A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Go vegan!

One step beyond
Today, I realized I've become a stereotypical militant vegan when I told a friend that we should start raising Lone Star ticks and dropping them around town so we could spread meat allergies and force people to eat vegan. FML

Leave me alone
Today, my brother turned into a fanatical vegan, and while I was eating my scrambled eggs, sat across from me glaring and whispering, "fried embryo, amniotic fluid" the entire time. I have a feeling i'll be eating most of my meals in my room from now on. FML

Today, I was lectured by a self-professed vegan over my "barbaric" eating habits, in between her scarfing down a tuna fish sandwich. FML

Today, the unhealthiest person I know, weighing in at around 350 pounds told me she was now a vegan. I then told her the Cheese-Itz, as well as the leather boots she was wearing wasn't vegan. She said I was wrong. I'm a nutritionist. FML

Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. FML

Today, I had to tell my wife that the new "vegan" diet she has put us on is not working with my body. It's not the horrible gas, hot shits, or constant hunger that made me realize this. It was the dream I had about fried chicken that did. FML

Go, Vegan!
Today, my vegan sister told my kids where meat and dairy products come from, in a very detailed way. They now refuse to eat meat, and want to, "rescue all the poor animals." FML

Digging my heels in
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML

maybe they are confused. there are lots of types of vegetarians, and vegan is the strictest. maybe they mean they are pescetarian (sp?), they are okay with eggs/and or dairy. I don't eat meat myself unless it is seafood, and I'm okay with eggs and dairy.
doodlecloud 27
Nope, there is only one type of vegetarian - vegetarian. Pescetarian, vegan, etc. are not types of vegetarianism. And fyi, pescetarian is veggie + fish, nothing to do with eggs and dairy...(kind of difficult to tell if that's what you meant or not)
VeganDarkLight 31
Yes, there are different types of vegetarianism. Veganism is one of them, the others are ovo-lacto-vegetarianism, ovo-vegetariansm and lacto-vegetariansm. Pescetarians are omnivores who just skip terrestrial animals, they are basically ovo-lacto-vegetarians who also eat fish.

This is how it works. As a vegan, you can eat unfertilized eggs, because that is just the equivalent of female chicken menstruation, however, a true vegan would not want to do this, because even "free range" "humane" treatment is not conducive to a happy, healthy life for a hen. I am not vegan nor vegetarian, just a personal trainer trying to bring some clarification to the matter

That makes no sense though given that vegans won't drink milk or eat dairy. And milk is "just natural bovine lactation" by that. logic.
Vlen_fml 20
it may be natural but the process is usually extended artificially to the discomfort of the bovine. An egg will happen either way, getting milk stop at a point unless sustained by outside influence.

I've never understood the big deal with free range chicken anyway. It's like saying, "I want the chickens who are treated with more dignity to die sooner, and I want the ones locked in a cage their whole lives to live longer."

the reason vegans don't eat animal products and byproducts is because of the cruelty, a hen lays eggs pain free without human interference, so, try being passive aggressive somewhere else.
VeganVampyre 27
66- a hen CAN lay eggs pain free, but that doesn't mean they don't get treated horribly anyway. Most egg laying hens are kept in absolutely horrible conditions, so yes, there is still an issue of animal cruelty. Regardless, there are many different reasons why people become vegan and not all of them have to do with animal cruelty, so the argument that vegans can eat eggs because they don't cause the chicken pain would be incorrect no matter what. Veganism is a lifestyle choice, not just a dietary choice, and it means that you cannot eat, wear, or in any other way use any product that uses animals at all. Meaning no meat or any other byproduct of meat or animals, including eggs, milk, honey, and gelatin (that's right, no marshmallows or gummy bears either!). It also means no wearing wool, silk, leather, or any other animal made fabrics, and no bath or beauty products that have been tested on animals. Vegans only buy cruelty free certified products, no drugstore brand shampoo or lipstick, and they most certainly do not eat eggs, "pain free" or otherwise. If they do, they are not actually vegan.

How is this even an FML?
JokersHQ 21
Well, while being inaccurate about being vegan, eggs are the me steal cycle of the chicken essentially so they don't hurt the animal any. Hopefully they'll feel less guilty!

That's a funny yoke

what's the point of being a vegan? You deprive yourself of all the delicious meat you can eat, you just eat vegetables and fruit? and nuts for protein? Is it to "save" animals? It's not going to affect the amount of animals that die every day,there's always some binge eating guy out there who will eat his share and your share of meat. There's always going to be that random person in some random restaurant who will order some big fat steak and eat just a quarter of it, leaving the rest to be thrown away.

I'm sure I will get down graded, but how is this an FML. They are your friends and you choose to associate with them. Being friends with ignorant people is not and FML if you continue to talk to them.

You guys know there are 3 types of vegetarianism. One type only eats vegetables. The second type eats vegetables and eggs. The third type eats vegetables, eggs and dairy products.
limabeans101029 21
The FML said "vegan", not vegetarian. Being a vegan means not eating or using anything that has come from an animal. Eggs included.

I think you need to reread the FML, #53..
nastya_nastenka 16
Beeing a vegan (vegetarian) is only not eating meat. When you don't eat any animal substances it's vegetalien.

You need to learn that vegans and vegetarians are two totally different things.
