Quality moments with lentilists
Discussion
A "portly" drop top Porker 
was waiting at a set of traffic lights this morning, top down, hat on, drinking his Hot Chocolate 
Lentilist commented about the calories in the Hot Chocolate rather indiscretly. To which he said, "You only live once - why don't you enjoy your food instead of eating vegetables" and smoked off some rubber
An excellent moment
Anyone else ever got one over on a numpty?

I usually find cooking smoked back-bacon, laying it between two pieces of chunky soft white bread, adding lashings of HP and sitting eating it (often with a cheeky late morning cold one...) with a contented look on my face does wonders for p'g off certain members of the cabbage crew... 
I annoy lentilists on an almost daily basis in my seminars. They'll go off on some confused rant patched together from several theoretical essentialist texts, and you undermine them and get them all hot under the collar with a single line of common sense.
There was one the other week who was trying to convince me that crime against rich people, and paying total benefits for those who didn't want to work was perfectly ethical, but actually making excessive cash wasn't. The guy was a self-confirmed Marxist.
I countered him with "Marx said 'from each according to his abilities, to each, according to his needs. So even Marx disagrees with you - you've got to put in to take out, and IMO if you put a lot in and take a lot out as a result, I don't think it's so bad."
He answered something along the lines of making it legal to steal Rolls-Royces and use them as taxies, so I said "OK then, I'll come round tonight steal your hi-fi and install it in a club, shall I?2
NO ANSWER!

One of my team is a numpty/lentilist, but with a rather worryingly large and wide Fascist streak. Especially on immigration - weird considering the guy has travelled the world and imported his missus from the sub-continent.
But he wants to save the planet - its just that he only wants to save his part of the planet. The guy is beige - cut him through and he bleeds taupe. But he worries me.

All you need to do is to point out that the extra years of your life are all at the wrong end.

Quality! Don't you just adore the patronisation of the lentilist group?
Happy birthday for Sunday BTW mate.
"Lentilists" is a great term, for sure, however it's effect is somewhat marred by the fact that one of my friends, who is an FTO-owning confirmed petrolhead, is also a vegetarian and does indeed eat lentils.
Funny old world, isn't it? You can have a car enthusiast who eats lentils and you can have completely anti-car people who like nothing better than tucking into a nice juicy steak.
Incidentally, did you specifically ask this person what their dietary predilection was before branding them a "lentilist", or was it just a bigoted knee-jerk reaction?

Im sorry, I didnt quite catch that, perhaps you could post it again?
Im a veggie and Im a petrolhead. Bear in mind that being a meat eater most definately does not preclude you from being stupid.
Tune in next week for 'dumbest things youve heard a petrolhead say'
gah: caught out here. For those who wondered, 8 of the same post could be found..
