I’m not the best veg*n – a printed neologism meant to represent the vegetarian and vegan community – since I choose to:
- eat honey (vegans equate eating honey with drinking milk)
- own a leather sofa (Italian!)
- wear a jacket (also Italian!) with a collar made of raccoon fur
But I also haven’t preached a pro-veg*n lifestyle since I was in high school and a friend countered my PETA-inspired rhetoric by eating a hamburger in front of me which she very much enjoyed. Also? Raccoons eat cats.
