I want to meet this person, someone with such strong opinions on food is either the most amusing person to talk to, or an insufferable zealot and I really want to know which this person is.
Someone with that many bumper stickers is always going to be the latter.
2-3 bumper stickers is ok. Over 12 is an art statement. 3-12 is deranged
Much to think about here. I count 11 stickers if we treat “GLUTEN (subaru logo) MATTERS” as a single sticker, and each heart as one sticker. Add in the GLUTEN plate, and we’re at exactly 12. Really on the border between deranged and artistic.
There’s a LARD sticker on the thingy above the roof too. We’re good.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised in the past. I’ll hold my judgement
Unless artwork or travel tokens, my general rule of thumb is stickers are like emojis. The more someone uses them, the more insane they are.
I read something once that there was a correlation between bumper stickers and vehicle personalizations and aggressive driving.
I’m not a real aggressive driver anymore, but I figure every little bit helps… or can’t hurt rather.
Though I do like reading other people’s stickers at stop lights.
Best bumper sticker I’ve ever seen was on a classic VW Bug. It read: “When I grow up I want to be a limousine.”
Sponsored by their cardiologist
Used to live near someone whose car was covered in “Meat is Murder - Animal Holocaust” stickers.
I bet the pig butts guy is more pleasant.
Eh, anyone who goes out of their way to shit on other people’s dietary preferences is unpleasant in my book.
It’s not even like the vast majority people who refrain from gluten just because they don’t like it or think it’s healthier. It’s because they can’t tolerate it. This car reads to me like someone ragging on people who have peanut or shellfish allergies.
To give the dude some credit, a while back it was kinda in-style to hate on gluten or think you’re intolerant to it, so maybe this is just a reaction to that?
No, he’s a gluten for puneshment.
What if my dietary preference was cannibalism? Then would it be okay to shit on my dietary preference?
Not eating animals isn’t a dietary stance, it’s an ethical stance.
What’s this ethical stance about?
Is it about what you eat?
Is it an ethical stance about what you eat, and therefore a dietary stance?You really chose the person saying “vegans aren’t assholes, it’s the preachy people who are the problem” to get preachy at didn’t you?
I’m not a vegan, and I’m also not a fan of vegan preaching, but veganism extends beyond diet to include other products like clothes and makeup. So it’s not entirely a dietary stance, that’s just where it gets the most contention. Most people are mostly vegan outside the dietary sphere, so there’s not much fighting to be had there.
Yes, I do know what veganism is. But in this case we’re talking about food, and in that sphere veganism is a dietary preference. That it also has other lifestyle implications isn’t really relevant to a conversation about food.
Really makes it for me, that depending on which stickers you look at, they might be:
- vegan
- aggressively anti-vegan
- pig fucker
This is a truly amazing post. Really inspired writing. Thank you for making me actually lol and forcing my wife to listen to me read it out loud
The person is actually a cop
the amount of stickers, humorous or not, one has in their car is directly proportional to how crazy they are.
This is definitely the car of a crazy person, but they’ve given me a pretext to once again point out that the man who discovered Gluten Sensitivity in 2011 retracted his own findings four years later, and there is probably no such thing as non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
They don’t love pigs, they love pig meat. They should be stripped of their clothing and forced to live among the pigs at a butchering farm.
I bet they weigh like 500 lbs
I mean, if you run and exercise regularly, this all accurate and even healthy. Except the lard. Carbs fuel exercise or recovery, pork chops are high in protein and lean, bacon is fine in moderation and also has protien. And gluten is only bad for you if your allergic to it, otherwise you’re just eating shittier food for no reason.
But yeah, probably.
You can’t exercise your way out of poor diet. Cholesterol is a killer. Carbs, bacon, butter, are fine in moderation, but these stickers don’t tell a story of moderation.
you can love food and still know how to moderate
not me exercising specifically so i can eat more
Guessing they’re estranged from their family of gluten-free health nuts, now they run a pasta/BBQ restaurant and are proud of their new lifestyle. Alternately, a waiter who snapped and couldn’t take it anymore.
So tired of seeing “gluten free” on everything. Still hoping for the day I see a package say “extra gluten!”
