Stuff Vegetarians Like
The phenomenon started with the gag site “Stuff White People Like” and has flourished from there. If a group of people can be stereotyped into liking the same things as one another, then there is a blog out there listing all of these things … except vegetarians and animal rights activist. (Check out a bunch of them via BuzzFeed).
So here you go (I’m allowed to because I am guilty of most of these).
Stuff Veg*ns and Animal Rights Folk Like
* Buttons, patches, stickers and pins declaring their position on topics such as fur, animal testing, eating meat, etc. Quite often worn on either a tote bag or a messenger bag.
* Showering … haha, just kidding. They don’t shower as often as their counterparts.
* Arts and crafts.
* Animals - duh. But pets, too. Cats and dogs, but weird ones especially. They might have a bunny that hops freely around their apartment, a chicken roaming their backyard, or a piglet that sleeps with them. All rescued, of course.
* Telling other people what they cooked for dinner last night.
* Fresh, local, natural foods such as fruits and vegetables.
* The color black, hooded sweatshirts, dark-rimmed glasses, and big combat-type boots. Though now there are more and more “lipstick vegans.”
* Making new, cooler clothes from old ones.
* Pamphlets.
* Playing the guitar, learning to play the guitar, or at least talking about how they have always wanted to play the guitar.
* Frugality.
* Reading novels … and then telling you which ones you should read.
* Piercings and tattoos.
* Childhood nostalgia: strawberry shortcake, building snowmen, coloring books, cartoons, etc.
* Hummus.
* Meeting other vegetarians.
* Dreadlocks, uneven haircuts, and other self-styled ‘dos that require little to no maintenance.
* Traveling.
* Indie entertainment - the less popular, low-budget movies, music, and places.

Hmmm, seems like veggie heads have changed a bit from my generation. Tatoos and piercings…..not so much. Oh, I do hope Sally is not trying to tell her mother about a new tatoo…….

[...] Care for Your Tattoo or Piercing with Vegan Products by Sally Andersen My mom finds it to be quite odd that vegans, who are overly concerned about keeping our bodies pure in many ways, tend toward tattoos and piercings. But it’s true, most vegans that I know have a tattoo, piercing, or two, or ten. It’s just something that veg heads like. [...]
