Making fun of vegan/veggie food has always been a walk in the park. Vegans eat tofu for breakfast instead of eggs, massage kale for lunch, make sausages from something called vital wheat gluten - the list goes on. And their burgers? You can actually see the carrots that make up some of those frozen, pre-cooked veggie burgers. Some of them even have a green hue. "So, do you only eat grass?" Maybe! My "burger" IS a sickening shade of green... For years, meat eaters were easily able to ... continue reading...
Aaron Rodgers Eats Vegan Burgers
So, Is Aaron Rodgers Vegan? If you listen to comedian Pete Holmes' podcast, You Made It Weird, you probably know more about him than you do about some of your closest friends.

What if it is simply too scary to jump off into the deep end and start cooking with tofu or *gasp* seitan?
