I hate that Vegans are defined by the psychopath edge cases.

I know 3 vegans. Two of them have cats. They aren’t delusional. They know cats are carnivores. They wish people ate more veggies. But live your life, you know?

The other vegan I know choose veganism because of serious life-threatening issues where meat was causing hospital visits. She went cold turkey and will watch you eat a steak and wishing she could do the same.

It’s fucking weird watching people shit on them. All because a psychopath on the internet speaks for all vegans and shoves broccoli into a cats mouth.

That doesn’t really sound like a vegan to me, that’s just a person who is on a plant based diet. Veganism is a moral stance

I’m not judging vegans. I’m judging vegan communities. Big difference.

I wish I knew 3 vegans (or if they tell me who they are). While I have no plans to go there, I’ve been on a kick of learning to cook for other cultures. It’s been a wonderful experience learning to prepare new foods and even helping my teens experience a much more diverse cuisine than otherwise. I’m all for learning to prepare some vegan meals, but so far just lookin at recipes online is not giving me enough “flavor”

I’m most persuaded by the environmental argument for veganism and am totally open to less animal products or fewer meat days
