I mean. As long as you don't put the onions or your hands near your eyes you'll be fine.

[@jaysworldofficial1]

Instead, the onions cry because of how metal he is 🤟

[@yoursugarismine]

It’s because he’s so tall that he’s quite far from the onions!

When he first said it, I was like, what duck? And then the camera panned to him. Lol, great comedic timing :) . Based on the hair, do you reckon that's the drummer? That's what I'm thinking anyways. Whoever it was, I guess they just weren't in the mood to be on camera.

[@higler.]

Those Gardien "Meat"balls are the bomb. Ironically cooking some right now as I watch this :) btw, they are vegan meatballs. Yes, they are still technically vegetarian(all vegan food is), but they are vegan since they are free of all and any animal ingredients. Makes me wonder if they are all vegan. When he opened his dry food drawer it looked like my pantry lol

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for the info. I personally try to avoid using the word Vegan in our videos because it seems to be a word that pisses off people for some reason. I'm honestly not sure why.

[@higler.]

For sure, like morningstar, which is almost all non-vegan. They target such a narrow market, I don't get it. 'Cause vegan food is vegetarian food, but not vice versa. It can be a bit "hard" at times, but it's worth it to me 100%.

[@TextureOfCouch]

It pisses them off by association to the vegans who try to dictate the lives of others and judge people who use any product made from an animal. It seems that the majority of vegans act like they are better than everyone else just for simply being vegan. It even puts a slight sour taste in my mouth, but I know not all vegans are that way. I am pretty sure that is why the word is recommended to be avoided. I am not saying whether or not I agree, but I think that is why.

[@higler.]

Like their aren't douchebags that eat meat? Come on, douchebags come in all shapes, sizes, and diets. But I understand your point. As stupid as it is; special snowflakes can't handle the word vegan without having an immediate emotional reaction.

[@TextureOfCouch]

I never said there were not awful people who eat meat; I was only simply explaining the reason. I do not care what anybody else eats because it has nothing to do with my life. If only more people had that mind set...
