Dan Piraro is Full of Shit

That's a comic from Bizarro, written by Dan Piraro and which is basically being plastered all over my Facebook feed by every vegan and person who wishes they were vegan.

The comments were even funnier than the comic, although I already made a vow I wouldn't plaster this blog with Facebook comments.  I'll just say there was a lot of references to the China Study.

Whatever the case, it's full of shit.

Seriously, though.  What kind of mentality does it take to look at the way we eat and say, "Hmmm... well, we are clearly suffering from a large number of diet-related illnesses.  Let's look at our diet... hmmm... we're eating loads of processed foods, loads of sugar, bloating ourselves on wheat, corn, and soy, and have largely switched animal fat out for plant fats... IT MUST BE THE ANIMAL FAT THAT'S KILLING US."

The answer is a vegan mentality.  When you're a vegan, it doesn't matter how idiotic what you're stating is when you actually think about it... if it promotes veganism, it's The TruthTM.
