When You Tire of Eating Vulture Food, Stegosaurus Food Awaits

Everyone always

uses “rabbit food”

when comparing

a vegan diet

to that of

another animal,

as if that were

the only herbivore

known to man

No one ever

declares,

“I refuse to

eat bison food”

or “keep your

gorilla food

away from me”

“Enjoy your

hippopotamus food”

is never dismissively

tossed at us

“I admire

what you do

but I just couldn’t

eat elephant food,”

has yet to be uttered

No one ever

blankly questions,

“Why would you want

to eat rhinoceros food?”

“How’s your gazelle food?”

Nope

Always rabbit food
