my eating disorder

The New York Times is has a Q & A session going on about veganism in general and in NYC in particular. It only took 16 comments for someone to declare veganism an illness.

Veganism is just another eating disorder - just another way for a mentally ill person to have absolute control over everything they eat. Oh no, I can’t eat out at a restaurant, the menu’s not vegan. Oh no, I can’t eat that, I don’t know if it’s got whey in it. Sound familiar to anybody who knows a vegan? It sounds just like an anorexic - an anorexic with a better excuse for their behavior.

We’re not vegetarians; we evolved eating meat and animal products. Does everybody today eat way too much meat? Yes, they do. Yes, that meat is bad for the environment, not to mention the terrible conditions most of the animals suffer through. But veganism isn’t the answer, just another sickness.

Always fun reading comments about being vegan. Reminds of how much i dislike people, in general.

The only eating disorder that i have is soy chai and potato chips. i would like to be rid of both but they are just so good.
