Do vegans/vegetarians feel superior to non-vegans/vegetarians?!
Answers:
I personally don't feel like I am better than anyone!.
I do however wish more people would have the awakening that I have had!. One year ago I watched a movie that can be found at www!.meat!.org I never ate another hamburger, pork chop, hotdog, or any other meat for that matter!.
It was like I could physically feel the suffering of those animals!. And the suffering was because of my greed!.
Now when I pass a field of cows I know they will not suffer for me!. I know that by being a vegetarian that I will not harm the environment by supporting factory farms!.!.!.And I know that my health will be better off for it!. I have lowered my chances of getting cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, or being overweight!.
I am a vegetarian for the love of animals, my health, and the environment!. I don't think I am better than meat eaters, I just wish they could see things from my perspective!.
AND I feel that meat eaters act like they are superior to us!. We get extremely nasty comments from them and they sometimes even get offended when we won't eat meat!. We are the butt of their jokes!. I think that vegetarians complain about meat eaters much less than they complain about us!. I explain to them why I am a veggie and they try to tell me I am wrong!. They try to defend eating meat!. It's not right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most that I've met do not!. They feel that they're doing something good by deciding not to eat meat, but they respect other people's choices to continue eating it!. They don't feel surperior!.
Of course, you will always come across the occasional vegan/vegetarian who thinks they are better and that everyone else should stop eating meat!. But I actually come across more meat eaters who think I'm wrong to not eat meat, but that's probably because I know a lot more meat eaters than vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like the answer the person gave who spoke about feeling that their diet was superior, but not necessarily that they were superior as a human being!. I felt like that when I was vegetarian!. I'm slowly modifying my diet again to return to the lifestyle in a healthy way!. I don't think I'll ever be completely vegan again, because I mistrust extremes of most kinds, but I really did feel mentally, spiritually, and physically better, but not better THAN anyone!. Just within myself!. I looked better, too!. :-)
Anyway, I'd never be someone who, say, ONLY sleeps with other vegans or vegetarians (there are people like that), but it's always going to be a lifestyle I appreciate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a Vegetarian for not other reason that I dislike meat! I often look at other peoples food at the market and think mine is healthier not because of the lack of meet - but the lack of C**P like sponge stodgy foods fingers pies cakes etc!.
That said I know many Vegans who look down on me (in their words I am not being a proper vegetarian) because I have milk rather than Soy juice!. So I guess Vegans tend to be almost religious in their avoidance of all animal products and can look down on others Meat eaters and Vegetarians alike!.
I just know I feel healthier because of my diet but its not my place or right to advise others what to eat!.
and Yes I have leather shoes and even a leather couch as I see leather as a by product not the reason for animal slaughter and would rather that something be used than wasted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not intentionally or overtly, but, perhaps I do feel superior in my decision!.
I have yet to see a valid, well thought out argument about the pros of eating meat, taking lives and "raping" the land!. Perhaps the day one person can make all those points clear and valid to me, I'll be humbled and change my mind!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I Think so!.
I think Vegetarians are similar to someone that is deeply religious!.
They are certain that what they are doing is right and that means that the rest of us must be wrong! It seems as though we are supposed to feel guilty for eating meat because it is unhealthy or cruel to animals!.
Anyway, i respect anyone decision to eat as they please!. Would be nice if everyone did the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know I'm superior in one, and ONLY ONE aspect!.!.!.!.ethical eating!.
Everyone feels this way!. We think it's a better way of living and eating and this is why we choose to take that route!.
We all have something that makes us better than the next person!. A meat eater may be superior to me in intellect or sports or business, etc!. I feel am better in diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah they do,and i think it's funny since we're meant to be omnivores!.The other funny part is that they're not going to live any longer than meat eaters,but they have to check every label of everything,and worry about everything they eat!.It must be a depressing life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Perhaps!. I know I laugh at people that are "addicted to meat" and use that as an excuse to not even try being a vegetarian!. Generally, I don't care!. People are all the same!. However, if someone tries to laugh at me for not eating meat, than I feel superior to them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I say yes - I think all vegans/vegetarians probably FEEL a little bit superior to those who aren't!. But do they show it or act superior!? I'd say most don't!. In my experience meat-eaters probably act more superior than vegans/vegetarians do!. Hmm!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't feel superior as a person, no!.
But I'll flatly admit that eating animals and their secretions is a behaviour I do not respect!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can't speak for all, but I know I don't!. And I agree with Claire, because my experience has been similar in finding more biased meat-eaters than vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
People who crave that feeling of superiority are going to find ways to claim it regardless of whether or not they eat meat!. It has nothing to do with vegetarianism directly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I speak for myself alone!.
I eat what I choose to eat - others can eat what they choose to eat!.
Me not eating meat - them eating it - all personal choices that people make!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

to be honest i feel that it is tghe other way round that non veggies arent nice to veggies but depends on wo it isWww@FoodAQ@Com
i think some do as they feel right and any1 who eats meat is wrong!.!.!.that kind of mentality will do you no favours!.!.!.
everyone has thier own set of morals and what is right for someone may not be right in the eyes of someone else!.!.!.its all about personal morals!.!.!.but you shouldnt feel smug or superior purely cause you dont eat meat
you should just feel pleased that you are doing what you think is right!.!.!.i mean some drink alcohol and think its alright!.!.!.which it can be (a glass a day) but other people like muslims abstain from it for their own beliefs!.!.!.who is right!? they both are for thier moral codeWww@FoodAQ@Com
