    “Because he’s following his principles, he is literally now subsisting on bread and water,”

    And my first thought was “NOW he has principles?”

      My thoughts exactly. Affluent jackass is still affluent… And a jackass.

    *choosing to live on bread and water because he doesn’t want to eat the food

    Next you’ll be telling me they won’t let him leave, even though he wants to.

      This guy is in the extremely morally confused end of the Effective Altruist movement. He has an ethical compunction against eating animal products, but not against stealing. Veganism is far from universal among EAs, and most have at least a game-theoretic objection to stealing.

        This guy is in the wolololololo school just like Steve Jobs. He’s so addicted to feeling like he’s smarter that he’ll spout any and all bullshit that will give him an opportunity to be in the role of the one who’s explaining it to his uninformed listener.

    Yesterday’s article said it was bread, water, and peanut butter - now it’s just bread and water? I guess tomorrow we’ll hear that it’s just water alone?

    I don’t understand. Surely they have foods that are vegan besides bread and water, right? Like, some vegetable being served or something?

    I’ve heard this before and would like to spread the word: the dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed.

    Okay. Let him self-induce scurvy if he wants to.
