Vegans don't like green eggs and ham. Vegans won't eat them anywhere.

I do not like them, Sam I am.

I had a cat whose name was Sam. She wouldn't eat green eggs and ham.

I remember in the early 2000's Heinz decided to make ketchup in different "fun" colors, including green. It made eggs and ham green, but I did not like it. Neither did anyone else and Heinz went back to just plain red ketchup.

Vegans may not like them, but I sure do!

They say red meat is bad for you, but I think it's a lot worse for you if it's green. Or blue.

Veganism, in general, is just whatever will shock one's bourgeois parents - there's not really any discernible set of principles behind it.

And there I was thinking it was about not consuming animal products.

I've read about science experiments where they gave people food that was dyed unusual colors, like blue eggs. The dye was non-toxic and wasn't supposed to affect the flavor of the foods, but people said it tasted terrible.

I know when a food doesn't "look right" it triggers our instincts that it might poison us, but if they thought it tasted bad too it must have been their imagination.

I'm still trying to figure out which tastes better, pink cream soda or clear cream soda.

Interesting. I suspect if I took that test I'd show up as pretty much impervious to the colour of food. I've often thought it strange that they feed pink dye to farm salmon because otherwise the product turns out grey and that puts people off buying it. Me, if I ate fish at all, I'd rather it be grey than have to eat food dye. I'm not that scared of the dye they use, just that it's a bit of an unknown risk - some say it's harmless, others say it's dangerous, so how the hell do I know, so I have to conclude that there's a question mark on it, and to me it makes sense to avoid eating something that's of questionable safety without a good reason. Same with coloured tablets - I hear they encourage some folks to buy more if the uppers are red and the downers are blue, and the colouring might have a placebo effect on some people, but in my case the presence of useless additives just puts me off buying them and I very much doubt the placebo effect would work on me, I think I'd just worry about the dye I'd eaten. It'd make a good study, testing whether or not the colour of ingestables makes less difference to Aspies than it makes to NTs.
