Meat: the slavery of our time

"So how will we become a vegetarian planet? The numbers suggest that we won't stop eating meat simply because it's "the right thing to do." People love it too much. Instead, we'll be forced to stop. By 2025, we simply won't have the resources to keep up the habit."

Faux butterfinger soft serve sundae at Toy Joy. ZOMG good!!

Now for the details: 

Start with a large helping of Toy Joy's own vanilla soft serve, which uses a combination of soy and coconut milks.  Drizzle with hot fudge sauce, and coat with crushed Chick-O-Stick candy.  Add two pieces of Chick-O-Stick and a cherry, and you're about as close to a Butterfinger sundae as you're going to get in vegan form.
