HAD ENOUGH KALE?
As I’ve mentioned before, a local fellow has parodied my EAT MORE KALE shirt. This weekend a local paper called THE BRIDGE contained an ad that read as follows.
Had Enough Kale? vermontpelier t-shirt works’ politically incorrect t-shirt bears the MEAT EATING MARJORITY’S long overdue battle cry: EAT MORE MEAT. Black letters on a BLOOD RED t-shirt that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Buy yours at……..
If there are any Montpelier folks reading this, did you think I’d expanded my business? What did you think of the ad? Maybe later in the spring, we could host a Kale eaters vs. Meat eaters soccer match. Or we could sponser a “who lives longer” competetion. Any Ideas?

I think you ought to make a t-shirt that says “MEAT EATERS STEAL OTHER’S IDEAS”.
I saw EAT MORE MEAT somewhere in town and thought it was one of yours. They even copied your font. I know you are a good-hearted person who won’t get angry with them but I think it kind of stinks.
I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but they should have talked to you first.

By the way, in full disclosure, I eat meat. I don’t want folks to think I’m anti-meat eaters. I’m just “anti-ripping off a name and design that someone has worked hard to create and promote”.

Laugh and enjoy it. It’s no big deal–kinda fun, actually. There are a LOT of things people could be eating more of (make whatever joke out of that you want). Kale and meat go very nicely together. Especially in soup.
