The last time an ubervegan said ‘Meat is. murder’ to me, I said ‘You look as though you’d go well with some lima beans and a nice chianti’. For some reason the ubervegan departed shortly thereafter, and I’ve never seen him again. Such a pity.
Those sanctimonious Vegans are murdering innocent Plants that can’t even run away from them in self defense. I wish they could only see the hypocrisy of beating us Omnivores up for just eating as Nature designed us to do.
There is a subset of vegans called fruitarians that will eat only what naturally (or would fall naturally) from a plant; that is what can be harvested without killing or damaging the plant. Needless to say such a diet would be deficient in calcium, protein, iron, zinc, vitamin D, most B vitamins (especially B12), and essential fatty acids. One could not follow such a diet for long without supplements.
I once knew an uber vegan who had yellow-ish colored skin and looked sick. He wouldn’t even eat corn on the cob at a picnic because it had butter on it. Don’t know where he is today, probably 6 feet under somewhere.
The lesson of Brewster Rockit is that the future will be a lot like the past, the present and its future. (Otherwise, we couldn’t relate to the strip.)
A restaurant chain, The Good Earth, IIRC, served great veggie burgers in 1970s – 1990s SF Bay Area. They had locations elsewhere in CA at that time as well. Good Earth was a natural foods restaurant chain originally founded in Reno, Nevada, by William Galt and Nancy Galt.
Franchise locations in Santa Barbara, California, Berkeley, California, and San Francisco, California, were owned by Dean Stanley Ashby and family (wife Georgia Anne Ashby, and sons Aaron Stanley Ashby and Dean Stanley Ashby II).
The Galts sold the concept to General Mills in 1980. After expansion to more than 50 locations across the United States, the concept lost popularity. General Mills converted most of the restaurants into other chain restaurants they were operating, such as Red Lobster and Olive Garden. Most of the restaurants were located in California.
During the period in which Good Earth operated widely, it was “probably the most prominent chain example of a health-food concept”, according to industry trade journal Nation’s Restaurant News.
It was based in California at the time of the purchase by General Mills.
The popular tea served with meals and sold in bulk and packaged form to customers by the restaurants is still sold under the Good Earth brand as Good Earth Teas. It’s the most popular tea in our house, even beating out Earl Grey.
Problem I have with “vegans” is that they don’t seem to understand that humans have evolved to eat vegetables, greens, fruits and nuts…AND meat. It’s part of our natural diet no matter how you try to deny it.

Yep, same as we get Vegans, we got tv shows about surviving in the wild and eating all sorts of critters. Lots of choice. Enjoy.
