This one is one of those “real, actual conversations that actually happened.“ I haven’t eaten meat for a few years now, but I’ve never felt like I was ready to go full vegan. That’s why I invented the patented Ted Cavooris One Day (or Two Days (or Sometimes Three Days)) A Week Vegan Diet Regimen Featuring Penalty Days! The name needs some work.

Ironically, being less-than-fully vegan has caused me to more fully embody that old stereotype: I tell everyone about my diet, even more than I would if I were a real vegan.
