The fact that you would provide an illustration of "meat flakes" on a slog post titled "It�s Vegetarian Awareness Month" robs any credibility from you, Bethany... or do you just like pissing off us vegetarians? Can I pick the Stranger staff member that gets this severe beating??

I love pissing off vegetarians. It's almost as fun as pissing off Christians!

Those meat flakes look great, but something tells me I wouldn't like 'em.

The Australian Meat Pie Company is on the cute little downtown strip of Burien. Highly recommended for their -- wait for it -- meat pies. I didn't know they had vegetarian options. In fact, I'm a little skeptical. Maybe they mean "well, there's no meat in the Pepsi".

Thumbs up for "Vegetarian Awareness Month".

Never turn your back on a Vegetarian ... in October or any other scary month.

I'm writing down the names of everyone who mocks Vegetarians. So go ahead. Laugh it up. Oh, yes. Laugh it up...

I too laughed, and laughed, until I found out that my name was written on Elenchos's list. Oh no! The fear is in me. I have reformed my ways, and from now on will eat only whisky.

Really? End a post about Vegetarian Awareness month with a big closeup of meat? That's a hugely dickish move. Most vegetarians (this vegan included) don't bother omnivores about what they eat. We veg*ns try to live our lives in a way we feel makes sense, and we get giant pictures of meat shoved at our eyes. WTF.

Why are meatitarians so damn defensive? Honestly! I have never, ever, in the 18 years I've been a vegetarian, tried to proselytize over dinner. Yet every time I am forced by circumstance to explain why I'm not taking a helping of Steaming Hot Dead Thing - it's not that your cooking is bad, Aunt Edna, really - meat eaters have the same, exact response:

"I don't eat much meat."

As if I give a fuck. Why are you meat eaters all so universally knee-jerk defensive? Honestly! Let's make a deal: you shut the fuck up about what I (don't) eat, and I'll keep shutting the fuck up about what you eat. Like I have for the past eighteen. Long. Years.

I should amend my comments above:

I never proselytize. Not over dinner, not with a sinner, not in a house, not with a mouse, not in a car, not in a bar, nor in a hat with a cat. I never, ever proselytize.

Sutra is tasty business. It's $33 for price fixe menu. Considering that I had a lovely salad, really great soup, an entree and incredible desert all for $33, I felt like it was a bargain for local/organic/etc. food of that quality. Definitely worth checking out.

@12: Well Emily, everyone can't be you, can they? Some vegetarians like to "bother" us about what we eat every chance they get. I hate getting a big cunty vegetarian bitch shoved in MY face, telling me how to live my life and making judgments about my choices. I hate getting something delicious to eat and hearing "oh my god, are you really going to eat that!? I couldn't eat that because I'm a vegetarian". Yes bitch, I am. Shut the motherfuck up and get out of my goddamn life.

The meat flakes look gross though. I couldn't eat that because I'm against meat flakes.

Vegetarians are a great source of vitamins and minerals.

Sounds like your insecurities go way beyond someone else's ethical perspective.

Great, another herbivores vs. omnivores debate.

Vegetarians: eat what you wanna eat.
Vegans: eat what you wanna eat.
Omnivores: eat what you wanna eat.
Everybody: SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Hitler was a vegetarian. Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler. Therefore, vegetarianism is a liberal plot to destroy Israel and bring on a new Holocaust. Q.E.D., bitches!

@20: It sounds like you took that personally. Just let me eat in peace, seriously.
