Nobody said being vegan is easy; it takes a certain level of self-control and preparation to live up to your ideals. One accusation that is often leveled at vegans is the way veganism converts eulogize about the benefits of their dietary choice, while most of the time scolding others for their 'unorthodox' meat-eating decisions. While it usually comes from the right place, wanting others to feel as good about themselves as the vegans do, it can be a bit grating for meat or dairy eaters who just aren't interested in the whole vegan diet thing.
Surely there's a more natural way to spread the message of vegan food goodness? One that's unpretentious, self-deprecating and easily digested? Why yes, vegan memes of course! We here at Bored Panda have collected the best memes that vegans can seriously relate to, and maybe even pass on a few to their friends who don't get it yet. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

A Thoughtful Kitten
Wasn't somewhere a cat who brought it owner teabags as "kills"?
Load More Replies...I'm extremely confused by the idea of a person who won't eat meat for ethical reasons, but buys a pet that MUST eat meat.
Cats are physiologically incapable of producing Lysine, so they must consume it from meat in order to survive.
Load More Replies...Just as long as you don't give the cats a vegan diet. They are obligate carnivores.

People always do this! Even if I say I had chicken, people should know by now I meant vegan chicken.
This happens so frequently, i don't even get angry anymore, just ignore them
Just Milking The Almonds
I've always wondered, though. How do they get milk out of almonds, coconuts and soy beans? (Here in Hong Kong soy milk in plastic bottles are as common of a drink as coke, maybe more, and I don't even know where they get it from.)
It's juice. Soak them in water, throw in the blender, then strain.
Load More Replies...Yeah but almond juice just sounds gross doesn't it?
Load More Replies...Almond milk is one of the worst things for the planet -- it requires tons of resources, especially water, and is grown in areas where water is scarce as it is. Plus, it requires so many polinators for a tight window of time that many many bee colonies are shipped in especially, which massively increases the chance of infections and diseases spreading, which is a massive part of the cause of colony collapse and the rapid loss of polinators.
VEGANS: I myself am not vegan but I am non-diary and if one of you could recommend a vegan cheese that's actually good (you know what i mean...) I'll be your best friend forever
I'm not vegan, but have you tried cashew cheese? I haven't tried it myself, but a chef I follow uses all natural, whole foods. She has a recipe for it on her blog somewhere. However, if you're looking for it to melt, it won't work.
Load More Replies...Almond milk is a joke. Takes a toll on already scarce fresh water as humans are too busy polluting everything...

There is a song "cows with guns". very funny, better without the visuals u will find on utube.

And when everyone has become vegan, cows won’t exist, unless kept as pets. Same for all farm animals.
Chicken For Dinner

Vegan Memes
I'm pretty sure they mean like "vegan meals". If someone says "I've never had Chinese food", you don't go like "You've never had RICE!?"
Most bread does not have milk and butter in it. That's cake. Bread is flour, yeast, water, salt and maybe a touch of oil.
Load More Replies...Normally, when people say they haven't tried "vegan food" it's the vegan versions of regular food, or going on a vegan diet. Seriously, any kind of fruit or veggie is "vegan". Duh.
I think that's right. I'm not really interested in having vegan fakes of other (meat derivative) foods, as I would expect to be disappointed. But that doesn't mean I don't eat meals that would be considered vegan. Even as a "omnivore", I cook and eat plenty of meals that contain no animal products. It's perfectly easy to find delicious recipes that don't contain meat, which helps not only the planet but also your wallet, without requiring the necessity to take a moral stance on animal welfare.

McDonalds stopped using beef tallow in 1990. Their fries are vegan.
Load More Replies...nope nope nope, it depends on how are the fries made... I am a vegan LOLOLOL
Fried in animal fat and subject to loads of cross contamination. (I am not a vegan but have food allergies so I am very aware of these issues)
McDonald's does NOT use animal fat for frying ANYTHING. Fries have their own separate fryers. The beef flavor has NO beef in it.
Load More Replies...Go to better restaurants? Even a lot of fast-food places have vegetarian options, and if they've got some sort of cheese or creamy dressing on them, you can just... order it without.
Delicious Vegan Meals
Here's the thing though, we're not going to give up meat because we had one vegan dish.
I baked a vegan cake and purposely didn't tell anyone it was, people raved over it until I said it was vegan and suddenly people were stunned. Like meat eaters see 'vegan' and make themselves not like it or want to try it on purpose. Which is what this meme is more trying to show I think
Load More Replies...I dislike SOME vegans simply because they get all preachy and then I have to slap them with a juicy ribeye and tell them I DON'T CARE! It's no different than obnoxious, pushy Christians (and I'M A CHRISTIAN), or jewelry salespeople. Anymore I have to walk around with a juicy ribeye at all times because such encounters occur too frequently. "God loves.." *SLAP*, "Gluten fr..." *SLAP*, "Look at my beautiful kid.." *SLAP*, "Excuse me sir you can't" *SLAP*...s**t
You do realise you sound really obnoxious? And that's coming from someone who isn't even vegetarian.
Load More Replies...I’m a meat eater but will happily eat vegan and vegetarian dishes. Shouldn’t have such a daft stigma (veganism)
Ofc, if it was vegan dessert, IDGAF. I'LL TAKE IT ALL! DESSERT IS DESSERT!!!
Plants aren't vegan. Vegetarians aka herbivores nor omnivores eat processed goop
Plants aren't vegan. We wouldn't eat vegan as neither vegetarians aka herbivores nor omnivores eat processed goop made with chemicals and labeled "plant based"
I'm not vegan or even vegetarian. But I am trying to reduce my impact on the planet, so 2 or 3 days a week I'll cook something without meat. It helps my wallet as well as the planet. But there's only so many lentils/stuffed peppers/halloumi/etc. recipes that I can bear to have over and over again. I have no interest in veg "fake" foods like fake mince, sausages, etc. but I think more than a third of my meals being non-meat is a decent start.
Dream Home
Mine too and I'm neither vegan nor even entirely vegetarian (I very seldom eat meat, but I still eat it)
Not every vegan does it for the sake of the animals. Some of us do it because of serious health issues.
I think vegan is an ethical stance. “Plant based” refers to just the diet part.

If you do not find something tasty at a good vegan restaurant, you seriously have issues. Besides, pretty much the whole indian cuisine can be prepared in a vegan way, and there are countless delicious options.
This truth. I'm a meat eater, but I don't eat meat everyday. I eat lots of vegetarian and even vegan meals. They can still taste amazing, especially cake.
Load More Replies...Agreed. I think that's the difference between someone who is used to cooking vegan meals, and someone who has to put a vegan option on a menu but doesn't have the experience to make a good job of it.
Load More Replies...Luckily for me, most of my family are open to the idea of having vegan every once in a while. It's easy when you have good vegan restaurants in town.
We poor folks have to go meatless because we can't afford fancy meats! When I was growing up, we had meals based around beans once or twice a week, and other meals with pasta and cheese, but no meat. Had nothing to do with "ethics," everything to do with economics.
I would stay home...not because I don't support your veganism, but I just hate eating in large groups
That’s on the way there. On the way back, everyone is either raving about the food or in a food coma.
Always The Only Vegan Around
I am just glad Baby is in the center and not in the corner. Or this could have ended badly.
Stop expecting everyone to make special food for you. If I go to your house will you make me a steak? .... didn't think so
Sometimes it can be difficult to produce a vegan meal, when a vegetarian one is much simpler to achieve. I have some sympathy for those and generally try to accomodate if I know in advance. But I will not pander to guests who just "aren't eating gluten" this month for fashion's sake (a legitimate intolerance is different obviously). What I won't do though is buy expensive steak and overcook it your taste. I will cook it properly to bring out the best in the meat, and that is what is on offer. I'm not going to ruin perfectly good meat because you prefer to chew shoe leather than eat a proper steak. It's my house, and I'm paying and cooking.
Load More Replies...For me, that depends on whether it is a genuine intolerance (eg Coeliac) or just a "lifestyle choice".
Load More Replies...That used to happen to me because my dairy products allergy and now is because i'm vegan
Vegan Lifestyle
I told my mother-in-law the new vegan dish I created and she just rolled her eyes. When I asked what that was about, she responded with a joke about how there was no meat in it, how could it possibly taste good. That's when I dropped the bombshell of the Chocolate Latte Cake I made for Christmas that she scarfed down...totally vegan..and Gluten Free. "Did it taste good?" She got quiet. I told her "We aren't doing vegan for the sake of the animals. We are doing it because our health was so bad, we needed a different way to eat so we wouldn't die. Do you think that's funny?" She apologized. After that..she gave us nothing but support and even started learning how to cook vegan.
Why? Are you confronting people? What kind of people are you talking to that you have to explain so much and they're not just like "Whatever, I don't care. Might be tough to recommend some restaurants to you though".
It happens. I had a coworker who would comment every time I ate a salad that it needed meat. It became a daily thing that he would tell me to eat more meat. Most people don't really care. But there are always jackasses out there who make people feel they need to defend themselves

Look, it doesn't matter how the other person eats: vegan, meat, junk food, no gluten, no dairy...just respect it. It's none of your business. Stop judging. It doesn't matter the reason either, if it's for health reasons, for the mercy of animals, binge eating...it's none of your business. And please, do not say a derogatory comment about other's choices and say it "Oh, but I'm not judging anybody"... Yes, you are and this contradiction makes you look dumb and a liar...
Maybe if you did not have to keep reminding people that you are a vegan.
Vegan vs. Vegetarian
When you're on a special diet (and vegan is a special diet), you should check beforehand if the restaurant can accommodate you.
Indeed, I have food allergies and feel like I should do just the same. Many restaurants what to cater to your dietary needs if only you inform them about it beforehand. It's all on yourself if you don't.
Load More Replies...Come on now, that's not really equivalent. It's a restaurant. They don't have to cater to your specific diet - you should've checked beforehand.
Usually people go "I'll get you the gluten free menu" which is so frustrating because so many people think all gluten free food is vegan when they're nothing alike! Give me the crusty bread just no animals!
Oh yeah, Mr Bami Bal never gets invited to a party at the last moment, never. Sad sad life buddy. It's fine party with the carcAss.
I consider myself a flexitarian. I can go without meat for ages but every now and then I like a nice burger, steak or fried chicken. But please don't take away my butter and cheese.

Vegan Meal Options
I think this picture illustrates many of the misunderstanding between vegans and the non-vegans. Vegan food is more than a meat-dish bereaved of animal products. Anyone claiming that vegan food cannot be tasty and healthy (regardless of continuing to eat meat or not) either has not experiences well-prepared vegan food or is simply closed-minded.
This post has nothing to do with vegan food being bland. It's about restaurants suggesting their food can be made vegan by taking away almost all of the food until just the bland garbage is left.
Load More Replies...When we eat food that contains bacteria, will it be considered as vegan food?
Good question. I looked it up, and apparently it still counts, as being vegan is about trying to hurt other creatures as little as possible. So bacteria and fungi aren't counted as other creatures, since they are too simple to understand when something bad is happening to them, and like plants, they don't even have a central nervous system to feel it with. There you have it :)
Load More Replies...It's about the same at a lot of places for Gluten Free options. "Well, we have plain white steamed rice."
Vegan Memes
This is so accurate :-) Nobody cared when I was sick before..but when someone discovers I am vegan it is "Oh, must be your lifestyle making you sick!" (Fun fact: No, I have a chronic illness which got better due to my diet-- it was as much a health reason to go vegan as for other reasons).
I get the opposite. People assume I’m health food conscious and never get sick. I get a cold sometimes like errybody else.

Explanations Needed
Easy explanation, chickens, pigs, cows etc are raised for the purpose of being eaten. Cats and dogs aren't (in most parts of the world).
That doesn’t address the spirit of the issue, which is about killing animals. Cats and dogs are bred as food in some places anyway, and it appalls you.
Load More Replies...And rabbit, and in some parts of Italy even cats (but that's technically illegal)
Load More Replies...I get that it doesn't make sense, but I don't like the idea of eating some animals, like dogs, cats, and horses because they're much better companion animals. I kind of feel the same about pigs, but I don't really like pork anyway. I feel like calling veganism "killing no animals" kind of... weird, because a lot of people don't directly kill animals, and stuff like clearing land for soy production is technically a "vegan" thing that can kill animals. Basically, veganism still has a footprint, so it's better to be realistic than on a high-horse about it.
Why is it wrong to love ALL animals? 😢 i dont see a difference between a pig or a dog theyre both adorable
Vegetarian? Or just leave the "wet jobs" to someone else?
Load More Replies...Reusable Bags
In germany you can buy paper bags and cotton bags in every store. You don't need the plastic ones.
I use them and I'm not vegan. I just like to recycle and help with preventing more global warming.
I hate plastic bags for other reasons as well: I take a bus to the grocery store and have to walk a bit, so if I forget reusable bags it's sometimes a race against time before the plastic bag handles just stretch out and break.
I just pay for it all and put it back in the trolley without bags and then all in the boot of my car where I have 4,890,986 empty bags.
Tell Me The Relevancy Of It
I'm a vegetarian with known food allergies to nuts and several types of bean. If I had a dollar for every time a vegan purposely added allergens to my food, I wouldn't need to get generic epipens.
I went to get my haircut and the hairdresser I got proceeded to tell me how she sometimes put chicken broth or chicken fat in dishes that she'd serve to her vegan friends during potlucks. She laughed as she said how they would call her up the next day telling her that they were sick all day the next day. I just looked at her, kept my mouth shut til she finished my hair..and as I paid for the haircut (no tip)..I turned to the manager and said I would not be back as long as she worked there when she's the type of person to risk her friends health just so she could get a laugh. I then told the stylist that I thought she was a s****y person for doing what she did and that she could kill someone or hospitalize someone who has an allergy to the ingredient. There is nothing funny about that. And I also told her I hope the next person she does that to brings her up on charges of assault or sues her for medical costs. The manager called me the next day to let me know the girl was fired.
Load More Replies...Never come across anyone who cares that someone else is vegan or vegetarian. I have come across vegans who have called "meat eaters" "worse than murderers" though.
I eat mostly vegetarian or pescatarian food no one ever comments on it. But I don't say I'm vegetarian because it's not part of my identity? I just don't like how meat tastes and in honesty I feel a bit sick after so I just stopped eating meat. No big deal
As long as you're not being like PETA spray-painting people's coats and s**t (which helps nobody), I don't care.
It affects me from your incessant chatter about how good I'd feel if I went vegan, how the animals suffer, how bad butter is for you etc etc etc. Just go vegan and shut up already.
Hmm. I have rarely encountered an omnivore who lectures others because they are vegan or vegetarian. I regularly encounter vegans and vegetarians who will lecture coworkers, family members, classmates, teachers, and total strangers when they observe someone eating meat.
Every time i witness a vegan talking about their food or lifestyle online, there are followup comments from meat eaters that amount to lecturing at best, and abuse at worst. I witness this constantly. CONSTANTLY. The precious little triggered snowflakes seem to be the meat eaters who can’t let a single mention of non-meat-eating go by without posting “but bacon” or posting photos of BBQ ribs, or something. I’ve not seen as CONSISTENT a type of behavior from vegans.
Load More Replies...I can say that to every vegan who brutally judges me for eating meat.
You should be happy that I'm vegetarian. I am NOT going to be stealing your food.
Exactly! How? If I'm not putting you out of your way to make an entirely different meal for me, then it's none of your damn business.
Vegan Options
a lot of beers aren't vegan. Animal products are used during filtering.
Don't go to a f*****g BBQ then and expect Vegan food. Bring your own s**t, aint nobody got time to hold your hand and prep you a special meal just cuz u wanna be healthy, f**k me man.
Expectations vs. Reality
I love how Vegans love to spread uninformed misinformation around the internet about their Fad Diet, albeit a healthy fad diet. Their diet IS indeed healthy, but a lot of vegans are NOT beneath spreading misinformation about Farming, and ranching because they have absolutely no knowledge of how it's done, and get all their information from groups of other clueless Vegans, and maybe PETA. Just so you're all aware, PETA kills more animals than it saves, just a little food for thought. IF you want to talk reasonably about farming practices, and post viable sources, I'm all for talking in the comment section of this post! Test my knowledge, and test yours! Heck, we may even become friends if you're not the Vegan on the right in this Meme.
i mean honestly it's AMAZES me that we've come to the point where people are justifying murder
Vegan Memes
I really don't understand the problem with being vegan. You're not a criminal if you don't eat meat.
The Problem is that people who are vegan shove it in our faces at how better you are just because you don't eat meat. You folk are like infestation trying to spread a disease to force others to eat the same s**t that you do. And then you complain about it like you're all on your period.
Load More Replies...I'm so confused at this. Who the hell would get mad at you for being vegan? Especially when those people are your own parents?

Load More Replies...Additives are common for many reasons. Deals with other businesses to get cheaper ingredients in bulk if they buy another product at the same time (which then has to be used somewhere) . Cheaper ingredients’ lower quality is masked by adding things. Replacing expensive ingredients with cheap ones (look at all the thickeners in foods that shouldn’t need them). Making food taste “better” to people who are fat and salt addicts. Etc.
Load More Replies...I thought the store was joking when they labeled some of their ground meat gluten free and then I found out why many meats give me an upset stomach.
Too much trouble IMO. If I ever became "vegan" I just wouldn't eat meat. I wouldn't become an ingredient reader and have a seizure if it contains gelatin.
Vegan Memes
"You don't know what you're missing" is a weak argument for _anything_ actually. (No, I am not a vegan.)
In the original context where it was used, which is in a situation where a person is scared/nervous to try something new, it made a lot more sense. Because you tried to convince them that the reward of overcoming your fear might be good, and they "don't know what they're missing". But in any other context it's a pretty weak argument indeed.
Load More Replies...I was raised (still am) vegetarian. When I was nine I had a guy waving a freaking sausage in my face and saying "you don't know what you're missing"
They know what they're missing, but perhaps have been misinformed about the food that they used to eat? It's not uncommon for Vegans to not know anything about the farming methods that they detest, and will make up stupid s**t instead of researching it. Just for transparencies sake I'm not a Vegan, but I've come across some very interesting, and nice vegans who DO know what they're talking about, and are vegan not because of the FAD reasons. There are intelligent Vegans out there, and if you take offence to this post, you're probably not one of them ;3c
I know what I am missing - blood, pus, decaying flesh of heinously abused and murdered animals - and ummm I AM NOT MISSING IT

The Real Vegan Mystery
"Animal Proteins Are Complete, But Plant Proteins Are Not" https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/animal-vs-plant-protein
So it's okay to dreamily whisper to your pork chop: "You complete me..."
Load More Replies...What I don't get is that people could never survive in the wild on a purely vegetarian (vegan?) diet. There are nutrients you can not get without mean, and fat is very essential. Children need those fats and those nutrients. To deprive them of that would be abuse. So, this diet is a new thing, and is something that not everyone in the world could do. Having said that, I think it's horrific and disgusting the way big-farm animals are treated, and I realize many people in "Western" countries eat way too much red meat for their own good (and just basically don't get enough vegetables, variety, or fiber). But why should we go against our own biology and nutritional needs altogether?
My grandfather is 76 year old and has never touched meat. He is healthy and happy. And in India , Most of the people are Vegan/Vegetarian and ARE VERY HEALTHY

Vegan Search: "MEAT IS BAD" Non Vegan Search: "Is meat bad, and if so, How?", or, Vegan Search: "ANIMAL CRUELTY IN FARMS", Non Vegan Search, "How are [Insert animal/product here] farmed?". Suffice to say, most vegans do incomplete research on their topics, and only muddy up the conversation with uninformed misinformation. Or they spread outright lies because they saw a picture of something they didn't understand, didn't like it, and made s**t up. There are, of course, intelligent vegans out there, I know a couple of these vegans, and they're very nice people. We don't need to talk about food because I know that they're on the level about how they're farmed and have different, and more intelligent, reasons for being vegan.
Where do vegans get their Vitamin B-12 from? Either supplements from animal or microorganism sources or they die. One cannot live a full life span on a 100% vegan diet.

Vegan Facts
Anyone actually looks up facts and admits their mistakes about this subject in particular...? People tend to be very prideful of their beliefs on diet (or anything else for that matter).
I'm going to say that this meme also ignores the fact that there are definitely vegans who ignore that veganism isn't some totally-perfect-no-footprint lifestyle, just as anyone can get with an ideology. Overall, I'm looking into this stuff because I like to see an actual economic and scientific perspective on these issues and not something from a specifically pro- or anti- vegan site that probably doesn't have citations.
Load More Replies...Getting people to look at facts is one thing. But getting them to believe the facts is another.
The problem is that they never do actually look it up....too afraid of the truth. :/
I mean...SOME Vegans give good information. Not all vegans do, just pointing it out. But if you point me to bad information, and I find other sources, plural here, that say that your source is wrong, you can damned well bet I'll be sending them your way.
Here's a vegan fact.... very few plants have calcium and vegan are known to have weaker than normal bones.

Load More Replies...I totally get it by the way but I think it's funnier that the gorilla is a bit chubby... I put this down to the fact that this one is in captivity and they have been known to be fed on "nutritional biscuits" which contain extra sugars and starchy items. I also read that it gives them heart problems! But...the gorillas in the wild that eat a more natural plethora of vegetables are generally solid!
Mostly veg though like chimps and they have canines 10 times the length of ours so that tells most people that we should be eating less meat than them. A chimp eats 98% veg so if that is anything to go by I’ll let you work out how much meat we should eat... Also, if a chimp or gorilla spots a small mammal or insect it will go for it naturally. When was the last time you stopped yourself from charging after that squirrel. If you eat meat/dairy these days (unless you live somewhere you can’t buy good plant based produce) then you simply either don’t care for the planet or the animals or even your fellow human beings. Very selfish attitude :-(
Load More Replies...The protein leverage hypothesis applies to all animals, carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and it explains why many herbivores such as gorillas, hippos, rhinos, elephants are fat, n chunky…it’s because they have to eat so much plant matter to get the daily protein their body needs to maintain muscle. Plants have protein but in small quantities.The sheer volume of ‘carbs’ (starches and sugars) they have to consume to get their daily protein requirement causes them to store excess sugars as fat. A bit like humans who load up with carbs and eat too little protein really…cool meme
Humans are more than 4mi years far away from Gorillas in evolutionary timeline...
Except that Gorillas are herbivores, humans are OMNIVORES, we can eat both, and most of us do. We Humans get more nutrients and vitamins from a Varied diet of both Meat, vegetables, fruit, berries, fungi, and such. WE. ARE. OMNIVOROUS!
Explaining Veganism

If someone patronizes me and tries to violently change my mind, like using phrases like "you are a murdered" or "I am a level higher than you" - then sorry, but this is not "explaining", but terrorising everyone into your opinion. You can eat whatever you want, just don't look into my plate.
I'm vegetarian and people always think I only eat vegetables. Like whenever I'm eating bread there's always this one person being like "But you're vegetarian!" UGH. Also people think I'd get offended when they say they don't like vegetables. I don't get why it's so hard for people to process
Why do you have to explain it to people who 1 : aren't interested 2: don't care 3: likely didn't ask about it ? Just do your thing and don't push it on anybody, TYVM
That's also how talking to a Vegan can feel, especially if they aren't intelligent. There are intelligent Vegans out there, I know a few, but most vegans I spar with, in the comment section, don't do their research, and are quite narrow minded.

If everyone at a party is trying to eat the vegan food, are they all vegans, or is the "vegan food" just a salad?
When I was vegan, usually the vegan food at parties would be plain potato chips or pretzels and maybe some guacamole. I did have times at church potlucks that by the time I got through the line, those options were gone. One time I brought about 5 gallons of vegan stew just so I knew Id get some. Lol

Technically, it is rather about how to make it non-vegan. Although I have to admit I do not understand why you need to be idealogical about it. I avoid eating meat. Someone cooking something vegetarian in he pan with the sausages next to it, with fat spilling over? Well, what is the deal?
I do the same (I don’t care if some accidental fat spilled over, or used a pan that might have some animal fat residue on it). But those who have an issue with having their vegan food touched by the fat spilling over from someone else’s food, is that some vegans are vegans mainly for the animals (not for the environment nor for their own health), so they feel disgusted by the fact that a slaughtered animal, that didn’t have to die, is inside them.

Cooking vegan meals...no animal products whatsoever. If someone knows you're vegan and you can't trust them to be reliable and honest when cooking for you, they're not worth having you as a friend/partner_ etc.
If you are like this you are obsessing too much. It's not like accidentally eating something that got a little bit of animal fat on it despite the chefs best efforts is hardly going to harm you. It's not like having a peanut allergy.

Countries that eat dogs and cats sometimes don't have other sources of meat. Like North Korea, and I hate to put North Korea in any kind of good light simply because of their leader, though the people there didn't choose him....Anyways, They don't get Beef, Chicken, pork, or many other kinds of meat, and thus raise dogs for food, instead of companionship. Countries that Raise animals that are generally seen as "Pets" by western society for food are generally in very bad situations, and probably couldn't live on a Vegan diet even if they wanted to.

When I worked at a Whole Foods that was having a Grand Opening, we were fed lunches during the set up process. They were considerate enough to have vegan options for lunch...and they closely guarded it to make sure that those who were strict vegans had first shot at the food before the omnivores. I wish I could have continued working for them.

That method is unsustainable, and thus it makes infinitely more sense to let the butterfly leave the cocoon so that it can return and lay more eggs for more silk worms to come about.
Wearing fur is only ok if you have killed, skinned and tanned the fur yourself.
Fashion-wise, this is a pretty big faux-pas though. Also, fur is super expensive. I was at a hat shop that had a fur and fabric hat for like, $140 and a faux-fur, faux-leather one in the same style for $44 and I was like "F**k yes I'm getting the second one".

Fact: you obviously know zero about amino acids.
Load More Replies...Proteins coming from multiple sources that combine to complete the amino acids is far better than from one direct source like human flesh (the best match) or pork. That's one of the reasons many athletes are becoming vegan. It was only a toxicology specialist who spent his life researching this with literally thousands and thousands of human test subjects that discovered this. Don't be afraid, simply absorb this amazingly new information (it's been known about for decades).
That's not the point. The point is that you can't get some proteins, like B12 from plants. You can get them from supplements now (and apparently some gets put in things like cereal these days), but you don't get them from a natural diet, which might be where the question comes from. I don't think anybody thinks "you need to match up amino acids as close as possible or they don't work".

yeah but you need like a bucket full of it instead of one slice to get the same amount. Also depends how you eat the pant as it's harder for us to digest and make full use of everything the plant provides. Best option would probably be plant derived protein powders

That's the one thing I can't stand vegans saying. Besides the obvious b******t of "killed an animal and eating it raw" when I highly doubt most vegans are growing all their own food and cooking none of it, we DO naturally eat meat. Hell, why do you think we do it NOW? Do you think people just started doing it for no reason? Apparently there are no traditionally vegan diets, and people like the Inuit have lived off of an almost entirely meat-based diet for generations. It's even worse when they say "we aren't 'made' to eat meat" - but the energy provided by eating meat is one of the reasons we were able to divest so much energy to brain power in the first place! We aren't perfect predators and definitely not absolute carnivores, but we do eat meat naturally.

Alternatively, I have a "trigger" grocery store symbol which is when something says "non-GMO". GMO IS NOT BAD, YOU TWATS! Some of the corporations that supply GMOs are bad, but that's an issue of capitalism and bad business practice, not genetically modifying something, which has been done SINCE HUMANS HAVE FARMED!
Uh, the only thing triggered is you. None of these symbols mention GMO's nor organics.

Just because you are a vegan doesn't mean that you're more intelligent than the rest of us, it just means you have a different viewpoint, and a different choice of food. I'd personally say "But what about the Cheese?!"
This isn't what it is saying. It says it is stupid to go through all of the reasons, all the s**t happening only for a luxury interest of spoiled first world people, and these still not being able to think an inch beyond their sensual preferences. That IS stupid. It's not about the choice itself, it is about the reasons.

How about: many vegan substitutes (note: not all) eg aguave nectar as a honey substitute are in fact worse for the planet than traditional foods. Oh plus if you’re against the use of ANY animals in production too you can’t eat most things *cough*pollination*cough*. Other than that, educated veganism is a great way to be, and there should be more focus on ‘80% veganism’ to encourage more people rather than it being a be all end all.

How about science has proven that plants not only feel pain but also are usually eaten alive?
There isn't enough viable land to grow all the necessary plants for everyone to be vegan. When you plow the grasslands that the animals graze on you take away not only from the domesticated animals, but from the wild animals as well. And then the soil erodes away, and we get dust storms and vegetation won't grow.
Seriously?? If you're going to take the time to post, think before you text.

You'd be surprsied..... My father actually suggests meat consumption to any of our general malaise, cause he thinks we don't eat enough (or none, in my sis' case, sine she is vegetarian).
Load More Replies...The other thing they don't tell you, vegans usually are less prone to getting sick than meat eaters. When you consume meat, your immune system kicks into overdrive to fight off all the bad bacteria you just ate. When you eat vegan, your immune system is not compromised by that kind of bacteria, so it's able to protect you from germs that would normally make you sick. It's also why more and more doctors recommend vegan diets for cancer patients. You not only eliminate the high protein diet that helps cancer to grow, you also boost your immune system at a time when it's compromised with Chemo and radiation treatments.

No, they're being rescued from bad farmers who are unduly cruel to their animals. This Meme is just argumentative and insulting.
Even a meat eater can be against factory farming practices love that cows and chickens can be really sweet and deserve empathy. I never believed anyone who said this when I was vegan... I can't be vegan anymore due to health issues. I miss it. But the least I can do is advocate for animals to be treated as naturally as possible while they're alive.
I am terribly sorry, i forgot that only certified vegans can rescue animals, next time i see abused or abandoned and hurt animals i will ignore it and just leave that to the vegans. Is there a "call a vegan" number for such situations? if so kindly let us know

I'm pretty sure that eating meat is not the leading cause of climate change.

I believe that agriculture overall needs to change, and that means sustainable farming over factory farming.

Very little. Most beef and chicken are raised by feeding them grains that are GMO and sprayed with a myriad of pesticides and chemicals. There are also farms that feed their animals pellets made from grain, animal byproducts and waste foods that would normally be landfill material. Grass fed meat is expensive, but since many Americans eat meat daily and expect portions that far exceed normal human consumption, they usually resort to commercially grain fed/by product fed beef and poultry.

Stop eating animals and most of them will die slowly and painfully from starvation.
In reality, demand for meat would decrease gradually and the factory farms producing the animals would breed them into existence at a slower rate based on demand.

I tell her I'm interested in the Garlic Tofu (with spicy garlic sauce). She checks with the chef and says it's vegan. Fast forward a few months...and a waitress at the restaurant says the garlic sauce is NOT vegan because of chicken broth added to it. She then informs me that the manager is also the chef's wife. She apologizes profusely. I tell her the manager should be the one apologizing, not her. That was 3 years ago and I'm still waiting for that apology.

Wrong tough, it's mostly the northern part of the world who can drink lactose, but the majority of the world is lactose intolerant, simply cause when we're babies we're supposed to drink our moms breastmilk, but as we grow older we're not supposed to anymore, but the nothern part of the world where food was more scarse we evolved to be able to drink milk as adults. So lactose intolerant is actually what humans are "supposed" to be.

Misunderstood, likely on purpose. The point is that doing something is not justified by having ancestors who did it. Whoever, and for whatever, uses this justification just is inconsequent if he's doing any stuff the ancestors didn't do, as not doing something is just in the same way inherited as doing something is. This doesn't even apply on stuff the ancestors did that was right AND against what the majority did. It's just invalid on whatever it is tried to use.

Call ahead and find out if they have vegan options. I would never consider going to a restaurant and not just ordering something on the menu. Maybe one simple substitution at most. It would seem rude to do anything more than that.
Even this did not work at one restaurant I went to. Even the manager, who was married to the cook, did not know what veganism was. Got sick the first time I ate there. Decided to give them another chance 6 months later. A new waitress that was vegetarian informs me that the vegan meal I had last time I was in contained chicken broth. I immediately asked for the manager..(same woman) and chewed her up one side and down the other informing her that I was on a vegan diet by my doctors orders because of the bad reactions I have to animal products. She acted like it was no big deal until I pointed out that she would never serve Pad Thai to someone who is allergic to peanuts..because she could be sued. She got the point and apologized profusely. Many of us are on this diet for our health. You wouldn't make fun of people for being allergic to a food. Don't make fun of us for trying to survive.

I don't know the difference between vegan and vegetarian, and I don't understand about fish. Because Catholics can't have meat on Fridays, so they eat fish. I don't get it. Isn't the definition of "meat" "a dead animal eaten by another animal"? If so, fish is meat, which would imply a vegetarian would not eat fish, nor would a vegan. But when I was younger, there were plenty of self-identified vegetarians who would eat fish. Why is this a dumb question?
Those that eat only fish are neither vegan nor vegetarian. They are pescaterian.

I'm surprised the number of people that are bent on a high protein diet. High protein is the fuel that cancer cells need to grow and multiply rapidly. The reason vegans are less prone to cancer is that eating a fresh food vegan diet lowers the protein intake starving cancer cells. It's also why people who are undergoing chemo for cancer are better off going vegan during treatment because it helps fight cancer two fold.
I spat my nut bar all over the keyboard at this - the biggest piece of bull I've read in a long time. Caner is a dna-damaged cell multiplying out of control because the natural process of cell death has stopped working. Caner doesn't need 'fuel' or 'starving' fr a start. Guh, my head hurts...

pretty sure it developed from aspic or other meat jelly foods

If you live together, or even just eat together a lot it's much easier if you both share the same diet. Steaky McBacon will not enjoy cooking and eating with Lettuce McLentil.

Vast amounts of infant food has animal products and/or meat in it.

This is ridiculous. It's not a scale. It's quite binary. Do you use animal products as part of your life (including the ingredients in hand lotions, gel caps, clothing etc)? If yes, you are not vegan. I'm not vegan, but I get that it's not rocket science to figure out what it means.

I love when meat eaters bring up these arguments. It helps to have an Anthropology degree. I've got a rebuttal for every one of them.
Please explain. I'm really interested. I've made some comments elsewhere in this post about the history of meat-eating. Perhaps I was talking out of my left nostril. I can always stand to be corrected. (I am not being sarcastic.)

They can’t feel pain, but they respond to stimuli which is where most people get that idea
Plants can't feel pain but plants do die. Boiling an animal embryo kills the embryo. Boiling a seed kills the seed. Seeds are plant embryos. When you uproot a carrot and cook it, you're just removing the carrot from its natural habitat and killing it to eat it.

I've heard 'has feelings' more, which I have seen most people interpret with 'able to sense things acting upon them' - such as that release of poison when being eaten, or the fresh cut grass smell (a grass danger signal)

But more than enough. I was vegetarian for most of my life and anemia was never a problem.

Another false piece of propaganda. Hotdogs are made from muscle meat, not waste products.

Don't tell them meet is murder. Unless you like being an obnoxious stereotype that is.

There are quite a few false equivalencies in this thread.

Animals make better parents than humans apparently. I don't eat any of those animals.

Me too. Except Brussel sprouts. And most gourds. And parsnips. And many others. But there are a lot more I do like, and they go great with meat.

even with captive bolts, animals still don’t seem to meet their end quickly :^( there are videos of pigs squealing while thrashing around after getting stunned. i watched this one video where this worker missed and had to stun a pig 2-3 times to get it right.

It doesn't really give you cancer, but it compromises your immune system and makes it easier for cancer cells to grow. The vitamin D they put in dairy milk is an attempt at helping the calcium absorb into your system..but it's not very efficient and actually leeches calcium out of bones. And lastly, the actual best source of calcium that does strengthen bones is dark leafy greens like collards, kale, chard and spinach. Look up "How Not to Die" "The Engine 2 Diet" and "What the Health (video)"
Load More Replies...It won't give you cancer any more than everything else on the planet gives you cancer. One cigarette is unlikely to give you cancer, one glass of milk is unlikely to give you cancer, and one piece of under-cooked food is unlikely to give you cancer. What is guaranteed to give you cancer, however, is cancer.
Half true, the estrogen in the milk could lead to estrogen based breastcancer, but other then that, I dunno.
I enjoy eating meat, not everyday of course, but I don't want to become vegan. I understand that other people want to be vegans, but I hate it when they lecture me about meat eating and try to convert me. I leave you alone, why can't you??
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.
Load More Replies...I don’t care if you’re vegan. I don’t care if you tell me you’re vegan. I will never tell you to eat animal products. But the second you tell me why I SHOULD be a vegan, we have a problem. I don’t believe many vegans fall into the stereotypical “militant aggressive” type, but those that do ruin it for other vegans. Same as meat eaters.... we’re not all jerks about it, but those that are ruin it...
Like the people who are so anti-vegan they go like "F**K YOU I'M GOING TO EAT ONLY MEAT"? I don't think anyone should be reactionary like that, but you REALLY shouldn't have a reactionary DIET!
Load More Replies...Being a vegan is like belonging to a particular religion, it's your choice and it suits you. Problems arise if you become militant and try to force it onto others who have other views.

The more abusive and defensive commentary I see from meat eaters who appear to be compelled to make anti-vegan commentary, the more I get the impression that they think they’re at risk. Access to their preferences are seemingly at risk, or their sense of being “normal” is at risk. It’s the frail ego of some people in the majority.
Load More Replies...I haven't ate pork or beef for 25+ years/poultry for almost 3 years. Works for me. What doesn't work for me is people questioning and mocking my love and respect for animals. The very fact that animals have to be rescued and need sanctuary from the exploitation industries tells me that something is truly wrong with our food system. I am not saying that you shouldn't eat meat -- do what works for you -- but simply that if folks actually thought about where that meat comes from, what the animal is put through so you can have that meat to eat maybe you wouldn't eat as much of it. Also the environmental impact of raising meat & poultry for human consumption is staggering. Finally if you are a meat eater and you write down every meal you eat during a 7 day period I bet you will be surprised at how much meat you DON'T eat. No matter how much you love bacon or steak or burgers....I bet the majority of meat eaters don't eat these items every single day for every single meal.
Absolutely! I eat meat, but I've cut down on it and try to get it sourced responsibly. I'm a big fan of groups like "Compassion in World Farming". I don't think, as omnivores, that there's anything inherently wrong with us eating meat, but keeping prey animals under torturous conditions like in factory farms is needlessly cruel and just feeds the over-abundance of wasted food in many developed countries.
Load More Replies...Thank you for demonstrating the meat-eating version of the so-called “vegan a*****e”.
Load More Replies...The one thing I get confused by about vegans is "Why are WE not allowed to eat meat but other omnivores and carnivores can?" I'm entirely in favour of eating less meat than is common in most western countries and I support humane and responsible farming to lessen environmental impact, but I don't feel like I have a personal ethical issue with the simple idea of "eating a living animal" if you remove the rest of the baggage of unethical farming. Like, is there something wrong with eating a deer killed in order to cull the local population so that they don't overwhelm the plant life? (Happens around where I live in Ontario.) Or is that just "bad because killing is bad"? Certainly different vegans have different opinions on this sort of thing, but I don't think I've ever thought to ask someone in person.
Just my point of view as far as your question about why can't we (humans) eat meat, but other omnivores and carnivores can - the difference between humans and say lions or tigers, is the fact that humans can grow plants and have the capability to eat vegan, but other animals do not. I have cats, and even though I'm a vegan, I feed them (nonvegan) cat food, because I realize that cats need meat. But I'm not a cat, and I don't need meat - so I see it as my responsibility to not eat it because I'm a human, and humans are capable of making these decisions whereas animals are not. I'm not one of those people who think animals are equal to humans - I recognize that humans are in some ways more evolved, so I think because humans are superior in some ways we're held to a higher standard. It always confuses me when people will make both the "we can eat animals because they're just animals and not the same as humans" AND the "well, carnivores eat meat, so why can't I" arguments.
