  • Where can I get one of these magic garbage cans that only exists when I want to throw something away?

  • that look at the end. love it

  • I'd like to meet a vegan who has never:

    Eaten marshmallows

    Taken Birth control

    Taken insulin

    Taken just about any kind of medicine. Poor little rats...

    Eaten jello

    Driven a car

    All of those things involve animal products and by-products. It's impossible to be truly vegan, so any vegan who says he or she is one is immediately a hypocrite.

    Hypocrisy stems from accidental ignorance more often than not, and that's fine. It's what we do when we discover it about ourselves that matters.

  • @Shukochan it's about minimizing harm, not being perfect. trying one's best to be mindful of the impact on animals and the environment is not hypocrisy. and maybe some people prefer not to eat animal products for personal reasons. you shouldn't feel threatened or offended by that.

  • "Oh I like the taste of bacon but not the fact that it's bacon" VEGAN LOGIC

  • Veganism is for soft, mentally weak people.

  • lol @ defensive meat eaters. why do vegetarians threaten you so much? people can make whatever dietary choices they want. you're free to eat meat, and vegetarians are free to abstain from eating meat. get over it.

  • @o0ShashiSharma0o It's mostly because vegans are obnoxious, insufferable retards who prattle on about how they're more ethical and righteous than everyone else because they don't consume the product of animals.

  • @s0beit making big sweeping statements about any group of people does not reflect well on your argument. no vegan i have ever met has been anything but a humble and thoughtful person. i'm sorry if you have had a bad experience with someone who is a vegan but you really can't claim that that reflects on all vegans. and i have to say, you are the one who is coming across as obnoxious right now. peace.

  • @o0ShashiSharma0o Nailed it on the head!

  • No fair, this guy books up both top comment spots... no one ever pays me in thumbs...

  • vegetarians are incredibly stupid

    humans are not herbivores. if you're truly concerned about saving animals and think starving yourself of a bacon will save all the cows in the world, maybe you should reconsider your life

    join a charity if you want to make a difference.

  • @jonting91 not only that, but they should reconsider that bacon comes from pigs, not cows.

  • if you're going to be vegetarian, or vegan, don't make "pretend meat," just stick to salads and steamed veggies and the like. any attempt at making non-animal meat replacement just ends up ruining what its supposed to be. its not worth the effort.

  • When I saw this, I just laughed and said Oh that gosh darn Ron Swanson at it again! I did not however, explore the fascinating world of how vegetarianism is a first world luxury, and from this I get that I am probably an idiot. Maybe I'll go ride a bike or something.

  • what show is this from?

  • @Hettdizzle Parks and Recreation

  • @AutophobicNightmare, I think you're getting the hang of this "YouTube comment" thing!

  • Vegan bacon is truly a horrible thing.

  • If you vegans love animals then why do you keep eating all of their food?? Hmm?

  • I'm vegetarian and vegan bacon is disgusting.  He did the right thing.

  • Ron Swanson is the shit dogsie!!! And fuck vegans.

  • I'm not even going to bother reading the pointless arguments in the comments....it would take too much effort to give a shit.

  • This tastes like band-aid. I want real bacon

  • goddamn April and Ron were made for each other.

  • This is the first result for the search "Ron Swanson self defense."

  • mattlamb might also be dyslexic......

  • Vegan bacon is actually really good surprisingly.

  • @ophy4 ROTFL!! im sorry but thats the most retarded thing i have ever read on youtube

  • Hahaha thats great

  • LOL! "Gimmie some 'bacon'. *Throws in trash.* "Gimmie some more." *Again in trash.* And I loled when April and him gave each other that bonding look:P

  • Ron fuckin' Swanson for president.

  • That man is genius. Homer Simpson better watch out!

  • @Intranetusa

    You really believe that? Eating thick cuts of steak and boneless chicken breasts are first world luxuries. Most developing nations have rather elementary diets consisting of rice, corn and various grains.

  • @chrisroor

    Reread my post. I am talking about Veganism, which is not eating meat or animal products. Virtually all people in poor and developing nations rely on fish, meat, or milk as their main or important supplemental source of protein. The grains you mentioned do not provide nearly enough protein and other nutrients.

    Poor people don't have the luxury to buy vegan fake-meat, and have to supplement their diet in any way they can.

    Like I said, Veganism is a first world luxury.

  • @Intranetusa Thank you! I want to be vegan or at least try it, but I'm a poor college student that barely has enough money to eat and will probably get screwed from student loan debts.

  • @ArdentArden

    In my junior year, my diet consisted of potatoes, whole wheat bread, broccoli, eggs, chicken, and whatever was on sale at my local grocery store. If there is a local "East Asian" supermarket in your area (the really big chain markets, not the small ones), they usually have meat, vegetables, and fruits that are significantly cheaper than American supermarkets. Good luck!

  • @Intranetusa "Veganism is a first world luxury."

    You just don't know what you´re talking about...

  • @MrDjegovsky

    Read the comments.

  • @Intranetusa I've read the comments and I still think what you said doesn't make sense. I come from a third world country and I know lots of vegans who are poor. Just because you are a vegan it doesn't mean you must buy veggie bacon or veggie sausages or whatever, neither you have to eat at fancy organic raw vegan cafés. There are hundreds of other foods that are cheap and nutritious available.

    And you are also wrong about meat products being the only source of protein. Very wrong.

  • @MrDjegovsky

    They are not vegans. They are people who are vegetarians by religion or people who simply can't afford meat, milk, etc. The definition of vegan is a person who avoids ALL animal products by CHOICE... People in poor 3rd world country do not deliberately choose to avoid important sources of nutrition.

    Never once did I say meat, milk, fish, etc are the only sources of protein. If you bothered to read my comment, I said they are important SUPPLEMENTAL sources of protein.

  • @Intranetusa You still don't get it. I am saying that I KNOW these people, so I can say with no doubt they are vegans (and not for religious reasons). And I am telling you they eat like that by their own choice. Of course I cannot talk about everyone in all third world countries, but I can certainly say that I know vegans who are poor, therefore your comment was based only on generalization. It's your opinion, it doesn't mean it should be true just because you believe in it.

  • @Intranetusa Yep, Veganism is a first-world luxury, just like how not getting shot with an AK or not dying of Dysentery are first world luxuries.

  • @NoHate24 Posting from my main account now, I understand my metaphor was a bit extreme but you see my point. Just because it isn't possible in the third world doesn't make it a luxury for the first world.

  • @Intranetusa Funny you should say that, lentils alone are 26% protein by mass. Huge swathes of Africa and Asia have diets that are entirely vegan and have been so for millennia. Hardly a first world luxury.

  • @Promethias1

    "Proteins by mass" is hardly a good way to determine what is a healthy diet and not. All living cells have proteins, you might as well tell people only to eat cucumbers. Human proteins are made up of 20 different amino acids, and it can be hard not to be malnurished if you're not eating meat. These 'vegans' in Africa and Asia are vastly malnurished, and hardly vegan by choice. You should learn a bit about the subject before you tell people what to eat to be healthy.

  • Veganism is a first world luxury.

  • @Intranetusa

    really because last time i checked somalians don't eat animal products of anykind

  • @darkelf2x1

    That's funny, because the fishing industry in Somalia is one of their largest industries.

    Meat and fish are some of their main sources of protein.

    Google Somalian cuisine.

  • @Intranetusa holy shit 2 top comments on the same video, man, THIS IS YOUR YEAR

  • @Intranetusa or a third world necessitation.

  • @veganvvarrior

    Poor people are not Vegans in the 3rd world. No poor person has the luxury to not eat any animal products. Veganism is only a first world luxury.

  • @Intranetusa

    Your point being?

  • @Intranetusa it could be argued that it is a first world moral obligation. If we have the means to get the nutrition we need without killing animals, we should. The only reason we do is for enjoyment or taste. To eat a living thing solely for taste is wrong.

  • @Intranetusa so is wasting food, as it seems :\

  • @Intranetusa ...and a First World Problem. ;-)

  • i would love to see Ron Swanson and Creed Brittan sit down and have a chat.

  • If you don't like meat, why eat bacon?

    I don't like eggs plain, but I wouldn't go as far as fabricating some other substance to mimic it.

  • I think April is Rons long lost daughter, they're hilarious together.

  • Isn't that the guy who marries the bacon burger in the Jack in the Box commercial?

  • Parks & Rec is fucking amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • the origins of gay bacon ladies and gentlemen 

  • I love april

  • "Another, please."

  • 27 vegans have watched this video

  • @THemoauveavenger I watched it & i liked it.

  • @THemoauveavenger and I'm a vegan.

  • It's even funnier the second time you watch it!

  • @lenny108 I don't eat meat, but this is friggin hilarious. I made it a personal choice for me not to eat meat but I don't care what other people want to eat

  • I love how April maintains eye contact while throwing it in the trash

  • That guy was an intern on Grey's Anatomy!

  • @roseypatosey And for acting on such a shit show, he's now punished by playing a minor role as a vegan pussy.

  • @lenny108 Ron doesn't have a problem... you do! There is WAY to much sand in your vagina.

  • i approve this video

  • @lenny108 what the hell are you talking about? The real problem is that we have to waste valuable resources keeping people like you alive. Sometimes I wish we could enact natural selection on humans.

  • @lenny108

    People have the right to live how they want and eat what they want. Also I'm pretty sure that the vegetative food industry leads to excessive agriculture which leads to the destruction of topsoil, pesticides in our food, and monoculture which in turn leads to disease as well as famine so it's probably as bad as the meat industry. Ron's not a real person so you should relax a bit. It's a show and Ron was designed to be opinionated, sarcastic, and obnoxious.

  • @DixieDregs22 No doubt about it, if it feels good do what you like and see what happens! I just mentioned that there are 7 bn people on this planet who might do the same as you. Animals require species-appropriate keeping and mostly this is what makes animals sick, locked up in a tiny cage. Plants have no problem with this, they stay at one place.

  • @billywms I don't have multiple stomachs or gizzard stones. If you do I'd like to meet you.

  • I love the look April and Ron share at the end!

  • This reminds me of the Wright Brand Bacon they were sampling at a fishing expo I attended. I kept going back for more, except instead of throwing it out I ate it because it was real bacon.

  • Those saying we are carnivore or herbivore are both wrong. Actually we are omnivore, like bears, we have the dentition to eat meat and veggies, and digestive tracks are for that too.

  • Don't mess around with Ron F***n Swanson

  • As a man who loves his bacon to be fake....I laughed my ass off! hahahaha

  • i would kill for that vegan bacon. only when you are vegan do you realize how important such rare substitutes are.

  • Comment removed

  • watched it 3 times... hahaha

  • Loved April's face in this one!

  • " Hey mark.. I'm in you O.S lab.. Great job with facebook man.. Ya know i could've sworn he was looking at you when he said the next bill gates could be in this room.. I showed up late I don't even know who the speaker was" .. Does that bacon sample guy look familiar ?

  • Yeah April, always sticking up for her boss.

  • fun fact.

    high fat diets have been proven in clinical study healthier then ow fat diets both weight loss, and heart health

    carbs, are in fact, the reason for heart disease and other health issues.

  • @usrevenge

    Is that why china is obese?

  • Hahaha

  • ron and april validate each other so well.

  • I'm vegan, love that fake bacon, this is hilarious, you're not gonna like it if your taste buds arent used to it

  • @Jaysus777Live Or if you actually enjoy the taste of bacon.

  • @csmybuttt ah yes, that is a factor too lol

  • I like how the video is titled Ron Swanson on Vegan Bacon and all he's doing is throwimg it away. He can make you laugh by barely saying anything.

  • That Aubrey girl is hot. I'll give her some real bacon if she wants her appetite pork'd

  • has anyone else noticed the similarities to Ron Swanson and Ron Paul????

  • @girelephanebra my girlfriend likes to think the writers just based his character off of paul and that's why she's voting for him.

  • I'm hilarious and I think this is vegan.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:25

    I'm so proud of you face

  • @avithemostill I am completely appalled at the fact that I've never noticed that she was from Scott pilgrimDx

    but she just became that much awesomer.

  • IM BLACK AND NIGGAS R BUGGIN.

  • pwnd

  • Well i'm Vegan and i'm OFFENDED!!!...no i'm not. i just thought someone might as well say it.

  • Ron Swanson is awesome.

  • I'm not a vegan, but I think they're hilarious.

  • I'm hilarious, and I think this is vegan!

  • Aprils is like Ron's daughter haha. It's that good/strange of a relationship.

  • I love Ron/April moments...

  • the girl from scott pilgrim is fuckn hott

  • My Gosh! I'm laughing incredibly hard here hahaa! Never thought a TV show could make me do this!

  • Chuck Norris wish's he could be half the man Ron Swanson is.

  • @MrMoneybags93 too far bro

  • Ron Swanson is my favorite character next to Super Hans from Peep Show.

  • Ron Swanson is a man that simply rules. In all aspects of life, mind you.

  • This was very funny, even from my vegan point of view.

  • Comment removed

  • The sad/funny thing is that facon is actually that stiff and tasteless

  • i like how ron swanson's character being a PARODY goes completely over some peoples heads

  • @LobsterPotsticker I don't know if he's completely a parody. By that standard Leslie would be a parody too since her liberal beliefs are made fun of too. Both Ron and Leslie have aspects that parody someone with their viewpoints (libertarian and liberal) but at the end they're both supposed to be admirable characters.

  • @crazysouthie well of course Leslie is a parody

    i wouldn't consider her a total lib though. she seems to try to not have a stance on issues

    like gay penguins or anything controversial

    and her wall has a lot of opposing people like michel bachman, hillary clintin, palin, etc

  • @billywms same

  • @billywms im a vegan and i hate that shitty 'bacon'. my brother is not, and he loves it. so no.

  • Was this guy released from his interning on greys anatomy???

  • meat=cancer

  • @ILuvJoeJonasSoMuch01 You are the cancer of youtube

  • @DramaticPrairieDog You are the cancer of youtube

  • @ILuvJoeJonasSoMuch01 Worth it.

  • I love facon bacon, but this was pretty hilarious. You can't convert them all....

  • @rainbowzombiegoat is it made from pig? no? then it can not be called bacon

  • @rainbowzombiegoat lol..I know, I love vegan bacon too...I was like "nooooo, don't throw it away..give it to me!!" ;)

  • @littlefurballs GROSS!! You eat that crap?! This is what happens when that guy stopped giving Ron & April the vegan bacon samples, poor unfortunate people had a chance to eat it. I am truly sorry that Ron couldn't save you from that vegan bacon :(

  • @yatithebeast good, more for me

  • Jesus shut up everyone it's a show

  • @Quinnasaurusrex I concur

  • @Quinnasaurusrex DONT YOU TELL JESUS WHAT TO DO

  • I am a proud meat eater and avid hunter. I love a great big juicy steak and generally speaking, if there is not meat on the table for dinner I am usually uninterested. All the meat I eat has a chance to run its life, unlike the countless trillions of plants innocently slaughtered in this country every year in the name of "saving the animals". When is someone going to take up their cause? This summer, I was admiring the beauty of broccoli in my garden; it was cut down before it ever had a chance.

  • @JohnGil37

    Thank you for this comment

  • I like how legitimate political and economic issues are commonly disregarded in today's conversations, but when anyone mentions diet, everyone starts foaming at the mouth.

    Seriously, children. Grow the fuck up.

  • What's with all the arguing about veganism/vegetarianism vs. eating meat in the comments? People have the right to choose what they will and will not consume, there is no point in judging one another's lifestyles. (And BTW - I'm vegan and think this scene is hilarious.)

  • Greatest "Man's man" since Al Bundy

  • EpicMealTime needs to see this.

  • I think it's funny that some vegans claim that humans are suppose to be vegans, not carnivores... And then they eat veggie-STEAKS, veggie-BACON and soy-SAUSAGES.

    Brb, i'm gonna go grab some carrots shaped steaks...

  • @gombie You could make a much better argument against veganism if you did some research, them pressing their food into meat shapes and meat flavors to get meat eaters to give their lifestyle a chance is just good marketing, it doesn't really make a case for meat eating. You could easily make better arguments for meat eating though.

  • @AMpufnstuf

    Yeah well, many vegans say they protest the food industry and the mistreatment of animals. And when they're offered ecological meat that's ethically produced, they still won't eat it.

  • @gombie How do you ethically produce meat?

  • @AMpufnstuf

    Well let's see.. By not abusing the animals, by not keeping them in tiny boxes and so on.

    Let them live on farms and stuff like that.

    By the way, why do vegans complain about hunting? Isn't that basicly more ethical and natural than meat industry's meat?

  • @gombie I still don't think you can "produce meat ethically" but I agree hunting is a much more honest approach to it assuming you eat your kills. The meat industry is americas dirty and disease ridden system for avoiding the guilt of eating other animals.

  • @AMpufnstuf But it's no different with the farming industry as farms destroy habitats, have historically caused intentional and unintentional introduction of destructive species into the ecosystem, and so forth. Small true organic farming simply cannot sustain the world's growing population and so takes up even more land.

  • "My girl."

  • WHAT THE FU... FISH

    The hell is vegan bacon? A quote from Wikipedias bacon article:

    "Bacon is a cured meat prepared from a pig." Thusly, if it does not contain meat, it cannot be bacon.

    Tell this to every idiot trying to even think of making vegetarian bacon.
