Vegans are now Terrorists? Anthony Bourdain must be thrilled!

What the hell? So now we are considered terrorists? Evidently, the FBI thinks so, as they are looking for informants to infiltrate "vegan potlucks" throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement. The effort’s primary mission, according to the Minneapolis division’s website, is to “investigate terrorist acts carried out by groups or organizations which fall within the definition of terrorist groups as set forth in the current United States Attorney General Guidelines.”

Here is a link to the full article.

According to another article, the man approached to become an informant had this to say: “Then for twenty minutes they flatter me about how my personality and appearance are perfect matches for what is required in some espionage dealio. They wanted me to crash vegan potluck parties and get into the inner circle of terrorists because supposedly terrorists are trusting and I’m “trustable, easy going, funny,” and a bunch of other flattery. Every time they said “vegan potluck” I chuckled, but their faces showed they weren’t kidding. They said “vegan potluck” half a dozen times. They really feared vegans and their violent conspiracies to blow up buildings in protest to the republican national convention."

Seems like Anthony Bourdain has some influence with the FBI, as he is the one who called vegans "terrorist scum."

Joshua Valocchi at Philadelphia Weekly asked about what Bourdain calls a “plague of vegetarians”:
“These fucking people are not really all about us not eating duck liver,” snarls Bourdain. “No, no, no. They don’t want us eating any animal product whatsoever.
“When they win this tiny battle, they’ll move to the next one, like freeing the lobsters."
“These people,” says Bourdain, “are the worst kind of terrorists. And they must be stopped.”
