Occasionally, I am just more of a jackass than a Spiteful vegan.
In this post, I rambled some constructive (okay, perhaps not so constructive) criticism about a vegan/plant-based/healthy foods event I attended that was actually quite delicious.
So, I want to say a couple of things about that.
1. I'm sorry. It was rude. I was in an uber sarcastic critical mode and I have a habit of sometimes thinking my exaggerations and sarcastic musings and criticism are funny, when they actually are just rude (ask my mother, who's been wondering since I became a teenager why I am such a pain in the ass).
2. In no way am I a legitimate food critic. I write about the things I like to talk about, which happen to include food and my opinions on food, but no I haven't attend culinary school, taken a nutrition class, or even worked in a restaurant. That is, my opinions on food are from an every day vegan and not to be taken as legitimate food criticism from someone who...knows food. Maybe I should stick to the feminist musings that are actually well thought out and that I have a fairly educated opinion on, but I'll probably keep writing about food because it's yummy and interesting and important to me.
I'm spiteful but not unable to apologize.
I'm bummed that there aren't more 20 somethings who take an interest in attending events like the one I blogged about recently, but that's proooobably not a good reason to criticize people who put the event together. Would I like to see them reach out to a younger demographic? Yes. Is that their obligation or did that make their event a fail? No. And I'm sorry that my post made it sound that way. Just look at the pictures of tasty food and let your mouth water.
