Moral superiority. The overly vocal ones are those who think they're better than you because of how they live their lives. Most vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters just want to quietly get on with their lives, but it's the nasty, arrogant ones you hear the most.

Because the difference in choices is that your choice has a purposeful victim involved. You pay for an innocent animal to die so that it can lose it's one life to be in your sandwich. You are simplifying it to much... It's not like "I like blue, you like red". It's a litteral innocent sentient being that will be dead forever, because you want a few seconds of pleasure to eat it's rotting corpse. 🤔

It amuses me when vegans get accused of thinking that they are morally superior to non-vegans. Personally I'm in it to save some animals, I'd much rather we were all morally equal in order to save even more animals. If a non-vegan thinks I behave like I'm morally superior to them, then that person should stop behaving in a morally inferior way. And yes, even though it affords me zero satisfaction, and is not even on the list of reasons why I'm vegan, by definition I am morally superior to a non-vegan and find it hard to understand why this would be a problem, unless of course some non-vegans have a guilty conscience.

What’s wrong with eating meat everyday? Nothing, of course.

Well you can do what you want. And if that’s true then so can chickens and cows. Why are you trying to stop someone else from doing what they want? Those animals want to live. Why can’t you leave others alone and just let them do what they want?

I'll have to add another comment here now. This website in Chrome is buggy AF! Duplicates your comments and then deletes all of them when you delete one of them... We will always "lecture" until the education goes in. You're nearly there, you can cut it all out. You'll enjoy NOT eating meat at all more. The animals and the planet that you're destroying have no voice that you can obviously hear so we speak for them. Would you pass by on the street if someone was doing the following to an animal, maybe a dog, maybe a cow: kicking, beating, raping, torturing, "bolting" (still leaving them conscious), slicing their ankles so they flop about on the floor until death, slicing their throats etc. etc.? Even if you would just call the police on your mobile? That's doing something to help. That's what a lot of vegans do, we defend the voiceless. Just because you can't see it in front of you doesn't mean it isn't happening. Find your compassion. Help the animals and the planet.

Because other sentient beings keep suffering because of you. Duh.

if you think meat and dairy called suffering, environmental degradation, it’s important to educate others

veganism is based on moral principles that recognise the fundamental right of sentient beings not to be used as property; it is no more a religion than being opposed to rape or child molestation is. It’s a matter of basic morality – not faith. .

What part of veganism has something to do with religion? Wouldn't you agree that taking the life of another living being is immoral, unless we need to do so for survival (which we don't)? Would you be totally fine if your neighbor killed his dog just to enjoy the taste of its flesh? Killing cows, pigs and chickens in western countries is in no way different from killing a dog for its taste. That is vegans' view on ethics, what is yours?

No, religion has to do with a belief in god or goddesses. Eating animals has to do with taking away the free will of another entity. It’s massiveky different.
