Tell me more about sushi pizza please.

Person with Psychology degree here (and Sociology, too) This REALLY irritates me. Especially since 99% of the time, they haven't the slightest idea what the actual symptoms of the syndrome or disorder with which they claim to be be afflicted are...

Flag, fine. Overly fake patriotic and "go back to your own country" kind of people can get f****d.

Yes ! And stop knocking on my door on weekends and pushing your religion in my face.

It is fine if your sharing food and you tell them you can't eat it because your vegan. Right?

How about we let people eat what they choose to eat without forcing our diets or food choices on them. Eating meat is not bad just as being vegan isn't bad either.

I rarely tell people I'm vegan because of the negative stereotypes it has acquired. I have enough anxiety as it is, I don't want people questioning my eating habits and expecting me to have a heated debate about it. You eat meat? That sucks, but I sure as heck won't be telling you to change how you live.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living (not a diet) which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and praticable - all forms of animal exploitation of, and cruelty to animals fpr food, clothing or any other purpose. A lot if not most of the pushy vegans I have come across have been within their first few years of veganism and struggling to comprehend why everybody else is contribution to exploitation, however there is also a point when they realise that it took them until X to have that epiphany and you have to let those who will have that experience get there in their own way, but there is zero wrong with feeding them lush vegan food and gifting lovely vegan gifts. I always said that I may be able to cope with being vegetarian but vegan was super extreme and when I made that step it was hard, the Internet wasn't about and good luck finding a vegan cookbook lol. Now it's sooo much easier, there are a lot of accidently vegan foods available now (until recently and yo this day most werent developed with vegetarians or vegans in mind (except the cardboard burger and scary bacon) but for people with allergies to dairy, eggs, gluten etc. Unfortunately being vegan became trendy, I believe a lot to do with aspiring social media influences looking for an in, but those who take up the mantal due to that don't generally stick to it or eat a plant based diet and call themselves vegan, however veganism isn't a diet, or even a weight loss plan, it is a philosophy, very much like Buddism, and attacking people for being vegan is considered (and terrible wording, but legal terminology) a hate crime.

I've seen far more people preach to vegans than vegans preach. Lots of vegan friends. None of them try to make me vegan.

O.M.G yes! A colleague of mine is vegan and I hear about that choice at least once a day. I am okay with your choices, as they are yours but for the love of bananas will you just be vegan and shutup already!

I know it’s not what they meant but a “bloody vegan” is hilarious

After reading the comments here, and generally having met the local antivegan idiots, it seems NOT being a vegan is shoved down many more throats, far more, than being vegan. Most of the preachery stories aren't even remotely believable, let alone anywhere near likely. I for myself just want to eat, and not be told off with unbelievable tales and ridiculous justifications I never asked for, nor would be the person to justify to in the first place. I'm not heaven's gatekeeper...

Through most of my life I found it difficult to put on healthy weight and people never voiced their concerns because they just assumed I was happy with being slim. I hated it and no matter what I did I couldn't put on weight. Then I watched way too many documentaries and decided to become a pescatarian and my body decided to begin to add weight. My family didn't know what it was and assumed it was a fad, but I stuck to it. Now I'm a healthy weight, I don't look sick, but I don't push my choices on others. I chose it because I was tired of looking sick and constantly being tired.

I respect anyone who can make this type of disciplined commitment part of their lifestyle, but please, unless I'm forcing meat down your throat, don't shove your views down mine.

To be honest, being vegan does take a lot of effort. Less now than a few years ago, but the fact that you probably have to come prepared to wherever you're going does take a central role in your life and is everpresent. So that's normal. What is not is the self righteous attitude a lot of vegans exhibit.

Looking at you, vegan teacher

Yup. But only when convenient or when someone is looking.

We are moderate Christian's. We aren't going to knock on your doors and ask if you have time for Jesus and not condemn your life choices. Our daughter has been vegan, vegetarian and raw and currently doesn't eat pork. She got over them all but still will not eat pork because the Old Testament. And won't stop arguing about it long enough to be shown the New Testament. So we just don't serve pork when she comes to eat. If I make twice baked potatoes, I make a lite ramimkin without bacon for her. Same with green beans and guacamole. We don't discuss it but I can easily fix something she could eat I'll do it. If we are somewhere with no vegan option, she will figure it out and not complain. I wish they could all be that harmonious to live with lol

i tried being vegan cause its supposed to be healthier and i gained so much weight vegan food is really unhealthy

If you don't want to eat dead animals I say good for you. If you're a pain in the butt about what other people eat not so good.

I can tell if somebody is a vegan within 15 minutes of meeting them. That is usually the maximum time that they can go without notifying everybody within earshot of the fact.

Officer, I promise you my murder spree was caused by mercury being in gatorade
