What do you guys think of vegan?

I don't generally think of vegans.

I'm pretty much indifferent to vegans and veganism in general. I have a few vegan friends, but thankfully they tend not to hassle other people about it too much.

If they keep to themselves and CALMLY persuade people into eating less meat I'm fine with. If people don't want to, vegans shouldn't berate them and act superior.

I especially hate the vegans who are anti-GMO who literally don't know shit about genetics.

Oh and also intersectional "VegFems" are scum of the earth. I'd rather be friends with ISIS.

Pretentious. People do it because it's new and progressive.
Literally saw people lying about benefits only to get more followers. Basically communism of cuisine.

Sucks that some people have that for religion.

Hitler was a vegetarian, as was Himmler, and was planning to ban slaughterhouses across all of Europe when he won the war.

Eating meat is healthy, but it's not moral. We must accelerate efforts to grow meat, so we do not have to subject billions of living creatures to incredible cruelty simply to provide our meals.

My one worry is what grown meat will do to the pastoralists that are the vast majority of Australia's farmers. What will they do instead on land that can't grow much?

I'm vegan, been one for like 10 years, I don't even think most people know, which is how it should be. It works for me and I couldn't give a Shit what other people eat.

>What will they do instead on land that can't grow much?
More space for micropropagation of plants.

>Communism of cuisine

I wholeheartedly support them because they lower demand for my favourite meats so it's a win-win for everyone

Less meat eaters=cheaper meat
Good for me

The diet of the Jew.

i'm not pretty much pescatarian and now i;m even going off milk. not through any conscious decision, but more a gradual realisation and contemplation of the process behind the foods i was taking for granted. when i started to actually see the product for what it was rather than just pick a packet off a suprrmarket shelf, I started to question the morality and purity behind the whole process. gradually this questioning put me off more and more as I could no longer claim ignorance of the suffering endured by weaker beings who I felt should be under my protection as their superior, and I could no longer ignore what I was doing. This is how I became a vegetarian. And now I learn the truth about the milk industry and the horrific suffering endured by millions of animals so I can do something so benign as prepare my morning oats in one particular manner, which could be v easily replaced with oat milk, which I like. It's a confluence of moral and health concerns, and is not taken consciously by a one-off decision, but rather by the insidious and gradual process of thinking and observing the reality of the world around me.

No tl;dr sorry. It's worth reading if you want to understand the process of a reluctant newly-turned veggie/going vegan gradually.

I only stopped consuming regular milk and replaced it with soy milk. I still like good cheese though.

Here's the thing, if they really believe that eating meat is murder then why be calm about it? I mean if millions of people were being killed and eaten everyday then would you calmly try to stop it?

I just can't take seriously the views of people who don't take those views seriously themselves.

It is like moderate Christians vs fundie Christians. I have more respect for the fundie who goes out and constantly preaches and bothers everybody because if they *really* believe that I am going to burn in hell for eternity for not accepting Jesus then they *should* be hassling me and doing whatever they can to convert me.

>Being able to insert your diet into every conversation
>Ability to look down condescendingly upon others because I'm jealous that they're eating a 16 oz porterhouse while I have overcooked broccoli
>My farts smell 87.9% worse because of the broccoli vs steal dilemma listed above

But as a wise man once said, I know a lot more old wineos than old vegans.

I'm indifferent to vegans and veganism, it's the cunts like VeganGains that piss me off

Redpilled.

Try 2 glasses of coconut milk with one cup of mashed bananas.

great shit so long as you're not preachy about it

wizard powers

>CALMLY persuade people into eating less meat

nobody should be trying to persuade anybody, you can either view the lifestyle and partake in it's benefits or not, nobody should need to be convinced or persuaded and doing so is a waste of effort

>Eating meat is healthy,

eh, meat takes a shitload of energy to digest, best if kept at 5% or under of total diet

and yes some of the greatest leaders and thinkers of all time were vegans

great men like Adolph Hitler and Gandhi

>why be calm about it?

because shit gets murdered in the world, why make a fuss, you make a fuss about one murder you have to make a fuss about them all and who has time for that?

I'm fine with them as long as they don't start to tell me what to eat and what not to eat.
Which sadly is something they apparently love to do.

Totally shit tier.

The only movement that matters is the organic food movement.

Also rejection of all things soy. Fuck soy.

As long as they don't question my life choices and try to convert me it is fine. Although I think most vegans/vegetarians are driven by "muh cute animals getting killed" factor rather than a reasonable one (or at least I have that experience).
