It was already kind of a no-brainer for me to frown on vegans for not appreciating the many scrumptious applications of bacon and for generally looking like concentration camp prisoners and screwing up animal-eaters’ party menu planning. Now thanks to Mingaling I see they take the ridiculous to a whole new level:

In the UK beer (bitter) is also commonly fined using isinglass (made from the swim bladders of fish). Guinness is not suitable for vegans. Most spirits are vegan except for Campari (contains cochineal) and some Vodkas (passed through bone charcoal).

I know “Guinness is good for you,” but I’m not really sure where fish bladders fit into that; still, their retarded loss. And turning down a good Stoli martini just because its sugars once passed by the calcinated bones of dead animals? Holy ridiculous standards, Batman! I once traveled to the Soviet Union…does that make me forever a communist?

And if it does, can I still drink animal-flavored booze?

Stupid diet.
