The Great Vegetarian Cabal of Twenty-Ten

Quinxy's House (map)

Selected By: Quinxy

Comrades! We unite tonight towards a common purpose, the wholesale overthrow and conversion of the carnivorous masses through cleverness, deception, truth, bribery, and/or force! Join us for a potluck supper where we will work out our top-secret plans.

Each attendee MUST submit three ideas for converting these carnivores. SEND me your THREE IDEAS by FRIDAY EVENING so I can credit your account, get your gold star ready, and create the meeting agenda. FAILURE to comply MEANS you will get NO DESERT.

Also, it's a POTLUCK, so UPDATE YOUR RSVP COMMENT to indicate WHAT you are BRINGING to EAT.

And in case you're not sure what sort of ideas we're looking for, here are some examples:


  • Discourage meat consumption by passing an extremely high meat/fish/poultry tax with the funds going to animal welfare (the cigarette tax approach)
  • Give federal/state tax credits to vegetarians/vegans.
  • Ration meat using a system of meat ration coupons (like they did in WWII)
  • Promote the eating of beloved animals (horses, dogs, cats) in an attempt at reverse psychology, by showing people the ridiculousness of thinking one animal is okay to eat and another off limits
  • Federal funds towards envitromeat development.

Submit your ideas now! And join us for a night of fine food and revolutionary thought!

    I had fun talking with everyone and stuffed my skinny face as fat as it would go. Thanks as always, Q, for the loan of the house...
