dontxhide Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I know we have all seen the Simpsons episode where the environmentalist states he is a level five vegan and "I dont eat anything that casts a shadow." Well, I went to a Noodles and Company for lunch and the manager said he actually met REAL level 5 vegans. He told me, dead serious, that someones asked for vegan penne rosa, received the item, then took it back because it had tomatoes in it. He said he doesnt eat tomatoes because he is a level 5 vegan and doesnt eat anything with a shadow. This manager I spoke to was dead serious. He said he has ran into them doing the same thing at other restaraunts? I'm pretty sure these guys are pulling his and Noodles and Company's leg, but to take it to such an extreme of returning food because it has a shadow? He said that they actually come into Noodles and Company and request a lvl 5 vegan meal (which I have no idea what that is). The manager was DEAD serious. So either the manager is joking with me or the guys are taking the SImpsons joke to such a length that they are pulling the joke on other people.

damdaman Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Name one food that doesn't "cast a shadow." You wouldn't be able to eat anything. Everything casts a shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well supposedly casts a shadow while growing is the rule. IE. Carrots, Potatos? I dont know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damdaman Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah but the plant that those grow on still cast a shadow... and unless you grow your own and are REALLY REALLY careful the plant is killed during harvesting. I don't think there is such a thing, and anyone claiming there is got took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 That's what I'm thinking. But the manager swore he met these guys lol Supposedly, because the carrot doesnt cast a shadow while its growing, only it stems grow, you can eat that. I guess? I'm pretty sure they just took the joke to far, far enough to convince this manager guy ~shrugs~ The manager was so convinced that when I asked him what else was vegan he asked me what level I was, with a dead face and completely serious tone. He was about ready to tell me what level of vegan I am which food I could eat lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hah. I dunno if they're serious or not. But the concept of not eating something which casts a shadow whilst its growing is stupid. And what constitutes "casting a shadow"? Underground, everything will be in "shadow" - it will have no light getting to it, which is what a shadow is. So technically, the whole thing is one big shadow. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 as wheat grows it casts a shadow....was it wheat pasta? i'm also not sure why the shadow is so important, shadows do not imply sentience. Stupid people so easily influenced by t.v... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pink Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ghosts don't cast shadows. And are not living so they can't feel pain. Level 5 Vegans must eat Ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've been vegan long enough that I know when people are usually fucking with me because of my diet. Now unless this guy is an absolute stone cold actor, I'm talking Grammy award winning, then he believed everything he was saying. Now, I didn't believe him but when you see someone who is so sure something like that is true, it has to make you wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
