The spectacle is what they are after. Stopping Joe Average from chowing down on a double pepperoni pizza is secondary to the \u201clook-at-me\u201d moment. What they are not doing is changing hearts and minds.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there is little chance that screaming silly slogans and interfering with businesses will motivate anyone to drop their meatball hoagie for an order of kale. I don\u2019t know about you, but I have never considered eating just fruits, vegetables, and nuts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I see vegans cuss-out meat-eaters, it does inspire me. I make sure that I have a juicy burger or steak for my next meal. Of course, I will toss on a slice of tomato with my burger, and add a side of veggies with the steak \u2013 but just the vegetables? Nah<\/p>\n<p>Someone <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/09\/30\/vegan-activist-gets-punched-in-face-inside-pizza-joint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bellowing<\/a><em>, \u201cAnimals want to live. Animals feel pain\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s not food. It\u2019s violence\u201d<\/em> isn\u2019t going to stop me from craving and consuming some delicious meat. As I said, it\u2019s really not about changing minds. It\u2019s about the spectacle. Like children, vegans want their veggies raw and their attention rawer.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, a bunch of vegan activists in Nashville decided that a Starbucks upcharge for almond milk was a crime. Oat\/almond milk costs more than milk from a cow. Vegans are angry\u2013super angry\u2013and they are not going to take it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>A bunch of them decided that the only way to get their way at Starbucks was to encase themselves in concrete. As stupid as that sounds, the visual is even funnier. The grass-eaters placed themselves in front of the entrances as roadblocks. I guess it prevented coffee drinkers from getting their caffeine fix. Eight cop cars were needed to cordon off the crime scene.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6SGfj3ADoJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/6SGfj3ADoJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LJ\ud83d\ude3c (@crotchner) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/crotchner\/status\/1560715606424436737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t get it. Either pick them up with forklifts and drop them into a pond, or just push them over like an urban cow-tip. The irony.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a high probability that these Nashville vegans are unaware of wet cement chemistry. I hope they collectively neglected to consider what elements make up blocks of concrete before they become blocks. Lime and portland cement kinda burns.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe all of them are crying now in their mom\u2019s basement.
