This troper knows a girl like this, but he suspects that it might be a facade to win friends and generally look like an insufferable hipster.

My 9th grade biology teacher was a bit like this...She carried a staff with a claw on it to school and held a meditation course (part of the prayer: Jewish school, you know) where its members learned about their power animals. She's also a published author.

Clawsatff? Awesome.

This troper definitely counts. She lives in Southern California, and sometimes scares people with how crazy leftist she can be. However, she prefers lots of black to tie-dyes and really, really loves her meat. Oh, and she also happens to be kinda smart. Come autumn, she'll see you at Berserkeley, also known as "that hippie school".

I live in San Jose. The liberals here are the nice, non-ANAL (Angry New Age Liberal) types that seem more on par with Libertarians than Liberals, and the closest thing to this was a friendly (if somewhat eccentric and snarky) history teacher who was Christian and mocked a lot of radicals. He hasn't met any conservatives, but they're mostly moderate (read: like Eisenhower). There's probably some Black Bloc or Maoist[=/=]Communist enclave around here, but they don't show their faces. I have, on the other hand, heard horror stories about Belmont, Santa Cruz, and Berkeley, which cause even the democrats around here to facepalm.

My mom is the epitome of this.

I'm definitely a Granola Girl. I'm a vegan animal rights/liberation supporter, and I'm very into Tibetan Buddhism, Native American spirituality, astrology, Wicca, and other things of that nature. I think my preachiness about various topics could also easily qualify me as a SoapboxSadie (for instance, when we got bigger plastic bags at the fabric store where I work, I said, "great, one more plastic item to add to the giant plastic cocktail in the Pacific Ocean"). As that example shows, I'm also a big environmentalist (my dad gets annoyed sometimes at the amount of things I try to recycle each week), as well a feminist, an anarchist (mostly due to my belief that anyone can be corrupted by being an authority figure), and a human rights (gay rights, civil liberties, workers' rights, etc.) activist, and I would not wear shoes if it was not required. Admittedly though, I'm also something of a subversion of this by being Snarker}} sarcastic, Colored Glasses}} cynical, and Bird}} somewhat unhappy and Bear}} grouchy.

I'm a mild version of this trope - animal and human rights supporter, wears tie-dye, and never drives anywhere.

This troper has attributes of this. Although I do drive, eat meat, and use a lot of non-biodegradable stuff, my childhood and teenagerhood in Washington State have instilled in me a deep sense of guilt about the environment. So I'm trying to get more environmentally friendly. Now that I'm at college, I walk everywhere and drink only out of a steel water bottle.

This troper's college roommate was like this. Not only was she a vegetarian, but she also supported animal rights, going as far as to save a dying mouse from a snow bank and taking care of it until it passed on.

Aww...

A ''lot'' of my teachers. There's a reason my school has the reputation for being a bunch of hippies. Oddly enough, my history teacher from last year wasn't one.

This troper doesn't eat meat, or kill bugs, or hunt/fish despite living in Wisconsin. She's also a practicing Wiccan/spiritualist. She drinks out of an aluminum water bottle, makes a point to buy products with as little packaging as possible, eats food from the organic urban garden in her backyard, walks/bikes around town rather than driving, and doesn't use cellphones in fear that it will kill bees.

I found a Granola Boy. (Note that, due to a mod of the site being hacked, one member's posts got deleted).

This troper is sort of a Granola "girl"; she identifies as female but doesn't think of herself as completely being any gender so..Yea. "Sort of" since she really doesn't care for politics but she just happens to be a Buddhist, loves animal, nature adoring pacifist. It's one of her (very few) notable traits.

This troper once again. I'm a granola boy. He's quite liberal, a bit of a feminist and masculinist (he has some very interesting views on gender and thus fits due to his gender varient and anti-binary thoughts), is still a Buddhist (and follows the five precepts; thus doesn't kill animals and is a pacifist), is an animal rights activist, is vegan, and still adores nature. He isn't into "natural" stuff, but happens to just cook basically everything he eats (including bread) for health related reasons and taste preferences; he also isn't really into "free "love at all, quite the opposite (I'm psuedo anti-sexual at times). It just happens he likes tye-dyes too.

This troper used to have a crush on a girl since Kindergarden (being his first crush). But as they got older, he doesn't crush on her anymore due to the fact that she became this trope along with becoming a psuedo-{{Goth}} (dressing in black), flat-chested, and the fact that she doesn't like anime (this troper is more right-wing in his political thinking, loves meat, believes BuxomIsBetter, and is an {{Otaku}}).

She ''became'' flat-chested? How did she look when you knew her in Kindergarden? D:

Sorry, I meant she got older but was still flat-chested.

Being American Indian, it is not surprising that this troper lost his virginity to one.

This troper DoesNotLikeShoes, doesn't like it when animals are hurt (except for cockroachs), and has a HairTriggerTemper. She considers herself this.

This troper is somewhat of a granola guy. He is anti-capitalist, sticks up for environmental causes, is totally vegan and has as much respect for hunters/fishers as he does for child rapists or the Ebola virus. However, he does also conceal carries a .40 S&W handgun, own a civilian Saiga AK-47 and 12 gauge pump shotgun. He's also a devout Catholic who supports gay rights and freedom of all religion.

I had a Human geography teacher who definitely fit this trope, along with StrawFeminist and StrawHypocrite. We spent an entire year getting lectured on the evils of Western civilization and white men. This teacher was of the opinion that war and conflict are completely European in origin, and that most societies were enlightened and equal until being overthrown by those horrid, horrid white men. For those of you wondering, yes, this teacher was white. She was also dumb as a post, telling us, among other things, that the white eggs you see in a store are bleached and that the Pope had recently announced that priests could marry.

This Troper is, I think, a subversion. I eat healthfully, I reuse and recycle, I can preach about politics and social issues until I'm blue in the face, and I care about animal rights and the environment. However, I vote Republican. Certain members of my family and certain classmates, who vote Democratic or Green, were mystified at this paradox. What, I can't support free trade and recycling at the same time?

Are you me!? I'm all this, plus a Mormon who supports gay rights. And a "flexatarian."

This troper knows two girls like this. One is a {{Brainy Brunette}} {{Cloudcuckoolander}} agnostic liberal, and serves as a {{foil}} of sorts to this atheist liberal/libertarian {{Only Sane Man}}. We do agree on a lot of different issues, though (gay rights, drug decriminalization, etc). The other one is a {{Pettanko}} Christian {{Yamato Nadeshiko}} who's a little on the shy side. Although she's also a bit of an oddball, she's quite intelligent and is a total sweetheart. I guess you can say she's a {{foil}}, too. As far as our personalities go, the three of us do have one common thread: We're all {{Actual Pacifist}}s. secretly in love with them, in case you were wondering.....
