I’m so fed up with all this vegan wankery

I know a few omnivores. One lives on chips. Oh and chicken nuggets!

“I only know one vegan. She lives on chips. Oh and fake chicken nuggets”

So?

YABU. My kids are allergic to dairy and eggs and it's great for them that so many places now offer vegan options. Last night they had Hunter's chicken in a restaurant with vegan cheese and vegan coleslaw and vegan ice cream for dessert. Up until recently fruit salad quite often was the only option for dessert, which isn't great for a child when everyone else is having something nicer.

You can now finally buy cake in a supermarket that they can eat thanks to the increase in popularity of veganism.

Yabu...im not vegan but know ot's a great choice for health and the planet...it's kinder and healthier. I am slowly going tgat way and think it's great there is so much choice. You can still eat animal products you know...they havn't been outlawed.

I don't have an issue with meat-eaters/omnivores, but I do have an issue with them ramming it down my throat all the time, preaching and acting holier than thou. I've lost count of the times they tell me how amazing bacon is, how I'm missing out on essential amino acids, starting threads on forums about how horrible vegans are, etc.

I only know one vegan. She lives on chips. Oh and fake chicken nuggets.

Dried pasta is vegan.

I'm a meat eater who loves vegans!

That sounds a bit cannibalistic tbh

I'm a meat eater who loves vegans! As a food allergy sufferer (eggs), the famed vegan assertiveness has made my life a lot easier when dining out. (Veggie wasn't an always an option as they often contain egg eg pasta.)

Now people who pretend to have allergies however, I'd like to punch in the face...

In My Glorious Reign, anybody who talks about curing anything with alternative therapies will be imprisoned for life. Whether it’s veganism or turmeric.

I know several vegans and none of them have attempted to push it down my throat, so to speak. Haha. I'm not one but we drink oat milk having tried non-dairy for eczema and much prefer it to dairy now. Isn't choice a good thing? I'm quite astonished by this anti-vegan tirade -who is veganism harming? What is actually wrong with having an opinion and planetary/animal welfare principles?

Can I get a 'plants have feelings' 😂😂😂

@CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook 😮 hope you are feeling bit better.
People go crazy with various health claims sometimes. This was not a vegan but my dad was told few times that x diet will cure his diabetes type 2...
Some people deserve a smack

Some of the responses on this thread would be the latest.

You can't count this baity ass thread........ and your other example you kind of instigated or invited discussion atleast. I've found that in alot of cases people ask vegans/vegetarians about why they are etc and then accuse them of preaching when they answer the question

I have no issue with society becoming more vegan friendly. I think its great for places to offer such a variety of alternatives. Specially for people who have food allergies and intolerance.
In my experience, its always the meat eaters who are being preachy and you can certainly see that attitude on this thread. The vegans I know are actually very laid back and quiet about their preferences unless someone asks or it comes up in conversation, whereas the people who eat meat automatically complain about someone being vegan just because they don't like it.

FWIW, i'm not a vegetarian or a vegan but don't really see the point in getting annoyed by other peoples dietary choices/requirements.

When precisely were you last preached at and what form did the preaching take?

But in the interests of the question one encounter which stands out was just a few months ago, June it was hot and my illness flared up. I was in the uni canteen and because I had difficulty walking, sat down at the nearest table across to a total stranger who asked me nicely why I was struggling to walk - to which I replied I have Fibromyalgia and it was painful.

Admittedly she said nothing to that, except to say how sorry she was and seemed nice enough, until in the interest of conversation I asked if the vegan Cannelloni she was eating was nice - I had wavered over it as it looked appetizing - what followed was a half hour of her telling me while I tried to concentrate on eating my cheesy pie why she became vegan, and why veganism is better for the planet, and why eating vegan will be better for my Fibro - it would disappear apparently - and if I always eat meat and fish surely I can see it must be me who is doing something wrong as to why I am so ill, because my blood is 'too much acid' plus it is so cruel- to which I replied that my DS refuses to eat certain types of fish because of over-fishing which is true, and I thought would convince her that I'm not totally ignoramus regarding the issues. Her reply was 'so why you don't follow him?' she then related that she also found it challenging sharing university halls with two other non-vegans and was looking for a private flat to herself and did not want to share the fridges because she felt forced to wrap everything she stored in cling film (I have no idea how she thought the food in the canteen was stored before being cooked).

I humoured her, she was young and full of passion and seemed nice enough and I was eventually able to change the subject, but the joke 'How do you tell a vegan?' 'They will tell you?' Definitely holds true.

Veganism isn't about health though- wouldn't cut out eggs, seafood, chicken or game if it was.

Some do claim it is. Not all obviously, but quite a significant number around me does. I was adviced number of times by people to go vegan that it will 1) help me lose weight and 2)make me healthier in general, boost my immune system, my skin will be awesome and I will have much more energy.

You learn something everyday.

Be interesting to see if this change impacts Japan's legendary longevity and general health.

I can imagine it's true. I suspect there are far more tabehoudai yakiniku and shabu shabu restaurants than tabehoudai fish ones. There will be many that serve both.

We eat meat much more than we eat fish.

@BadLad

Really? That's not what I remember.

Japan eats more meat than fish

Oh and Japan- seafood central.

Unless you have an allergy, fish in one of the healthiest foods in the world.

Meanwhile some of the healthiest people in the world with the longest lived populations carry right on eating a meat based and fat rich diet.

Mediterranean like Spain and Italy, aren't they?
