Mr. Meaty
So, yesterday, my roomate, Christa, was flipping through the channels on our TV, and got to that new show on Nickelodeon called Mr. Meaty. It's all about these kids that work at a fast food place in the mall called Mr. Meaty. In this particular episode, one of the kids got mad at the other one, and quit his job at Mr. Meaty. He went to work at Soy What. The people that worked at Soy What were probably vegetarians if not vegans. They were all portrayed as hippies (I'm not saying that I dislike hippies...they're pretty cool but not all vegs are hippies). The thing that upset me the most was that in the episode, the people that worked at Soy What were so deprived of meat that they turned to cannabilism on the new guy that worked there from Mr. Meaty. As if people are actually deprived of meat. That is so stupid. If veg*ns are portrayed this way on TV, no wonder people think that we're all nuts!

it's a common misconception from the 50's and 60's that people "need" meat, for example coming home on breaks my parents are always telling me i'm too skinny and if i get sick it's because i don't eat meat and this and that...scientifically baseless as everything with cells in it, like plants, must have protein as well, being that DNA RNA, hormones and all manner of organic structures contain proteins- there are amino acids which cannot be synthesized by the human body, 5 of them i believe, and these can all be supplemented from plant sources- what vegans really need to concern themselves with, especially females, is calcium intake and vitamin b12- as for cannibalism, that's borderline vegan racism, lol if such a thing exists, and i certainly agree that it portrays vegans in a negative way, shame on nick, i kind of like the idea of vegans being rebels however, even though it's far from the truth :P
