Vegans who yap at you for being unethical meat eaters are just as annoying as meat eaters who tell you about the necessity of eating meat for health, or to support ranchers, or because "it's natural/cave man/God's will," or whatever their unsupported belief it. The simple truth is that jerks will be jerks regardless of what they eat. I've been a vegetarian for more than 25 years. I don't eat anything that had a mother. That's my rule, for me. I don't care if anyone else follows it. Being middle aged with low cholesterol and a healthy body weight that has not increased since high school are my personal rewards. Listening to people tell me that they could "never" get enough protein/vitamins/minerals without meat (B.S.) or that they think people were put on earth to use animals (you're right, it's all about you), or some other crap are my personal punishments. But I don't think that being a meat eater makes a jerk a jerk. I think that being veg just gives the jerks a topic for their bad conversation. 


This, 100% I was vegan for a few years, and vegetarian a few years after that. For every vegan/vegetarian I met that pushed their beliefs on everyone else, I met far more meat eaters trying to tell me how wrong I was and how everyone should eat meat. Assholes are everywhere, regardless of what they eat.

And the highlighted part too. Shit drives me insane.
