Radical vegan rabble-rousing at work

Scene: in the galley with John, a co-worker

John, eying my lunch (frozen vegan burrito bowl): Is that vegan?
Me: Yeah.
John: What's the fat content? (pause) I have atherosclerosis.
Me: Yikes.
John: Yeah, I'm managing it. Vegan.
Me: 4 grams.
John: Wow, that's pretty good. (pause) Vegenaise?
Me: Yellow cap.
John: Me too. Let me know if that's any good.
Me: Will do.

We drift back to our desks.
End scene.

Yellow cap Vegenaise? I had to go see which variety it is.

Low fat or roasted garlic? They have some new flavors since I last visited their site.

Poog: That pizza looks good.

Me: I wonder if they have vegan cheese?

Poog:Vegan cheese...!!!???, I bet you're one of those crazy radical meat haters too?

Me:I don't believe in exploiting animals, damaging the environment, or endangering my own health

Poog: What's wrong with eating bacon!!!??? What are you...some kind of commie???? I'm proud of my massive canine teeth, my 376 triglycerides level and my XXX Yuge Eric & Donny Jr Safari Club Season Pass!!!

today I gave her some Kala Namek black salt and this recipe:

The recipe is crazy easy as long as you have the black salt. It really does taste like egg yolk from a fried egg.
