    When I started eating vegan, I had a bit of an existential crisis, because all my foods were either plants or salt. (I’m not really into mushrooms so far.)

    That existential crisis settled down when I realized that it’s not terribly different from non-vegan diets, since milk, eggs and meat are derived from plants just as well. And presumably, mushrooms are in some roundabout way, too.

    Except then I got an existential crisis, because the entire human food chain foots on plants. We’re made from 100% plant material, how are we not just salty plants?
