Vegan Beef of the Day: While scrolling through VegNews one day, the Level 5 Vegans @ QuarryGirl stumbled upon something rather unsavory: It seems “the nation’s premier print and online vegan magazine” has been purchasing iStockphotos of decidedly non-vegan meals, then photoshopping them to appear “vegan,” and slapping them on the site’s recipes.

Though the scandal is delectable, vegans everywhere are losing their appetite for VegNews, and subsequently canceling their subscriptions in droves (QuarryGirl says it not only canceled its subscription, but also shipped back the award it received from the publication).

FWIW, VegNews issued a statement [pdf] blaming the usage of meat-based stockphotos on cost constraints, saying “it is simply not financially feasible for VegNews at this time [to use custom-shot photography for every spread].”

Part of a ‘nightmare’ I had last night was that I accidentally bought a coat with fur trim and was immediately consumed with liberal/vegetarian/Jewish guilt. I’m a vegetarian and even so my subconscious brain makes me feel bad about killing animals. WTF brain?
