    They know because they’ve eaten lots of human flesh. You see, ever since the Trilateral Commission, they’ve been on a project to make human flesh taste like vegetables. That, in fact, was the original idea behind Soylent Green.

    This latest development, vegetarian long pork, must be from the postmodern wing.  I guess even the Illuminati get infected by critical theory.

    But if you think about it, the long term effort to turn humanity into an agricultural product explains quite a lot.

    People know what human flesh tastes like because some societies have eaten it and described it to others.  Humans are called “long pig” apparently because the flesh tastes like pork.

    Something must have been lost or added during the translation. Swedes are fine people.

    Never set down your drink at a Vegan party….or drink from the punch bowl.    Best to bring your own food and drink; even better to avoid being around Vegans entirely.    If you feel sleepy,  get a friend on the phone and get out of there.  Drive drugged if you have to…..  do not pass out or fall asleep near the cannibals / vegans.

    If you bread and fry a chicken gizzard with herbs and garlic is that mostly vegan?

    mostly “vegan”

    Are Swedish meatballs really made from Swedes?

    The Swedish meatballs are made in the same factory with Girl Scout Cookies.

    They asked David Leavitt (and yes, I’m not done thinking his story is hilarious).

    Arthur C. Clarke already wrote this story. 

    The new successful artificial food is based on the taste of, shall we say, long pig?

    Have you noticed the huge effort to make vegetables taste like meat?  Why not simply eat meat?

    Yeah, yeah, I know they argue “animal cruelty” and “saving the planet,” but if eating meat is so repulsive to them, why do they want food to taste like real meat?

    Cows,  Pigs, Deer, &  Chickens do an outstanding job of making vegetables taste like meat.

    And have you noticed that it never goes in the other direction? No one ever tries to make meat taste like vegetables.

    These are hostile beings from the Vega star system. Their plan to enslave us all is through forced abhorrence of meat. Prime directive: extermination of Americans via recreational abortion.

    Yes.  They’re vay-gans.  VAY-gans.  Vegan has always been a real word.  I’ve even got my wife pronouncing it this way now.

    Beats vedg-ins.

    Personally, I approve of eating Vegans.  In fact, why not just eat our way through the entire left?
