Damn. I take you hunting once and you join PETA and become a vegan. From my perspective, that is not progress.

Stinging! You'll be happy to know that my veganism is only making me hungry and angry. When I'm done with it I'll be in the mood to kill and eat a deer, or a cute little bunny, or whatever, with my bare hands if necessary. In fact I'm getting to that point now.

The veganism is merely a lark; one of those things that I feel like I might as well try. I might stick with the wheat-free thing, though, as I think it actually makes me feel much better. Corn pasta redux!
