    My MIL isn’t addicted to Facebook, but fell deep into vegan/plant-based stuff lately and says the same thing about doing her own research and not blindly believing stuff. I already knew a lot of the stuff she has been pushing on us was complete BS but the kicker was when she said meat and dairy cause autism

      It’s annoying as hell, because there are plenty of sane and rational arguments to cut meat out of your diet (cost, just for starters). And then you’ve got the woo-woo types who insist the vegan from Scott Pilgrim was a real guy.

      she said meat and dairy cause autism

      If only! Imagine what the world would be like if all the most obnoxious chud internet personalities endlessly pushing the Offal Diet or Three Steaks a Day or whatever took it down about eight notches and got deeply into model trains, instead.

      Peta said that and has never once apologized for it.
