  • Here’s the thing: I think vegans (and vegetarians to a lesser degree) get a bad rap. I think people go out of their way to attack them for no reason other than vegans generally lead us to hold a mirror up to our consumption habits just by being around, even if they say nothing about it. The Only crime I’ll see vegans commit generally is existing, yet people endlessly mock the decision as if somehow it’s an attack on them personally even though it doesn’t impact what is on their plate in the slightest.

    That being said: if you actually want to have a discussion about this, then your first comment one shouldn’t be coming in so hot and actually attacking people/finger pointing. Unless your goal is to look and feel superior and not actually convince people to change their lifestyle habits.

    I don’t actually think what I asked you was completely fair. But the point is if you’re going to come at people like that then you’re basically begging for people to pick apart every consumption decision you make and then you’ve lost the thread entirely. I think you’ll have a hard time making progress when everyone perceives you as saying “my sacrifice is greater than your sacrifice“ if you got into an argument with, say, someone who is against the harvesting and use of oil and gas.
