Even if most people don't care for the cause? Even if they hate the cause so much, that they get defensive if someone say the word vegan?

Think about it: if the star says they care about animals, then there's a good chance that animal rights activists will support them because they're perceived to be one of 'them'. Even if it's a genre that someone wouldn't normally be interested in. It's fashion and marketing. I'm not saying that some celebrities don't genuinely care about the things they advocate, but I was addressing the original statement.

I would just say that it makes the celebrity more interesting to some people. A bit of a quirk; something for the gossip magazines to talk about. People can wait with eager anticipation to the day that the celebrity says they are going back to eating meat. Or maybe they will develop some kind of illness. It's just a freak show really. If it's not veganism, it's some other diet, or maybe a religion or cult.

If a celeb said they were going to become a breatharian, that would grab the headlines...people would love to watch that; they could have their own 24hour TV show. People watch as the celeb falls to bits, or try and catch them out eating a bisuit; watch them die....like I said, a freak show. People aren't interested in becoming breatharians.
Going vegan isn't nearly as dramatic as... well.. giving up food (water?) 
But I guess I see your point.
What about taking it to the next step, and giving up breathing too?
Cerebellion You have a good point. Never thought of that.

Pinch yourself. If you feel it, you are 1. Awake, and 2. Not in a coma.what if I'm really in a coma?
My husband was in a coma for months after his head injury. He doesn't remember any of it, except when he first lost consciousness after he fell. He said it was like everything telescoped into a little dot (like the old tvs when they were turned off) and then the dot disappeared.
Why do seitan pictures posted on forums not look anything like the seitan I've tried?
It must be different if it's homemade to the stuff you buy in the jars or the seitan served in restaurants.

I've bought seitan and it does look similar to the one that I make. The only difference is that I recook it and either sautée it or gently simmer which would change the aspect.
I actually like seitan (even though it doesn't taste like meat) and prefer it to tofu.
I think that I'm going to make another batch and try and experiment with different ingredients.
I like seitan, too. I haven't found an already made one that I like, though...I always taste the soy sauce. So that's why I don't eat it often...because I have to make it myself and leave the soy sauce out of the recipe.
I wish I had taken a photo when I was in the restaurant, the one time I didn't take a pic of vegan food! The seitan I had there was really soft and squishy in texture but the homemade seitan looks like it would be crispy or crunchy on the outside.

Oh jumping the shark I think comes from the TV program Happy Days, where one of the characters jumps over a shark....it means when a TV program goes too far, from believable to not believable....just a joke.

Would it be bad if I called the warranty place and say I dropped my phone even though I threw it because I was so mad? Didn't throw it to get it replaced, I was just very emotional
