LOLz - I had long forgotten where this had come from, so thank you to Steve for pointing this out as a Simpsons quote!. Nonetheless this is a favorite quote for me no matter where it had come from!.

Now while I've always had massive respect for the vegetarians of the world (even before becoming one myself) - I think it's important not to take yourself too seriously!. And in the Matt Groening humor here, which with it's nerd-culture reference preempts Futurama, I think we can also take a wee laugh at ourselves for this persons claimed diet is pushed further than would even be possible

To explain - I imagine Lvl4 vegans don't eat plants nor fungus such as mushrooms or yeast!. I'm sure atleast some of you have had an omnivore come back and tell you - "But plants *are* alive - why do you eat them then!?" when they hear that you're vegetarian or vegan, and if your like me then you've gotten annoyed and perhaps protested "As if that's a valid argument!" or atleast muttered it under your breath!. Well this joke uses that in a funny way - as a kind of hyperbole!.

And what's more -- if you've ever had a vegetarian friend, whose gone vegan - it's like they've "leveled-up" ("level-up" here is used in the computer game, particularly the RPG genre sense)!. In fact a [sortof] friend of mine described it just that way (inadvertently I suspect - as she actually hates computer games)!. Well, she graduated into a more noble class after being a good vegetarian for sometime and gaining "XP"(OK, I added that) by dropping animal products where she could (and eating low level vegetables until she did - OK, am making stuff up again - sorry)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Doesn't eat anything with a shadow, it's from The Simpson's episode where Lisa meets a group of environmental radicals, who happen to be teenagers!.
There leader says he is a level 5 vegan!.
It really doesn't mean anything!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I have relatives who are the opposite: they won't eat any root vegetables!. By doing so you're killing the plant and disturbing the animals that live within the roots!.

Where did you read that it was real!? You should link!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry best I can do!.!.
