Dear Bees,

I am sorry for the oppression you have endured throughout the history of human honey eating. It is horribly, horribly wrong for us to exploit you and force you into nothing less than slave labor for production of a product that we can do without.

Please accept my humble apology.

Signed,
Whacked out vegan

Dear Scaegles,

Isn't that hilarious?! I laughed my butt off when I found out about the honey. I did buy some agave nectar to see if it compares, though. No honey! Ha!

Signed,
Not very whacked out vegan

Dear person I was friendly with five years ago,

It's over. Just because I still have the same AIM name and haven't actually blocked you doesn't mean I really want to talk to you. Please stop IMing me once every six months.

(The addressee is not on LoT.)

Dear all the people who, when I was in my teens, told me I'd grow out of acne,

You're a lying sack of shït—I still get it.

Edited to say:
Dear person I was friendly with since I got my AIM name, 10 years ago....
The same goes for you.
Yes, we spoke in HS, yes, we've spoken since.
No, we are not hard and fast friends.
Please, enough with the out of the blue IM's.

Dear Vegans of the World:

I do not understand you. Personally, I figure my DNA has made me into an omnivore and I follow that. However, I respect anyone's decisions on diet because I know they're all personal. Seeing as how I have personal tastes (lobsters look like giant bugs) I can't possibly tell anyone else what to eat.

All that I ask is that I am not made to feel guilty for following my genetic predispositions. Many of my best friends have been vegan through the years and I love all y'all.

Hmm, now that I wrote this out, I realize that this is very similar to my point of view on religion, politics, or anything else, pretty much.

Love,
Jen

P.S. Yes, I would order rabbit at a restaurant. Veal is tasty too.

Dear CP,

I agree. I think we are designed as omnivores. I think the fact that you can only get b12 from meat proves it. I don't even feel sorry for animals that are killed for meat (or leather, for that matter). I don't think we are designed to eat grain fed (especially pesticide laced grain fed) animals, or animals that are shot up with hormones and antibiotics, or animals too sick to walk. And sadly, grass fed organic beef, and free range chicken is frikkin expensive. So, with the current state of our available livestock, I think vegan is healthier.

I'm only near vegan though, as I will probably get eggs from the same farm I get my veggies from in the fall. I won't stop wearing leather, and I won't freak out if I accidentally ingest some dairy. We'd be straight vegetarian if it weren't that cheese really doesn't agree with any of us (and is pretty bad for everyone). This is a good excuse to eat healthy. It stops us from ordering pizza on lazy nights, and driving by fast food while we are running errands. And now that I'm not buying meat, I can afford to eat all organic foods.

Eternally yours,
Former meat lover

Dear trac,

That's pretty much why we're vegetarians, too. Well, that and also Tom's brain thing.

Dear City of East Palo Alto official department of sitting on your ass and not actually answering the phone to, you know, help people figure out what kind of permits or other bureaucratic waste of paper they might need before starting a major remodeling project that, in order to meet the drop-dead date of Thanksgiving, needs to start NOW, but who instead are, as noted previously in this rather long sentence, sitting on your fat entitled government paycheck asses most emphatically NOT providing any sort of service whatsoever other than enriching the owner of the McDonalds franchise next to the City office building,

Keep up the good work.

Yours in utter disgust,
