Vegetarianism has many virtues — compassion, sustainability, and the quiet satisfaction of ordering the one complicated item on the menu. But where there are lentils, there are laughs. Whether you’re a lifelong herbivore or just someone who’s nervously Googled “what is tofu,” these jokes celebrate the lighter side of plant-based living… with absolutely no beef.
