it’s as reasonable an explanation as i’ve ever seen or heard regarding vegetarians. if we weren’t meant to be omnivores, God wouldn’t have evolved us a taste for meat.
My Vega, with its aluminum head endlessly separating from its cast iron block was able to reach the top of the hill at work when 8 co-workers pushed .I knew it had a third gear but was never able to reach escape velocities to leave second. The third best $200 car I bought as a recycler..
So an alien (ET, not Mexican) from the Vega star system, living among us in Las Vegas, riding around in a Chevrolet Vega, and abstaining from meat-eating, would be a… “Vegan Vegan Vegan Vegan”; is that right?
So, to explain it to Montanna Lady - a Vegan is a committed vegetarian. The wizened old bird knows this. Young Skyler of course is of the TV generation and thinks more along the lines of Star Trek, Star Gate, Star Wars, etc…
It took you 38 years, but you finally crippled GM! I had a nice Chevrolet salesman suggest I keep my ‘72 Plymouth Scamp rather than buy a Vega. Maybe he helped, too. But I’ve been satisfied with the Nova, Astro, Lumina, Cavalier, Corsica, Corsica, Century, LeSabre, and Century we have owned over the years since then. Along with a Volare, Horizon, Omni, Spirit (and Grand Marquis briefly) thrown in. Thinking about Impalas, Malibus, and Volts now.

What we have no star trek fans? Spock was a Vulcan

Las Vegas? It may seem like another world, but it’s still part of the US. What makes you think God allowed us to evolve a taste for meat?

Actually Spock was from Epsilon Eridanai.
I had two Vegas. Both died from a cracked block. Aluminum.

When ever I hear about vegans, I think about the star, too.

The politically active Vegans are, indeed, aliens.

I thought that they were raptors, so how could Uncle Horace be a vegan?

Once knew a guy who turned vegetarian and tried to convert his 2 labs to become vegetarian, too.
@victor1234 - then you didn’t have a 1970’s vintage Datsun.
My 69 Datsun had more rust in it than my 59 MGA!
And it seems to me, my sister’s 1980 Honda had its rusted fenders replaced under warranty.
Maybe if they hadn’t used cardboard inside the panels for sound proofing…
At least they ran, unlike my friend’s Vega.

Yes, it ran on dilithium chlorophyl crystals, and it never had enough energy to lift off. It was a lanky little ship, very pale in color.

I had a ‘71 Vega, it’s the reason I’ll never buy another GM product.

Hmm, nobody appears to have thought of the obvious – Vogon from HHGTTG. That’s the first thing I thought of.

Are Vegans from Vega (Alpha Lyrae)?
