Acidic Comments About Vegans

(We’re in Biology class, talking about Amino Acids in the human body, and how the body only makes 12 essential acids. At this point, a friend of mine decides to speak up.)

Friend: “That’s why Vegans have issues with their bodies. They don’t get all the amino acids.”

(Keep in mind, my friend receives very high marks in this class, and most of the others.)

Me: “Okay.”

Friend: “When I was like eight, I thought that vegans couldn’t eat anything that had been alive, so they had to eat rocks and plastic and stuff.”
