nutrition.
  • A market analyst’s hobby, preaching ethical choices while mastering nut butter supply chains.
  • Waving the flag of environmental protection yet trapped in cognitive mazes over imported avocado miles.
  • A sharpshooter of detail, preaching animal rights yet furious at any leftover plastic packaging.
  • The solemn pouring of soy milk as if offering holy water in place of dairy.
  • The split personality of delivering a vegan manifesto by day and heating frozen dumplings by night.
