more thoughts on veganism...and Berkeley

these are some billboards that Ippoc found in Berkeley. Berkeleyans care very much about animals and passed a law that declared that people were not the "owners" of their pets but rather their pet's "guardians".

personally, I suspect we are Minnie and Daisy's handmaids: "You don't like that brand new 99 cent can of fish filets? I'm terribly sorry. Shall I open you another?"

We don't like that Andronicos sells eggs from abused hens or that red peppers are $6.99 a pound. At the Berkeley Bowl down the road prices are cheaper. you could fill up a Toyota King cab with red peppers and it'd only cost about fiddy cents. but i always seem to get in a fight in the parking lot with some vegan in a volvo who wants my spot. and then there's the aisle clogging shopping carts, and the unfriendly staff at the bulk section.

but we love the animals and feel bad for eating them. we're going to try to be kinder, gentler veganer people.


...better Berkeleyans.

But until then, here's a picture of a particular Berkeley species we see often in our West Berkeley hood. they park on our street and head around the corner to the Bikram studio with their portable yoga mats slung over their shoulder. we call them yoga-fucks...


We have much growing up to do.
