Perhaps it was fate that caused me to accidentally stumble upon a Vegan food festival, but regardless of the precursors that led to that very moment, I was stuck in another dimension for a good portion of my day.
Ironically enough as I was crossing the street on Broadway and Anaheim, I almost got run over. Maybe I should have taken this as intense foreshadowing from the heavens that I was about to experience something tragic in various shapes and forms. Whichever the case, I proceeded to my inevitable destination.
I was actually relatively shocked by how crowded this venue was. I’m sure only about half of the people there were Vegan though, 20% of people being (like me) those that just happened to stumble upon the event, and maybe 30% there were Instagram food models.
My senses started tingling as I embraced what was all around me, a vast plethora of booths serving essentially all Vegan products.
I saw… many people in line for different types of Vegan foods, including the one you can see below:
I couldn’t believe my eyes. The line was roughly 30 minutes to an hour long for some Vegan ribs. It was quite shocking to my eyes to see so many people dedicated to the proposition that these ribs would in any way taste delicious. The only ribs I will ever wait in line for are Phil’s BBQ.
I smelled.. lots of Vegan food and organic plants, as you can see below. Look how magical this lovely device is, which allows you to organically plant crops with an internal hydration system. I’m sure these devices are only used by Level 5 Vegans.
I heard… Vegan music blasting from the Vegan stage. I can’t say it’s all too different from regular music, but I’m sure their instruments are not made from animal products at all. Yay for Saxophones, which will always remind me of Lisa Simpson.
I touched.. a Vegan cow on the shoulder as I posed for a nice little Vegan photo. Little did he know his inevitable fate…
I tasted.. delicious Korean BBQ as me and my friends escaped the Vegan venue for some much needed meat in my diet. That poor meaty, delicious cow.
In all seriousness, I commend all Vegans for being able to maintain the lifestyle that they do. Being that I couldn’t even last as a vegetarian for 3 days, there’s no way I would be able to go Vegan. Perhaps if I was raised my whole life to never eat meat, I could inevitably avoid it, but this Phil’s BBQ lover is probably never going to go that route.
