eating

Having to accept that some animals kinda need to eat meat is harder for some people than others. The whole feeding your pets eating meat thing is also an ongoing argument, like these vegans who were called fake because they feed their cat meat.

One of the things we don't miss about restaurants is the need to make increasingly inconvenient, and sometimes potentially dangerous presentation. For example, serving food on top of a bed of bite-sized rocks is kind of a bad idea. Here are outlandish restaurant presentations, from broccoli on barbed wire to burgers on a guitar.

When it comes to man made stuff versus trees, it's easy for us to win the battle, but over time, vegetation wins the war. In only a few years trees overgrow the stuff we shove into them and cover them with, and it looks remarkably like they're straight up eating it. It's common to see hungry trees enveloping stuff.

This family was in for a serious wakeup call after ordering the same meal repeatedly, assuming that they'd only be charged for the meal once. Whoops. That is not how it works. Not how it works at all. Actually, you're expected to pay for the meal each time you order it. Amazing. 

After this dad already made a few compromises, his teenage daughter is demanded a completely meat-free household. Seems like a nice time. The internet weighed in. Like any subculture, some folks take things to the extreme, like this vegan who accused their friend of appropriating vegan culture for wanting to eat tofu.

Here are just a bunch of observed food crimes, as well as really horrible ideas to get you kicked out of the break room. People can be very particular about food, and a small mistake will make you like wildly out of place. People have witnessed some food atrocities, and in turn, sometimes people get a food wrong but carry on with it anyway.

Tumblr can get down into some wild rabbit holes, like what Disney does with its dirty pictures and what day Ice Cube's "Good Day" was. So here we have a simple question of how many wafers and wine you'd have to consume in order to, as a child says, "eat a whole Jesus." Gotta love an inquisitive mind.

Is offending someone's grandma worse than eating soup the noxious soup she made out of rotten chicken, soy sauce and boiled eggs? For some people it was. It's actually amazing what kind of food atrocities some people will put themselves through to save face. It's harrowing, in a gross sort of way.

This angry vegan went ahead and told off a non-vegan that she can't eat tofu, because it's wrongful appropriation. With all due respect, this angry vegan brought it on themselves! 

Buffets are a very interesting thing. For some, the concept of having a restaurant where the goal is to just eat as much as you can seems completely ridiculous. Everyone's been to one, with mixed experiences. Whether it's the diverse clientele, the sometimes sketchy owners, the dubious protection of a sneeze guard, or whatever might be found by health inspectors, they're places full of wonder and potential horror.

Twitter User @allieward, started a viral Twitter thread when she complained to Macy's about the recent release of their "portion control" plates in stores. The feedback was largely one of disapproval, and people really started getting into it in the comments section. Eventually Macy's intervenes, and announces that they will in fact be removing the plates from all stores cause they "missed the mark" on this one. What do you think? A bunch of overreacting and unnecessary drama, or did Macy's cross the line on this one. 

Twitter User @dizzysinclair, started up a thread on those meals people turn to when the depression hits. The answers ended up being quite relatable to many folks out there. We've got sugary feasts like a big old bag of brown sugar; we've got sleep; we've got peanut butter jars. You name it, it's probably on here. Sometimes a soul sick with sadness just needs to get lost in an abyss of sugar and fried foods.
