Flagstaff, AZ is also a big one. When I went to NAU there, I saw quite a few.
Not sure if they were simply adopting the culture or were truly hippies.
Of course, I'd guess the same question could be asked about those who where hippies in the 60's and 70's. Some truly espousing the ideals. Others in it for the cultural "freedom".

The way I see it, I have sharp teeth for a reason, and boy do I like the way steak tastes. Mmmm...yummy cow. Also, there's something very primal about leaning over a plate of ribs and gnawing on the bones I suppose I'm just not as sophisticated as all you veggies

A guy I lived with over the summer a few years ago, who was something of a hippy himself, had a t-shirt that read "I love vegetarians". He wasn't a vegetarian.

There's a whole lot of them here in Roanoke and a ton here at Hollins. In fact, the professor Andrew replaced this year (long hair, sleeps with all the single, female professors) informed me within 2 hours of our first meeting that he hates cops.
Most of them are not obnoxious like that, though. They're mostly very nice and they wear honest-to-goodness hippie clothing. Of course, Andrew is a Republican and I'm a libertarian NRA recruiter, so we're somewhat out of our element amongst them.

Yes, the appropriate thing to say is "paper coffee filters? You do know they make re-usable ones, don't you?"

Who cares what's in the cheeseburger. The question is 'Does it taste good'? Mmmm. If you want a really interesting view on what's in your food, do a search on the Agriculture Dept's acceptable limits for dead rats, mice, rodents, and "fecal matter" in our wheat, corn meal, and produce.

Recently I had a promising short story idea that satirizes both NRA/hunting culture as well as the hippie/PETA/vegan crowd. This thread might give me good input, I hope.
I watched "Supersize Me" last week with my daughter. What did I want to eat the whole way through the movie? McDonald's. It's sad, I know, but true.

We have a bison farm nearby, and I have been working up the nerve... It is not that a McD's burger tastes better than a good, all beef burger, it is the whole package o' taste. I just love it. No cure necessary, I just don't have it very often.

I think perhaps such films and books are only meant as a conspiracy to get the evil inclinations of the human spirit to buy still more junk.
