[Ben-San]

I knew someone who thought that refined sugar contained government mind control drugs and refused to sweeten with anything other than honey or self-pressed fruit juice.

Now who's being naive, Ben-San?

Also, as a non-vegan, I can't speak for them, but IIRC the issue with refined sugar isn't that animal bits are involved, it's that refined sugar is less natural, involves horrible industrial sugar-making techniques practiced by cruel corporations, &c.

It's because of filters made of bone charcoal, as far as I've ever heard.

Oh! Wow, I had no idea. That's... wild.

Thanks for edifying me; this is useful and mildly disquieting to know.

I'm glad my SO follows the "what I don't know" school of vegetarianism. Because so many delicious things have chicken stock in them.

I'm imagining that Pat gets an infection and dies. And then he goes to hell and gets his 1984 Subaru Brat. Pat in hell. Boy, that would piss him off.

I think hell for Pat would involve attending every event sponsored by a radio station with Z, Hot, or The X in its name. Also, there would always be kids playing in his yard. With no shoes on eating fudgecicles and scratching his Brat with their bikes.

They'd kick his ass outta hell.

Let's imagine every possible scenario and then when Chris posts the comic tomorrow we can accuse him of stealing our ideas.

Good Lord, like the guy who only drinks rainwater and everclear because fluoridation is a russkie plot to corrupt the sanctity of our natural bodily fluids.

Yeeehaw!

The saddest thing is that I am actually from a town that, as far as I am aware, still refuses to fluoridate its water.  I dunno about commie plots, but if someone told them gay people like fluoride they would probably hold out for another couple of decades.

[arkabee]

i think vegans taste better than atkins people,
but they are _much_ harder to cook.

gotcha beat there, Andy. I'm from a damn STATE that won't add ANYTHING to the water. So the drinking water isn't even treated with chlorine, let alone fluoride. Damn dirty hippies.

Basically we drink rainwater that washes down from the mountains On the big island, outside of the towns, people keep cisterns to catch and store rainwater. Luckily there are very low levels of pollution here, but still we have to give our kids prescription vitamins for the fluoride. It's asinine.

In some New Mexican towns I've spent time in there is so much fluoride in the water that many of the citizens' teeth are brownish and yellowish.  Perfectly healthy, I hear, but tainted by the commie fluoride.

I've seen people with gross teeth everywhere I lived, but I would have thought that there would be guidelines as to the level. Weird.

Teeth here are especially nasty, though - so many old asian people with, like 4 teeth.
