Cole Porter, Patron Saint of Veganism

Thanks to my pal Diablo for the blog's goofy title.

As we tossed around ideas by text message, I thought this one was more amusing than actually usable, but I kept coming back to it. So I looked up the lyrics to "Begin the Beguine" and found the line that, taken ridiculously out of context, turned out to be the not-so-ridiculous perfect epigraph.

I considered it a sign that Begin the Vegan was meant to be the name.
