Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

  I don’t hate that people choose to be vegan. I hate the self-righteous bullshit humans get about veganism, science, religion, and anything else they start considering a moral high ground.

  You don’t have a moral high ground. You have a biological and/or social niche. That’s enough to be proud of, without dissing other people’s shit, or pretending yours doesn’t stink.

    Being proud of yourself for not eating meat doesn’t stop the mass amounts of suffering in the farms though.

    I became vegan once someone showed me what it meant to eat meat, had they not done that I’d still be eating animals grown in pens.

      I eat animals I grow, except in a few exceptional circumstances - minimal enough that, if everybody ate meat the way I do, the industry would fall.

      It’s good you’re living up to what you believe in. It’s a bad idea to live off of suffering you can’t yourself bear.

        Yeah I don’t have any issues with you growing your own meat, I bet you take care of them. My issue is with industrial farming, not you.

        I used to gut and skin animals my self to eat but I just don’t have to desire to do so anymore, I’m happy with plants.

  What would make you love vegans?

  Many non-vegan psychologists do agree with it though.
