    Most people are not prepared for interested in a conversation on veganism.

    Vegans have been refining these arguments preaching at people who didn’t ask for a decade now

    and can present clear sharp moral stances with a counter to everything you as a gleefully evil animal abuser no matter what you have to say.

    They also have the easier side to argue.

    That part is arguably true. Which is all the more reason for evangelical vegans NOT to have to behave like they’re missionaries educating savages every time they manage to trick a non-vegan into engaging with them.

    Dietary choices, religions, and dietary choices treated as if they were a religion are like penises: it’s fine that you have them and it’s super that you enjoy them, but you are not allowed to try to force them on me without my consent.

      I follow a plant based diet and agree with just about everything you wrote. I find that hardcore vegans can act like religious zealots yelling at little nine year old girls on the street for wearing a rainbow colored t-shirt.

        Why would that not include animals?

        three separate reasons.

        they aren’t people. the don’t participate in our society. tehy don’t respect the freedoms of others.
