Organic militants, vegans, and PETA members bum me out. I understand what they’re about and agree with the kind and peaceful vibe, however, I’m culinarily skeptical. As a general skeptic I don’t buy into anything 100 percent, but I’m really reluctant to jump on any “good for you” food movement d’jour because of…
