If a topic keeps coming up no matter how much you try to censor it, consider that it’s not going away. Some changes are long overdue.

    These kinds of jokes are only funny if there is a kernel of truth to them. But no one talks about bacon unpromted.

      But no one talks about bacon unpromted.

      Kevin’s wife does. His agent too.

      Speaking of, did you know that my Bacon Number is 3?

      I was in a movie with Henning Mikkelsen > the dad of Mads Mikkelsen > in King Arthur with Ray Stevenson > in Jayne Mansfield’s Car with Kevin Bacon.

      Edit: fixed bizarre autocorrect of “Kevin” to “Levon” 😄

      I consume the web in 4 languages. Even BEFORE going vegan I saw unprompted meat comments on literally any video/recepie, in those 4 languages, that didn’t have meat on it from vegan/healthy creators. For years. I can bet you 69k tons of my own spit you will find similar comments yourself if you look out for them rn.

        Yeah, I’m pretty sure these people are trolls.

        But have you every actually seen anyone in real life just randomly talk to you about bacon or meat as a dietary choice out of the blue? I haven’t.

        I think the key difference is that there is hardly anyone that sees eating meat as definining trait of their personality or some moral position. It’s just food and not something you center your life around. That’s very different for a good portion of vegans.
