Well let's see...

Oh I can't wrap it up with a bow so I'm just going to come straight out with it....

It's not exactly anywhere near hilarious is it?

And if you think it is, perhaps you need to get out more?

And I say that as a dedicated meat eater...but one with a sense of humour.

It's just a bit shit Confused

Fair enough. Everyone has different things that tickle them. I know it's very silly but it just made me giggle. Not sure what that has to do with how much I do or don't get out, but there you go.

I just think it's really fucking lame that people feel the need to take the piss out of something that their teeny tiny brain cannot understand.

Someones a vegan- so what

Someones a veggie- so what

Someones a carnivore- so what

Who cares. All the 'save cows eat a veggie' is also pathetic shit too, but i'm sure it cracked you up.

Exactly. I could give a rat's ass what other people's diets are. Who cares?

Probably. But I have had shit for ages because of my eating decisions, and I really don't understand it.

I don't comment on what you eat, so what makes it ok for you to comment on what I eat? What makes it ok for people to make jokes about it?

Really grinds my gears.

Oh dear. Rattled a few cages there then. Oops. I am quite capable of understanding vegan/veggie/carnivore, and yes indeed "so what". Kind of makes you wonder why they would need a support group then......

I don't get it. Or it's not funny.

Think it's probably just not funny.

Made me laugh.

In the great scheme of things I don't care how anyone chooses to eat.

Probably because arserholes people feel the need to continually comment on their lifestyle choices and take the piss out of them.

StuntGirl · 27/01/2013 00:03

Because they're a minority group and finding like minded people is nice? Because it isn't easy being vegan in our society so discussing things relating to a vegan lifestyle is probably helpful?

Don't think i implied that she did agent. I just find the whole laughing at peoples lifestyle choices annoying and immature.

Maybe one of those times where you should have put '(lighthearted)' in the title OP?

I have vegan friends Moonmin, for some it's hard to stick to the diet. They morally want to be vegan but still crave the food they used to eat. For others it's hard to be around meat etc, people eating it/seeing it in shops.

I'm guessing that's what the support groups are for.

Exactly. I wasn't making any big point as I really don't have one where this is concerned. It just made me laugh.

Oh also it's probably a good place to find out and share knowledge vegan friendly products and where they are sold. Recipes also.

I know there are lots of groups and forums online.

The photograph just isn't offensive in the slightest puds.

I know you said there's a good reason why you're posting what you are, but it's like we're answering two different OPs because of the amount you're reading into it.

Don't get iyConfused
But as a vegetarian (not pescatarian)I'm probably too anaemic and tired to try.
