Roommate is on a bacon kick lately. If I'm even on the same floor as the kitchen when he's cooking it, my hair and all my clothes smell like it. He's had bacon for dinner three nights in a row.

He seems to eat the same thing for like a week straight and then move on to something else, but not like, making a big batch of something and eating on it for a while... just cooks the same stuff.

I do this.

Go to hell and die!

Pretty much my favourite way to wrap up a conversation.

Customer: thanks so much, have a nice day!
Me: you too! And go to hell and die!

.... That would be fun.

From a nurse.

I saw a women on stage last night eat live worms and roaches in the name of art...I thought it was gross and my boyfriend who was filming the event stopped filming...We probably came off as 'vegan hard core people'...

To be fair the women also took a staple gun to her torso...This was a valentine's show after all!

Is there a reason they said that? That actually is mostly true for me.

But for anyone who knows they are B12 deficient or are at risk, I would not use nutritional yeast as a main source. Here's why: First of all, sunlight degrades B12, and all/most nutritional yeast is stored and sold in clear plastic bottles. Secondly, much of the B12 we consume orally is destroyed in the stomach. If you need B12 not just to support your general health but because you are deficient, you may be deficient not because you're not eating enough animal products but because you're one of the many people whose intestines do not secrete intrinsic factor (or enough of it) which is required for B12 absorption. if you lack intrinsic factor entirely, the ONLY way you can absorb adequate B12 may be through sublingual or injectable B12... not via the digestive tract. If you have very little IF, you should still be doing sublingual drops/tabs or injectable B12. taking tons of oral sources (food, vitamin supplements) of B12 is not unsafe but it's unlikely to get your levels back where they need to be. I see a lot of people who are told to "take more B12" by their docs but are unable to get their B12 levels back to normal just via food sources. Remember that the body stores B12 for years, so if you find you are deficient and you *know* your diet has contained plenty of B12 (as it the case with most people who consume animal products) then most likely you have been having absorption problems for quite some time. i guess i could summarize this as: don't dismiss the possibility of insufficient intrinsic factor (aka "pernicious anemia" ... a b12 deficiency that food, including nutritional yeast, is unlikely to rectify)

I find this more funny than annoying, but:

A few weeks ago I was out with friend's and ordered a burger with a boca patty. The burger I ordered just comes with pickles, onions and lettuce, and normally the waiter will just repeat back the "with a boca patty, right?" to me. But this time they asked if I wanted cheese. I told them no. Then they asked if I wanted bacon on it. It took a lot of will power to not start laughing. Yes, I am ordering a vegan burger and I want bacon on it. The waiter proceeded to ask everyone else if they wanted bacon on their burgers as well, so I'm assuming for some reason they were suppose to be pushing bacon for some reason that day (since I've been there a bunch of times and they've never done that), but I was still greatly amused being asked if I wanted bacon. The cheese I can understand, but bacon? hahaha
