Is the Toynbee tiler also a vegan hater?

Received a odd package in the mail at CP HQ today containing this baby-blue tee, featuring the following screen-printed message:

YOU MUST MAKE
GELATIN AS
HELLION FRONTS
AND VEGANS ARE
AGAINST IT RAISE
DEAD ON PLANET GELATIN

Anyone familiar with the Toynbee tile phenomenon, magnificently explored in the 2011 doc Resurrect Dead, will recognize the font and layout. But why such love for something as innocuous as gelatin? And why such disdain for vegans, so marked that they're lumped in with the "hellion fronts" discussed on many of the Toynbee tiles? Mystery of mysteries. Hmm, there's a South Philly return address on the envelope. Perhaps we'll go knock up this weekend.
