Question:
It is ironic, isn’t it. To go vegan implies that someone that’s open to new ideas, new experiences, and a whole new way of life, and yet these very people sometimes end up being some of the harshest, most judgmental, closed-minded people I’ve ever encountered. There are vegans who claim to be compassionate, but then thrash out at the rest of world, including other vegans, because they express their compassion differently. To me, compassion is an art. Some people do oil paintings, some people do watercolors, others do sculptures, others do symphonies, and there are millions others. In the end, the world is a more beautiful place. And who’s to say that oil painting is better than sculpture? It’s all good. Everyone approaches art their own way, in their own capacity. The important thing is that they express their creativity. Veganism is the same. WE REPRESENT 1% OF THE POPULATION. MAYBE. So everything that every vegan does, EVERYTHING, makes a big difference. There is no vegan out there who is doing the wrong thing. There’s no one who’s not saving lives the wrong way, because YOU’RE SAVING LIVES. When I see these people ranting that someone else “isn’t vegan enough” I have to shut them down. They’re divisive. We should all be working together to save lives, not working against each other because we don’t eat the same damn brand of tofu. Sure there are differing philosophies. There should be, because making the world a better place for all its inhabitants is something we all care about with every inch of our body. To paraphrase Schweitzer, we must remember that humans are animals too, and therefore must remember to also extend the circle of our compassion to human animals too if we expect to find peace.
All I have to say is don’t thread on me and I won’t thread on you.
Most people on Earth are jerks.
Most vegans are people.
Therefore it only stands to reason that most Vegans are jerks.
On a serious note though, I’m guessing most of your friends are on the young side? Teenagers have a tendency to latch on to something and use it as a catch all philosophy in life. They will probably ameliorate with age.
If you want to know the reasons behind the behaviour of individual vegans, then you have to ask those individual vegans. Vegans are as diverse in their attitudes, ideas, views and behaviours as any other group of people.
I suppose I don’t know how I’d react if someone judged me on my dietary choices; nobody ever has. Similarly, I don’t judge anyone for their dietary choices.
Of course, some people might judge them if they knew about them, I don’t know. There are people I see and work with every day who don’t know I’m vegan – why would they unless it came up in conversation because we were planning on eating together? But no friend I have ever had has based their judgement of me on what’s on my plate.
No, there’s no ‘vegan philosophy’ built on a negative judgement of meat-eating. The overwhelming majority of vegans are vegan in order to minimise their personal contribution to animal suffering and exploitation.
Yes, if someone demanded that they not be judged for their diet, but judged others for theirs – that would be hypocritical.
While nobody as far as I know has judged me on the basis of my diet, a couple of times when someone has found out I’m a vegan they have become defensive, asked fairly aggressive questions about my reasons and become annoyed at my answers and tried to counter/disprove them. It’s possible those people went away feeling I judged them, though they brought the subject up, they were the ones who became aggressive and they were the ones who formed judgements.
I must say I’m intrigued by the fact that you’ve met hundreds of vegans; even most vegans haven’t met that many. I’m older than you, I’ve been vegetarian for most of my life and vegan for many years; I’d say I’d probably met more veg*ns than the majority of people have. But I’ve met nowhere near 100 vegans, let alone hundreds. Where do you meet them all?
I never force my views on anyone or talk”vegan” unless they ask me.I only get steamed up when i am ridiculed and made to look like a freak because of my choices.Luckily my friends respect my lifestyle and it rarely comes up in conversation.
(I thought “vegan friends getting steamed” was a good pun, btw ..hahaha)
Yes, it’s a double standard. Unlike vegetarianism, where they eat fish milk and eggs… Vegan-ism has this self-righteous moral overtone of “Not Only Am I Eating Healthy But Mother Earth Personally Thanks Me Every Night For Living in Harmony With All her Dainty Inedible Creatures.”
In the Vegan Morality worldview, I find, eating a Scallop is not a single degree less depraved of an act as eating your own parents. I personally think there are many good health related reasons to become a vegan without bringing the impossible ideal of “let’s not kill anything that can move” into it.
- Because honestly, we digest and destroy millions of microorganisms daily, most of which we breath in. Should we all wear N-95 respirators? Bacteria are important! And they very much are alive! In fact, If it wasn’t for them, the dirt wouldn’t yield those precious veggies in the first place. Why, some vegans even devour Cyanobacteria suppliments to get vitamin B12, and those bacteria technically are zooplankton, closer to animals than flora.
So yes, I agree that there is a double standard with Vegans, they think they’re on a crusade to save the world from our incisors and canine teeth…and be careful, they’ll pelt your house with egg shaped tofu balls if you stand in their way!
Ever met religious extremist? Same type of beast in vegans. They are usually very uninformed and that is why they can believe their BS. Any threat of logic overloads their protein starved brains.
It sure is hypocritical. I think they’re just jealous because they choose not to bite into a big juicy burger with all the trimmings.
Most vegan/vegetarian people I know don’t impose upon other people’s food choices. Sounds like maybe your friends are a bit immature?
