Veganity: From Slikipedia, the 'cool' encyclopedia
In comic parlance, vanity is the excessive belief in one's own ability to, or attractiveness in, eating only fruits and veggies. In many religions veganity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects "Lord God Meat Made in Heavan and sold throughout the USA" for the sake of one's own appetite for healthy foods that healf fight cancer and ward off diseases, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of Lord-God-Meat. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus (who gave us the term barbeque), and others, attend to a life void of vegetables.
Philosophically-speaking, veganity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "veganity is the fear of diseases related to consuming excessive animal based food products: it is thus a lack of guts, but not necessarily a lack of healthy good sense."One of Mason Cooley's aphorisms is "Veganity well fed is benevolent. Veganity hungry is spiteful."
In early Born-Again-Meat-Loving-Cheese-Drinking-God-Bless-America teachings veganity is considered an example of pride, one of the seven deadly sins.
