  • I look way older than I am. And I have a younger sister. So I am still cometely in on all the young people jokes, but teenagers address me with the formal “you” (German). And I feel betrayed by my own people every time. Best thing is when my sister is talking about an internet phenomenon and says “you wouldn’t understand” but I was literally there when it happened like five years ago.

    So what I’m trying to say is I stopped feeling like a child when I wasn’t accepted as one anymore. Child and adult are (mostly! I’m not promoting pedophilia) societal norms.

    No he’s implying that eating something just because it is “Vegan” is not understanding the point. Vegans usually don’t eat stuff because it’s bad for the environment or because they see animals as equal lifeforms and don’t want to cause them harm. If you don’t eat most animal products because of the environment then you might be ok with eating oysters on occasion. They have a similar co2 footprint as most vegetables. Similarly honey has an even smaller footprint.

    Well, cooking terms and botany terms are not the same. Any non reproductive part of a plant is vegetable. But in cooking we have a completely different idea of what vegetables are.

    This really doesn’t matter because most people are not botanists and those who are probably know the terms. The only people that care are quirky internet people with debates about weather or not potato salad should be considered a cake or something.
