Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 10, 2019

Grow your own coffee beans and go fishing.

They could tell you that what you consume is sustainable, but how do they prove it?

The customer will be experiencing sustaining stars with his current sustaining attitude

even Bart van Olphen of his YouTube channel “Bart’s Fish Tales” says to make sure your seafood with which you’re going to be cooking comes from a sustainable source

Is the planet a sustainable source? Not for long!

Sure we have a sustainable source! Mutual Fish just down the street always has fish!

What sort of people does Stephan put in this strip?!?!?!?!?!

The fish I can understand. But insisting on sustainable coffee? What does that mean? They don’t use wild coffee bushes.

Find a restaurant that caters to your naturally-sourced needs or stay home, moron.

To be fair where I’m from finding ethically-produced coffee (i.e. not from Nestlé or Douwe Egberts) is a non-trivial problem.

Coffee with fish?

From what I’ve seen, Rar has no problem sustaining his anger.

You go Rat ! If it’s not sustainable they will be out of business…………Croc Power!

I stopped eating talapia after watching talapia farming on Dirty Jobs. Talapia= “Poop Fish”!

Years ago, I was mentally smashing a plate over a client’s head as he declared he was vegetarian and spent several minutes pouring over the lunch menu. After finally choosing the vegetable soup, the waitress told him it used a chicken broth, and the search resumed.

Better idea…stay at home and do your own cooking, and QUIT ANNOYING THE REST OF US!!

Stop promoting violence in comics, Pastis!

RAT just did what some are thinking….just order…stop with the scrutiny already…..if you’re THAT picky, stay home!

Does the coffee use gluten free water???

Sustainably sourced Soylent Green?

When people make these type of requests, they are making a statement about their values. They are expressing what they believe in, and they are willing to back their beliefs by paying for them. This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is something to be admired.

Virtue signaling. The up front comment that warns you “there be obnoxious conversation ahead”.

If he is so conscious of sustainable sources, why is he eating out? restaurants notoriously waste food because they want to serve perfectly cut servings. If you ever want to be truly disgusted, go look at a restaurant’s garbage bin.Enough food in one day to feed a family for a week.

It is not often that I agree with Rat!

I am greatly amused.

Go rat GO!!!

Had a lady ask for a ‘Cruelty-free’ turkey at the store last Thanksgiving. Lady, they been beheaded, gutted, plucked, and are laying in a meat case. Anyway you look at it, cruelty was involved.

My daughter has gotten on an ethically raised kick that my wallet can ill afford. About ready to tell her she can join her mother in the purgatory of veganism.

. . . “sustainable” or not, check out where the meat or fish was processed. Fish, chicken, and other meat is being sent to China to be processed. Who knows under what sanitary conditions? Reading the label might help, though the FDA is less concerned, these days. :’(

Go rat! That lazy-ass snowflake should do his own homework so that he knows Tilapia is very sustainable and quite delicious when rubbed with lemon pepper and fried in olive oil.

really? then i guess you don’t mind if i start a tire fire in your backyard – i mean, you don’t want to be overly sensitive mr sjw.

Rat rids us of a stuffy prig! I find it hard to object, though I know I should….

Hipsters beware: there are plenty more like him out there.

“Why, Yes! This chicken was sustainably sourced! My cousin Sustain got it from the grocery store himself!”
