The Whole Foods in Potrero Hill now has a food bar dedicated to vegan foods! Woo! They’re even making the sesame tofu with no honey! Screw you, Bee-gans!
They’re also selling Go Max Go! candy bars at all the Whole Foods in San Francisco.

» Schwarzenegger mocks animal cruelty legislation, on twitter
I still cannot believe this man is the governor of California. I was travelling in Uganda when it was announced that he would be replacing Davis and PEOPLE IN UGANDA were all, “WTF? REALLY?”
Seriously.

Hell with you, Starbucks
Yesterday Starbucks announced that it would be selling healthier, more natural, more delicious food alongside its enormous coffee menu. Hooray, the people said; hooray.
The new items include a banana bread that is “nearly 30 percent real banana;” the Marshmallow Dream Bar—a “sensible” alternative to those wicked, enfattening Rice Krispies treats—a blueberry-oat concoction with a streusel topping; a strawberry-banana smoothie made with 2 percent milk and whey powder; and the “Farmer’s [sic] Market Salad,” made of romaine, apples, dried cranberries, almonds, and bleu cheese. And no, they can’t take the cheese out, they come prepackaged.
What do the dairy-eschewers get? Hard to say. I believe it’s safe to assume that the fruit cup is exclusively fruit, but Starbucks loves to sneak milk and its byproducts into goddamn everything, and there is no actual nutritional information on the starbucks.com “nutritional information” page, so I would ask before purchasing.
One might think that with its headquarters in Seattle (a city with some fine vegan dining, I’m told), someone at Starbucks would realize that the vegan market is ripe for exploitation. Lord knows we love a baked good. That might even improve its image in our community, the majority of which holds Starbucks in low, low esteem (right? right).
But nooooo, instead the geniuses in charge add fucking cheese to their salads, take the yolks out of the egg sandwiches, and continue to act like a passel of doofuses whose choices do not merit all their company’s successes.
» Vegan Prom San Francisco!
They advertise that it’s, “It’s nothing like your high school prom.” but it will be a lot like mine because I’m not going! Oh snap! High five for traumatic formative years!
It’s not that I don’t want to go to it, it’s just that I already have plans. Way better, more important plans. Just like my real prom OKAY?
For all you cool kids, it’s Saturday, July 11th in San Francisco and it’s gonna be lots of fun. The $40 admission fee gets you lots of vegan food and drink and all profits go to the excellent Vegan Outreach. So go and have fun at prom and try not to get drunk off Boone’s Strawberry Hill and have unprotected sex with some jock at the Hilton. Or at the very least, use a condom. NO MORE BABIES HAVING BABIES!!
Ugh, further, I can’t believe we were scooped by Mission Mission on this. We are like, the crappiest vegans.
