I’m sorry, folks. I can’t help it. I’m helpless against continuing to make fun of the sugar addicted, essential fatty acid and protein deprived brains of The Vegan Menace.
I mean, c’mon; what am I, some slave to every silly pronouncement? Well, perhaps. Someone asked in a recent comment why I bother. I guess I just imagine some engineering, math, physics, or biology student in their dorm room a bit depressed about not being in the in crowd of well-off "vegan" guys and gals — old and resilient enough, but still young enough, and fueled enough, to coast, nutritionally — and with the luxury to spend that nutrition on a slowly wasting body and mind. Oh and don’t forget about the sexual benefits of really being "in."
I can’t help but wonder if at least some of those Googlers don’t read my stuff — and the logs indicate they do — concluding that, they don’t, after all, want to be associated with such simple mindedness — sexual benefits notwithstanding.
That English grad hottie — who can seemingly agitate Dr. Campbell and all his sycophants in her sleep — Denise Minger, just emailed me a heads-up link to those to whom I refer as "the gone bananas people."

Hey guys, I’m new here. Great thing you guys are doing here.
Funny story about how I found the place. I’ve been following the crazy attacks on Dr. Campbell’s work by this cute little English Major I’m sure you’re all familiar with, and found that they are not just attacking The China Study, but anyone who supports it! And 30BaD is at the top of the list! Something you guys should be very proud of.
I love this term "blog bandits". I’ve been doing this for years before I ever knew there was such a name for it. I am presently beginning to start a major operation against this blog:
They are one of the ones you listed above, and I think, based on google results, one of the biggest culprits in this entire attack on the China Study and fruit-based veganism itself. If you look at the comments section, you can see what idiots they are. I am sure you have already realized that the blogs newest post is a direct attack on this forum, with all kinds of childish name calling:
https://freetheanimal.com/2010/10/vegan-zealots-censor-criticism-of-…
I say we get in there and really put out the info, and make them look twice at their carnivorous madness!
I don’t know about you, but I "look" at my "carnivorous madness!" at least twice per day, unless, of course, I eat three meals. But as we know, the nutritional density of "carnivorous madness!" tends to curb hunger for very long periods — sometimes 24-48 hours, especially after one of those 3lb binges of red meat and animal fat goodness.
But the real reason I blogged this was to tender a reference. For some reason, the instant I read — well, after I picked myself off the floor laughing, that is — "I am presently beginning to start a major operation against this blog" my mind flashed to that scene in The Christmas Story where Mr. Parker wins a "Major Award."
Here’s the clip on YouTube for your unabashed comic amusement.
Well, as I said, I can’t help myself. Is it unfair? Probably, what with the brain shrinkage association with veganism & all. I dunno. What do you think? Ought I treat Jason Gibbins, self described "male, hunk" and the "brainchild" of this forthcoming "major operation" with a bit more sympathy?
Oh, and one more thing. I suppose now that since Free the Animal is going to be ‘under attack’ in this "major operation," I "should be very proud." The vegans feel so very threatened and of course, that must mean we’re right.
Yea, right. Something like that.

I thought for sure that the Jason Gibbon’s profile was you in disguise trying to infiltrate and rabble-rouse.

has this been posted yet? this girl is literally killing ehrself
You realize with your big mouth you’re practically welcoming them in here, right? Ahh, of course you do. Just like the alligator snapping turtle does to those poor little fish… :D
That dude looks like some kind of Van Halen cover band reject. The band would probably be called something like, “Diver Down: A Van Halen Tribute.”
I could see him either playing Eddie or Sammy Hagar during their set.
They couldn’t play more than a 45 minute set before having to take a break though, you know the sugar crash and all.
I guess they could get around that by playing “Everybody Want’s Some” but giving it a vegan “twist” and eating fruit during the song.
Sorry, I have Van Halen on the mind for some reason today.
Damn, you’re right! Somewhere out there, a lame tribute band is looking for its Eddie. :-)
The more I think about it, this guy is NOT cool enough to play Van Halen. He’s probably more of a Toto guy.
Ouch!
He probably loves Kenny G.
I find it alternately funny and very sad when ‘men’ go vegetarian and, worse, pick up all the weenie peace-love-dove idiocies of that crowd… I looked at Jason in his profile, and thought — omg, california weenie-boy. Where is all his testosterone? Where his his drive to compete, conquer, and control? What is happening to our males that they don’t grow up into MEN!? {sigh} It’s very sad… (and a bit scary when you remember they can vote and pass legislation!)
It’s been replaced by phytoestrogens.
Yup. Estrogenic foods like soy and estrogenic chemicals…
you are right about one thing elenor. the males in america are becoming sissies. there should be a very distinct line between men and women. that seems to be blurred in younger generations. males just aren’t becoming men anymore.
I guess Arnold the Governator was right in calling many politicians girlie men. On Wall street the drug of choice is cocaine, in the political aisles it’s soy milk and tofu, and freedom fries of course.
Bwahaha, this is priceless. And your lines about “carnivorous madness” had me laughing out loud.
Richard, you’ve been around for a while, but I think you are now truly becoming a legend in your own right in this evolutionary health community. Someday I’m going to be telling the youngsters that I was there on freetheanimal when Richard took on 30BaD.
Richard, I’m seriously worried about this disturbing new development. I think you might walk out your front door one day, and find a strategically placed banana peel on your stoop. Or a banana stuffed in your tailpipe. It’s dangerous to make enemies with a bunch of monkeys.
Not to mention all the flung feces!
Nah, they’ll never make it to his house. They’re all too constipated from eating all of those bananas.
Quite the opposite I’d imagine!
True, an excess consumption can work either way, so they’re still never going to make it. ;-)
It’s nice to hear he’s only beginning to start his operation right now, so you’ll have plenty of time to get ready for when he starts to begin. Then you can one-up him by skipping the “beginning to start” step altogether and going straight to the “starting to begin” step yourself. That’ll show those mango-munchers!
The brain isn’t the only organ that shrinks on a vegan diet. I would never date a vegan guy as they do seem rather emasculated. They fight like girls, too. A vegan guy is no match for a paleo girl. LOL!
I cannot stop laughing at the word ‘Fruititionist!’ Bwahahahahaa!!
‘THE’ fruititionist no less, you forgot the most important bit! I have to say we really owe a lot of quality laughs to the 30bad rejects over the last few weeks. Quality, just quality :)
That’s her name – it was Freelee or something before. What a ditz.
I wonder if she ever worked for this company – http://tinyurl.com/28f49pa
or used this to count calories – http://tinyurl.com/ykleocn
That dude looks like a scrawny Carrot Top.
What’s with his hair??
OT : More paleo research goodness:
http://diabeticmediterraneandiet.com/2010/10/11/paleo-diet-for-heart-patients-with-diabetes-and-prediabetes/
And vegans are stupid. Yeah meat!
My goodness! Those moronic mango munchers live in a parallel universe! Maxwell comments that Minger should have asked TCC before crunching her numbers and formulating her critique? Like some obedient little girl?
That kind of attitude is why I no longer have a TV subscription, because the obedient little trollops who call themselves newspeople don’t do any kind of investigative work, relying instead on getting the opinion of the politician or person being “investigated”
Balls to that.
What on earth do they think they’ll accomplish by storming FTA and making complete fools of themselves?
I don’t know, but it sounds like prime entertainment to me.
I agree, I wish they’d get started already. Oh, the flaming that will ensue.
It’s exciting stuff. I find it odd how sexist all these vegans are though, the idea of a young attractive woman accomplishing this seems totally beyond their comprehension. I don’t know why! I know lots of extremely intelligent and hardworking women similar to Denise, I’m offended that they find it so absurd as to imply she’s fictitous. I wonder would it be the same if it was a good looking bloke?
I was going to comment on all their weird sexist comments, but I didn’t. But I agree, it is awfully weird.
Khrystyna,
My coworker, a 22 year old guy, has a theory on this phenomenon in general. He says that when men are sexist they’re just being, well, sexist. But when women are sexist towards other women it’s because “they’re retarded so they’re assuming you’re retarded too.”
I think in this case though, we can modify it to read “Vegans are retarded so they’re assuming everyone else on the planet is retarded too.”
And he means retarded in the “Dumb and Dumber” sense, not in the Down’s Syndrome sense, for the PC police out there.
Interssting analysis, thanks! I’d tend to agree, when I was a vegan I thought all out spoken meat eaters (including the ones who were much cleverer, more experienced and more educated than I) were all dumbass’s who were going to die of colon cancer. I now know better, must’ve grown some more brainz… :)
Actually I feel bad for the quiet vegans/veg who are quite live and let live and have sort of stay in the closet for fear of being associated with the crazy. I’ve met a few–heck, I was one for a while because I do love critters so very much. But I know from experience that I feel much better on a meat heavy diet and I was wrestling with the fact that I was already having animals killed in order to feed my cats…making cats and dogs be veggie is almost as bad as throwing puppies off bridges IMO.
Wow, this explains so much about Elisabeth Hassellbeck.
That guy doesn’t look like he’s be able to fight his way out of a wet paper bag!
This is so wiered, 2 years ago I probably would have sided with the creepy vegan “zealots” but now that i’ve “evolved” and goten rid of all the negative effects of a veg diet (eczema, depression, fatigue etc..oh n i was not a junk food eater btw) i find it almost embarassing that i rolled with that crowd *chuckle*. My dad has been vegetarian since ’85 and i get this kinda stuff from him all the time and let’s just say he’s better off than your average fast food consumer but not by that much. I’ve seen the longterm ‘d’effects of being a vegetarian/sugarholic and it is ugly.
first comment ever on a paleo site :) (1.5 years paleo) I figured if that creep can come out of the woodwork then hey… ;)
Welcome to comments, MJ, where all the cool kids hang out.
I know exactly how you feel, although most of family and friends are still vegan or veggie and are nothing like those morons at 30bad. It’s a crappy stereotype, created by the likes of those fanatics that will no doubt be imposed on a lot more intelligent and unsuspecting vegans and veggies in the future.
Hey Richard, I’ve been following your site for the last year or so, just lurking. But with this post I just couldn’t help but comment. “Major operation?” Sounds like some kind of vegan James Bond job. Guess they don’t know that we’re an army of Jaws over here.
Just wanted to join in the fun when the onslaught eventually “starts to begin” or “begins to start,” whichever comes first.
Ok, but just don’t take my post for actually taking it seriously.
In other words, they could bring 100 times more than I expect and still keep me wanting.
It’s a “carnivorous madness!” — never forget the girly exclamation point — thing, y’know.
Actually Richard, Could you do a little prep post on how to engage these people in the comments?
I vote utmost manners and logical discussion, let’s show them how civil a caveman can be :)
I would really relish the challenge of having my opinion contradicted and the option to reply to these people. After all, if they weren’t afraid of discussion they would open up their forums and not run away from debate.
Bring it on.
I wouldn’t set you on anyone, least of all some poor old vegan still clinging onto the China Study! Hell you’re the reason I gave up veganism/vegetarianism after ten years and went paleo! It was because I didn’t have a hope of winning in an arguement with you about the merits of a veggie vs meat based diet, and eventually it dawned on me why, I’d never had a leg to stand on! Thanks btw, I owe you one big time for fixing my body :)
Sarah, I appreciate your sentiment, I really, truly do.
But it just so goes against my grain to ever coordinate anything like that. That said, others are totally free to, even here.
I’m a “lone wolf,” too used to it now and enthralled by my own shameless, independence to ever stop. But Ive been fostering that sort of thing in myself for a very long time, far longer back than the last three or so years Ive been Paleo
If you ask me, the only primar I can give is be yourself and show yourself. Honesy really has a way of reaching people where an argument that’ totally right about everywhere they’re wrong, won’t.
It’s like I always say: well, at least you know I’m not lying. I think that along counts for a lot more than people realize. The world is so full of lies, he’ll, half the time people are not even searching for the truth, only for the best lier & lies.
So, every man & women for themselves, I guess. Sorry, hut it’s the best I can do.
Sorry for all the typos. Typing fast on an iPad, along with a bug that does not allow you to expand or scroll the tiy comment compose window to review & edit.
Perhaps the bug on your iPad is the first stage of the “major operation”….be afraid. Be very afraid. Doesn’t this guy’s profile picture fill you with a fear for your life? Look at him, he’s a killer!
Oh, and I must reitterate: think closely about the theme of this post and the reference.
It wasn’t only for comedy. I meant it. Ther elikely won’t even be any attack. If there is, it will be even lamer than Mr Parker’s “major award.”
