19 Reasons To Not Go Vegan

No eating animals or animal byproducts? No thank you. Sure it's great for your health and for the environment and, obviously, for the animals. But, have you considered all that you'd be giving up if you decide to go vegan?

1. Umm... BACON.

How, oh how dear vegans, do you cure a weekend hangover?

2. And burgers with bacon.

I don't even know what's happening here, but I want in.

3. Brunch.

Eggs+Bacon+Mimosa=Best Decision of the Day. After not being a vegan, of course.

4. And, BBQ sandwiches.

You doubting the whole vegan thing, yet?

5. And backyard barbeque parties in general.

You can still come, of course. Just get into the habit of bringing your own eggplant. And getting made fun of for said eggplant.

6. CHEESE.

Don't really know what's happening here, but bottom line is that if you're vegan, you can't fondu with these weirdo's. Or their sweater-ed cat. And that is a vegan travesty.

7. And we can eliminate cheesy pizza.

You people are bat-shit crazy, while admittedly, possessing an admirable level of self-control. Just look at that pizza!

8. And lasagna.

There does seem to be a cheese theme here.

9. So basically, rule out Italian restaurants. Or dating an Italian. Or going to Europe. Ever.

This includes never meeting anyone like the beautiful Ms. Sophia Loren. I'm just saying...

10. And no happy holidays for you.

No turkey, no butter in your mashed potatoes and no stuffing. You can eat the shit out of some cranberries though. LUCKY YOU.

11. Or camping...

Did you know marshmallows are made with gelatin which is apparently derived from boiling animal skin, bone and other parts? So...I guess that's super gnarly...I mean maybe being a vegan isn't so bad...

12. Or stay-at-home chicken noodle soup.

No more classic rainy day comfort for you.

13. And forget spontenaiety.

That cute guy from three cubicles down wants to get a beer with you after work. "I'm sorry, I can't drink beer... did you know that a lot of beers are filtered using animal byproducts, such as fish bladders or egg whites? Wait... come back, I can still drink vodka!"

14. Ranch dressing.

But, what do you dip your vegetables in?!

15. And having to ask the waiter at every restaurant, "What are your vegan options?"

I don't even want to know what a vegan substitute for these delicious things would be.

17. Your friends will make kale jokes. Like, constantly.

And if you have no idea what this means, get your vegan ass to any remaining rental stores and watch George Lucas and Ron Howard's masterpiece, "Willow." You'll thank me later. And eat some meat for God's sake.

18. MILKSHAKES!

Ice cream ice cream ice cream!

19. And let's not forget, that apparently THIS is a thing.

Good God, Lemon.
