It's a post with some vegetarian recipes for Thanksgiving. As the author says, even non-vegetarians can use these recipes as side dishes along with their meat-of-choice.
And some of those recipes look really good, although fat chance trying to convince the nieces to eat butternut anything. (Still, do you think it'd go well with that shrimp dish?)
92 comments in, and most of them are "OMG! Vegetarians are so terrible! This is an assault on my freedom! How stupid they are to think they'll stop me from eating meat! Nom nom nom! Those meanies!"
Now, I agree, some veg*ns can be terrible, annoying people who are determined to convince everybody to stop eating what they like ever. (And to them I say you do much more good convincing three people to eat half as much meat than you do convincing one person to eat no meat and two people to eat twice as much because they hate you.) There are people like that in EVERY group.
None of them are posting comments over there today, though. Bunch of hypocrites, all of them, whining about how vegetarians are judging THEIR diets!
