Former Vegan Eatery Turns Into Smoked Meat Shop And Deli

That's the best news I herd all day!

Good!

Vegetarians tend to be liberals and the less we have of liberals (and vegetarians),the better for humanity.

Yep....sheep are all vegans....

Weirdly ironic.

In the absolute and most satisfying way possible. Maybe it was ISON?

Oh, it was definitely ISON!

Nice. We have two GLPers that agree. So it's scientific fact now. The best kind of fact. The kind with no link or picture.

This is proof of micro evolution

Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a round of applause for our friend deanoZXT, appearing right here all weekend. Don't forget to tip your bartenders and servers...

How about a tricycle of ineptitude? ALL ABARD

So you're happy a place where healthy, cruelty-free food was served, has been shut down and replaced by a shop that sells decaying lumps of animal flesh?

Satisfying?

Disgusting how you are getting high from the slaughter of innocent animals. Absolutely sick and disgusting. Bloodthirsty commies.



How Communists and Bolschewiks persecuted Vegetarians in Russia

They labelled vegetarianism a 'bourgeois' and unacceptable attitude for commies.


History of the Russian Vegetarian Societies

Vegetarianism appeared in Russia in 14th century. The famous Russian saints – Sergiy Radonezhskiy, Seraphim Sarovskiy, Epiphaniy the Wise - in their sermons persuaded the orthodoxies that the true belief in God was incompatible with eating of meat and called them to follow Lenten mode of life. The majority of Russians observed the fasts (over 200 days per year) and kept to Lenten fare. The representatives of many religious communities were passionate adherents of the vegetarianism. In the late 19th and early 20th century Lev Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer and philosopher made a great contribution in the development of the vegetarian concept and its introduction in the common life. He believed that vegetarianism was very useful from the moral, ethical, medical and economic point of view.

At the beginning of the 20th century about ten societies were established in Russia: in Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, Saratov, Poltava, Odessa, Minsk and in other cities. Moscow vegetarian society was founded in 1909. L.N. Tolstoy became its honorary member. The Moscow vegetarian society was a very active one: a dinning-hall was set up, lectures were delivered, articles dedicated to vegetarian problems were published, a Society Almanac was issued.

Due to vegetarian societies dinning-halls were established in 24 Russian cities – 6 in Moscow, 7 – in Kiev, 5 – in Saint Petersburg. Hospitals with vegetarian nutrition were founded, vegetarian newspapers and magazines etc. were published as well.

In April 1913 in Moscow there took place the 1st All-Russia Vegetarian Congress. Vegetarianism was widely spread in the country. Among vegetarians were the writers Bunin and Leskov, the composer Skryabin, the painter Levitan, the scientist Rerikh, the academician Nesmeyanov and other famous people. The famous Russian wrestler Ivan Poddubny also followed the vegetarian diet.

The revolution of 1917 stopped the development of vegetarianism in Russia. The Soviet State authorities considered vegetarianism as a pseudoscientific theory that reflected the bourgeois ideology and therefore harmed to Soviet people. In 1929 the last vegetarian society in Moscow was closed [the 1926 IVU Congress in London, England, received apologies from the Russian Society for being unable to attend]. The communist leaders scorned the principle idea of the vegetarianism – non-violence, spirit of independence, love to all the living and freedom of thinking. The leaders of the vegetarian societies were persecuted, many of them arrested and sentenced.

The Big Soviet Encyclopedia (1961) commented: "Vegetarianism is based on false hypothesis and ideas and has no followers in the Soviet Union!" The word "vegetarian" was taken away from the dictionaries of the Russian language.

The revival of vegetarianism was in post-war period when the interest in oriental systems of health, particularly in yoga increased. This time is marked by successful medical work of professor Uriy Sergeevich Nikolaev, who treated psychic diseases by means of diet with further adoption of vegetarian food. Later U.S. Nicolaev managed to establish the department of medical fasting for somatic patients in Moscow State hospital 1968.

Uriy Sergeevich Nikolaev was a son of the passionate adherent of Lev Nicolaevich Tolstoy’s teaching – Sergey Nicolaev, who’s wife took part in foundation of Moscow dinning-halls, all his children were vegetarians from childhood as well as some of his grandchildren. Uriy Sergeevich Nikolaev interested himself in natural philosophy, oriental methods of health, was in correspondence with several foreign doctors-naturopaths and gathered around himself a large amount of Muscovites and people from other cities those who were interested in natural ways of health. In Moscow’s cultural centers lectures concerning natural methods of health, especially – vegetarianism were held; volunteers translated and reprinted free of charge books of foreign authors: P. Bregg, G. Shelton, A. Cheis, M. Gerson, K. Geffery. So by the time of the first vegetarian society in post-soviet Russia, in 1989, there were a lot of people seeking to shape vegetarian movement.

In 1989 at the time of perestroika in the USSR on initiative of Y.S. Nikolaev, Doctor of medicine, T.N. Pavlova (Center of ethical attitudes towards animals) and Irina. L. Medkova (Vegetarian Medical Center) at the Ecological Fund of the Soviet Union there was established a vegetarian society. The Vegetarian Society is headed by Tanya .N. Pavlova.

lack of demand, clearly. what to do? force people to be vegan. by way of incessant whining and prodding until they just give up meat to get some peace and get the veganazis off their back

Feel free to buy the entertainment drinks too. I like vodka tonics. But I'll take a pitcher of PBR. Please, for my sanity, and your safety, no hecklers.

I guess he fucking told you, deano!

One victory at a time.

Yes, yes he did tell me. But I still don't care. I know the mass slaughter and unhealthy "living" areas of animals is wrong. But fuck it, I like meat and it tastes good. We all do actions we know are wrong, but we just don't care and do that action anyways.

As a cattleman, all I can say is yippee ki yi yo!

Yes, as it is now a place where I can shop.

The first Die Hard is still the best Christmas movie out there. Just got back form getting some assuage, a nice picnic ham. Oh, turkey was way marked down to .69 cents a pound. I got some Peperoni to, for the Ritz crackers. Also some of the Christmas M&M's. This is that special time of the year you can get the peanut ones in green and red.

yes. I don't buy the claptrap.

HAVE YOU EVER MOWED YOUR LAWN BEFORE? EH YOU BUG KILLA!
equal arguement

That's weird, I'm a former vegan who turned cannibal.

Good for you. I'm not against eating fruits and veggies. Hell I don't even eat meat every day. Heck, I hate lamb. Unless you have allergies or restrictions, the key to life is a balanced diet of ALL things.

In my 30ish years, I've never truly seen a healthy looking Vegan. And I seen a lot of them, living up and down the West Coast all my life. All pasty looking hallow skin, bone thin and bugging out eyes. If you look into a true Vegans eyes, they look sad and soulless. Vegetarians are cool though. They seem healthy and they don't try and "convert" everyone.
