I espouse the philosophy called aninatalism but I have no patience with some of the clowns described here. Sensible vegans must have the same problem with idiots who claim to be vegans and they have my sympathy.
Well just like everything else that’s come along in this world.
Eventually someone will come along and either corrupt it or make enemies with it.
I personally could never be a vegan but if that’s someone else’s thing then more power to them and more meat for me.
But these extremists just like PETA need to be checked by their peers and the rest of society as should all extremists.
But most likely someone will come along and fuck that up as well.?
I am a vegan. I do it for my own health. It works for me. I know some vegans that are as radical as religious freaks about what they eat, why they eat it, and how great they are because of their beliefs. All opinions have extremists. All groups have their fair share of assholes that make them look bad. I just say Fuck em. Let them be. I am happy with how my diet works for me, and glad I do not share their mental mindset
Eating vegan is a good thing. This article only illustrates that ANYTHING, good or bad, can be taken to extremes and become evil.
Suppose, for example, that agnostics and atheists go to an extreme, and demand that all theists be stoned to death. That would be taking a good thing to an evil extreme.
I am a vegetarian leaning toward vegan. It is my choice, and I respect other people's choices. I can sit down at a meal with my omnivore friends and relatives, and I will not object when they order a steak. I will not order meat, but I do not throw a tantrum when others do.
There will always be extremists, but the writer here seems just as bad, getting a bit frothy mouthed about the subject. Most vegans just quietly go about their daily business and their reasons for their choice is not always that simple. I have a vegan friend who simply objects to the appalling conditions many animals are kept in.
My daughter is vegan for the same reason, but she will cook meat for others
No vegan will make me quit wearing leather and eating meat. If they want to go that way, fine. Don't impose their thing on others.
