Day 87... Veganomics

Veganomics

From Snikerpedia, the silliest encyclopedia out there!

Veganomics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of fruits and vegetables by individuals or families who love animals so much that they want to dress them up in cabana wear and let them roam freely throughout the streets of Detroit. The term veganomics comes from the Ancient Greek for veggie (green stuff plus love animals) and nomos ("custom" or "law"), hence "rules of eating fruits and veggies out of a great love for animals".[1]


Current veganomic models developed out of the broader field of a complete disgust with fast food and industrial farming methods in the late 19th century, owing to a desire to use an organic approach more akin to home gardening and buying only locally grown organic produce.[2] A definition that captures much of modern economics is that of Lionel from "The Jeffersons" and "All in the Family" in a 1992 essay: "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship with vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes as an alternative to eating foods derived from the exploitation of animals."[3] Exploitation refers to the eating of flesh from other animals (fish and Stephen Colbert included), while also utilizing anything that is derived from the milk or egg of any animal. But there are lots of crazy ass plant based substitutes for this stuff so there is no veganomic problem. The subject thus defined involves the study of naturaly grown fruits and vegetables as they are affected by our hunger and our love for animals.


Veganomics aims to explain how veganomies work and how veganomic agents interact. Veganomic analysis is applied throughout society, in business and finance but also in crime (in case someone tries to steal your beans),[4] education (for kids who wait desperately all week for pizza day at school lunch, only to be fed gruel and termite saliva),[5] the family (for when the kids go home and have to endure another round of meatless torture as they watch comercial after commercial of saliva pumping ads for Wendy's, McDonalds, Burger King and Sonic while waiting for yet some more gruel), health (you will die if you go back to meat), law (It should be illegal to harm animals), politics (animals should have equal rights, like so many Americans who can't speak English), religion (because cows are sacred in Hindu culture and have earned the right to step over the rotting corpses of starving human beings, because that is what we deserve),[6] social institutions (Hey, animals are social), and war (If we can only teach marmots to shoot a gun).[7] The dominating effect of veganomics on the social sciences been described as veganomic heaven.[8][9]
