Generic Username Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If folk want to be a vegitarian, that's cool. Want to be vegan? Go for it. But see spanners like this bloke http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18833471 "I did break up with someone over cheese" - that's because you're an arsehole. "When I get together with my male vegan friends, we do sometimes grumble a bit about all the vegan women with non-vegan men" - that's because you're all arseholes. "These days Mike Tyson is vegan, is that masculine enough?" - Mike Tyson also has the mental capacity of a Scotch egg, it doesn't mean we should all give up on an education.

All fair and well being a vegetarian and vegan but judging people for not being or trying to force people into thinking that it is the right thing and that anyone who eats meat/dairy is in the wrong is wrong.

I certainly don't feel threatened by it, more confused that you'd want to dump someone because of a cheese related belief. "Mmm this cheese is nice" "YOU CAN'T EAT CHEESE!"

The boy at the start of the article is on fire "I cannot condone non-veggies any more than I can condone people who beat their children" I quite often take the slipper to my son after a medium-rare Rib eye. However the best quote is the loon fi eberdeen. His girlfriend used to offer him some of her meat pie on the way home. "I would have to remind her that I could not eat it," he says.

"But it's nice" "YOU'RE DUMPED! GET OUT! GET OUT I SAY!" Wasn't so much talking about you as people in general. My old flatmate was vegan and a really nice guy who hardly ever even mentioned it; it was a big part of his life, but he wouldn't try to force it on anyone. When some people found out about it, though, they seemed to just about blow a gasket: 'What?! You live off of vegetables, tofu and pulses?! That's rabbit food! Having the discipline to stick to your principles is gay!' It used to really annoy me. I actually have more respect for vegans than I do for veggies because they're at least taking their beliefs to their logical conclusion. There's no way that I could do without meat or dairy, though, although I do think that there's some really nice vegetarian food out there. It's a bit sad when people dismiss stuff on the basis that it doesn't have meat in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Vegetarians/vegans are a bunch of weirdos. That is a bit of a sweeping generalisation based on no examples. Almost as bad as fatties who need to be taken to the chip shop on a forklift truck. How do you draw your link between vegetarians/vegans and morbidly obese people? Vegetarians/Vegans can almost be put in the same category as folk who try and ram their religion down your throat TBH. All fair and well being a vegetarian and vegan but judging people for not being or trying to force people into thinking that it is the right thing and that anyone who eats meat/dairy is in the wrong is wrong. This is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read, and in my experience the exact opposite is the case. I'm vegetarian because meat literally makes me vomit. I don't force my views on anyone yet a number of meat eaters feel they must publically express their displeasure at mine. Wasn't so much talking about you as people in general.

Is the Vegan viewpoint against eating eggs/milk etc which are naturally produced not more to do with living conditions for the animals concerned? Or the fact that in most cases the animals are bred purely for the purpose of producing these foodstuffs? I could be way off the mark, just taking a guess.
