As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.

Check those labels, guys...

While staying in a hotel over Thanksgiving, I was making a cup of coffee one morning. I should preface this by saying that a vegan thanksgiving in Holland, Michigan is not at all an easy task. If I hadn't brought most of my own food it would have been a disaster. It was almost unbelievingly hard to find vegan margarine- not one brand, besides earth balance, was dairy free- and I had to go to multiple stores to find what I needed. So, I guess I was in dairy country up there. However, even I was surprised when I opened up the little coffee kit in my room. I was happy to see that they included "Non-dairy creamer" because I don't usually enjoy black coffee. However, being the everlasting compulsive label reader that I am, I flipped over the packet and scanned the ingredient list. There, at the bottom, were these little words: 'Contains milk'. Cheeky bastard. I like my coffee black, anyway.
