"As soon as I realized that I didn't need meat to survive or to be in good health, I began to see how forlorn it all is. If only we had a different mentality about the drama of the cowboy and the range and all the rest of it. It's a very romantic notion, an entrenched part of American culture, but I've seen, for example, pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and their hysteria and panic was something I shall never forget."

Dear Einstein Bros.,

(original post 4.26.08; and worth another shout)

I love your bagels. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Yummy-nummy goodness is the only appropriate description for a toasted, cinnamon-raisin bagel with peanut butter. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Seriously.


However... What is the deal with you NOT offering soy milk for your coffee? It's 2010, for cryin' out loud! Some of us don't do dairy. AT ALL. Whether it be for health or ethical reasons, there are quite a few of us out there.


Can't you cut us dairy-free folks a break, and carry soy milk for a perfect vanilla latte to accompany my perfect cinnamon-raisin/peanut butter bagel??? (I wouldn't mind giving my money to someone other than Starbucks...)


Yours Truly,
a bagel-lovin' vegan
