I make no apologies for the fact that StumbleUpon is one of my biggest hobbies so it upsets me when I get endless, boring drivel when I click the stumble button.
The largest problem lately, well anything to so with food.
At one time I remember beautiful, wonderful recipe suggestions. Blueberry crumb bars… pumpkin fudge… red velvet cake.
So I’m a little pissed when every freaking food item coming up lately is gluten-free. Yes, yes some people are allergic to gluten but I’m not. In fact I’m a glutton for gluten and I sure as hell did not ask for the all the scary ways to make bread and dough based products without using wheat flour.
Then when it’s not bread made with rice and tapioca it’s all the freaking vegan suggestions. I personally don’t mind a lot of vegetarian and vegan food, things like tofu and tempeh have a regular place in my diet, however there is probably not a single vegan/vegetarian recipe site out there that doesn’t proselytize. “Your evil for even thinking of consuming anything derived from animals!” Peppered with pseudo-upbeat phrases of how great veganism is; “Eating vegan doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, it is the most exciting way to eat!” That one is courtesy of The Vegan Chef. Funnily enough I can think of lots of crazy ways to make eating exciting and not one of them includes a salad.
“The recipes section contains a large selection of my vegan creations, many of which are raw, wheat-free, gluten-free, low-fat, and/or sugar-free.”
Oh kill me now.
