Why?

How out of sync could I be? Let's count the ways:

Fat: I may be in the majority here but it's still not cool.
Vegan: Our numbers are rising but we are probably still under 1%.
Grandmother: Not a thirty-something wit.

Aren't there enough fat blogs out there already? you may ask. No. We need a lot more to counter the messages we receive - and send - every day, every hour. My personal mission here? To correct the misconceptions and flat-out untruths rife in today's media, both mainstream and otherwise.

You vegans are annoying holier-than-thous, you say? Sometimes yes, we are. In my case, "holier-than-thou" might not quite work because I'm an atheist. I could have called this Fat Atheist Vegan Blog but I thought, "enough!" And anyway, let's admit it: vegans ARE right. Why not say it loud?

Grandmothers are out of touch? Not this one.

The three titles together mean something, too. The common perception of vegans is that they are thin, in fact rail-thin. Many of us are not. This older generation is also perceived as stuck-in-the-mud, not open to new ideas. So not true, not of me, not of many others my age. I'm here to explode some myths.

So there you have it.
