Milk, meat and me ... forever

Our office vegan brought in bagels and non-dairy cream cheese today (derived of soy and tofu). I, not being one to let free food go unaccounted for, was the first one to help myself to the breakfast. As soon as I bit into my bagel, which of course had a healthy helping of the spread, the following conversation went down:

Me: [chewing] "Mmm, good."

Vegan: "That's what healthy tastes like."

Me: "How do you mean?"

Vegan: "Because it's non-dairy. You can't taste a difference can you?"

Me: "well no, but I don't have anything against dairy. My husband and I drink about 4 gallons of milk a week."

Vegan: "Milk is so bad for you."

Me: "Well, I like the calcium."

Vegan: "You should know milk actually leeches calcium from your bones."

Me: "So why do I have surplus calcium deposits growing on my scalp and the roof of my mouth?"

Vegan walks off. Obviously ignoring anything that goes against her wonky belief system.

But this woman doesn't stop at being vegan. She also tells whomever will listen that she makes major business decisions based on night visions God gives her, that aliens have to exist because there have been so many sightings, and also that President Obama and black people are going to ruin America. So you can instantly see the caliber of person I'm dealing with in my fight to defend meat and dairy. Any verbal effort on my part would fall on *deaf ears. You can't argue with crazy.

*Deaf refers to both closed-mindedness and incredibly old age.
