How the gently caress are you a vegetarian if you're this committed to going with the flow and not rocking the boat in all situations?

Not sure what I like the most about the implication of this: that the guy's vegetarianism is completely divorced from animal suffering or environmental concerns, or that Mookster's conception of a vegetarian is I LIKE EATING NOMMY NOM VEGGIE NOMS BECAUSE THEY'RE NUMMY IN MY TUMMY AND MEAT IS UCKY.

Mookie's ongoing quest to find excuses for vegetarians to eat the product of the slaughter of a sentient being without technically eating meat is really loving weird.

It is 100% that because orcs ate plants that were basically animals.

If Makena's fatal flaw (to the degree that DD's protagonists are allowed to have flaws) is that he's too anxious to back out from a bad situation, why'd he ditch Backer Character #2 so quickly? It was the right response to a guy offering a tauntaun belly tent, but it's also jarringly bold for someone who'd rather sit around listening to music he hates or eating food he hates than let someone think he's rude.

Depending on the approach at the feedlot and how you calculate it, it takes between 3-7 pounds of grain to create a pound of beef. Take the average of ~5, congratulations Mookie, you've hit upon a way to ensure that 80% of the food your world produces is wasted while also ensuring that animal suffering is involved with none of the benefits of actually consuming animal protein. Also, pusillanimous is an amazing word, really rolls of the tongue, and describes so well the self-insert characters that Mookie writes. And you know it's a self-insert because this comic as all of his comics is a D&D campaign he's playing with himself and the main character is a vegan.

Don't restaurants and pubs have signs either in the front of their place or up at the bar where patrons can easily see what the place is serving? How is this doofus only just now realizing the place only serves meat? And like the others said, just loving stand up and leave, Mookie. Nothing's stopping you from doing so, and if it bothers you so much, just tell the waiter you didn't realize there were no vegetarian dishes. How is this a loving problem???

I don't know. I want to link it to the numerous cases of him not 'getting it' re. so many other concepts but I just... I can't make it work. Either from despair or confusion on my part, I couldn't say. Maybe both.

No see if I turn this dead animal meat into plants, it retroactively undoes the ... death of the animal?? Is being a vegetarian like, does Mookie actually think it's a biological impetus? Like if he's willing to eat a dead animal that's been prepared in such a way that it suddenly has cell walls and chloroplasts and that's IT, then like, he's not doing this for any ideological purposes. This is digestive vegetarianism. Why is it always like this? Why are your Mookies always vegetarians but it's always because of herbivory ?? Mookie do you think you'll die if you eat a pig but you're fine with pigs being killed. Would you eat a pig if we processed it into a slurry and then processed it further so it had the texture of turnips. Mookie what the gently caress are you doing. This is your career. If you were just like a hobby artist I wouldn't give a poo poo but my dude this is your 20+ year career that you are proud of and brag about. This is your job.

How presumptuous do you have to be to enter a completely different community as someone with a specific diet and expect your tastes to be catered for? Would it be nice? Absolutely, but that's something I've only really seen in the modern era in specific businesses trying to target a specific demographic, by touting their vegan/vegetarian options front and centre. If I visited an entirely different race of people who presumably have completely different digestive systems given their have non-human physiology otherwise, I would maybe, like, read a loving book about what to eat on the way? Read a tourist pamphlet? Goovgle it? Why are Legacy-era self-inserts so pathetically passive and dependent?

They are obligate herbivores who vomit immediately if they ingest meat. They hunt and kill animals for their food, the animals are just made out of Plant instead of Meat.

If anything I'd think Mongreltown would be more mindful of dietary restrictions since its residents can apparently be anything and everything, including anthropomorphic animals. Maybe not this specific restaurant, but if he'd just ask for recommendations they could probably point him to where the ruminants or the frugivores hang out.

How is this doofus only just now realizing the place only serves meat? Yes. You might also find sign outside of bar that tell you which band is going to perform. Sadly, those are signs and not books, so they don't contain any useful knowledge. There are so many options. Politely excuse yourself, telling the waiter that you didn't realize there were no vegetarian options - this has probably happened before and they might even give him directions to the nearest plant-based restaurant. Make up an excuse like you're not feeling well. Sneak out. Escape from the restaurant walking backwards on all four while meowing like a cat. Set the place on fire.

They also have a fishing industry but not for food, they just catch the fish and mulch them into fertilizer. Anyways, loving what? Even if every dish has meat he can't just ask for a side of fries and a salad? Like I went through a vegetarian phase and if learned anything, it's that restaurants want your money.

The dumbest possible excuse to wave away that he forgot they were obligate herbivores. Just say they can eat fish and their meat allergy is alvpha-gal allergies which would at least show you know something interesting about science.

Reminder that in nature, there is literally no such thing as an obligate herbivore and pretty much all herbivorous species will eat a bit of meat if hungry.

Given that mongrel folk (ugh I hate that name) are all mix-and-match chimeras of different species, you'd think most restaurants would have both vegan and meat-based meals (and more unusual fare like, IDK, metals and gemstones for mineral-based creatures), or if they'd didn't, they'd advertise it by being called "Carnivore Cafe" or the like. Food alchemy is an interesting idea but this is the dumbest application of it!

I think what really bothers me is if Makena's single defining character trait is, 'too much a softboi to say he doesn't like something' then we should have gotten a longer salespitch from Augustus. Like, he clearly DOES ditch when he doesn't like/enjoy things. He even tells Augustus he's revolting!
