Why are people so against vegans? Im vegan and a lot of people have a problem with it.. but why?!
Answers:
Because you are different!. Weak minded people have issues with nonconformity!. Different causes insecurity!. But that's not your problem or fault!. I applaud you on your choice to do what is best for yourself and our environment!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm not against it!. I tried being vegan for a short time, but it just wasn't for me!. For one thing, I have dietary/medication restrictions that just made it too difficult, and another thing, I DETEST fake meats, and actually felt a little guilty eating them!. I felt like a hypocrite!. I'm not saying that it IS hypocritical to eat fake meats, only that I felt like a hypocrite!. There's a big difference there!.
Anyway, I say let vegans be vegans, let vegetarians be vegetarians, and let meat eaters be meat eaters!. All have their pros and cons, and as long as we all respect each other's choices and keep an open mind, none of the dietary lifestyles is any better than the others!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Low self-esteem!. They believe that by belittling others they raise up themselves!. But, they only expose their own weakness in reality!.
Many will say that vegans are preachy and whatever but it is they who have come to VV in the first place!.
I came here for the first time just over a year ago and, yes, I was a troll back then!. But, contrary to most, trolls or not, I kept my mind open to new things and have since learned the truths and falsehoods, the difference between information and propaganda, and the fact that people are people and there are good and bad in all!.
Jen--"B/c most vegans are members of PETA"---inaccurate!. Many PETA members are vegan, but not many vegans are PETA members!. Most vegans in this forum are NOT on board with PETA and it's antics!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I download and listen to a pod cast on my iPod that addresses veganism and all the social issues that come with it!. (I forget what it's called)!. Any-who, the hostess of the show has a theory that vegans are often the folks who hold a mirror in the faces of the meat-eaters and make them realize certain things about themselves that they don't want to see!. That's why they are defensive!. We represent a way of life that is different from theirs, but is healthy, cruelty-free and environmentally friendly!.
I don't know how true that is, but it's just one thought!.
I personally just think that people tend to be resistant towards people who are different from them!. Look at the Civil Rights Movement - Southern whites were SO against blacks!.!.!.for no other reason other than we were not like them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

First i will say that people are very adverse to anything different!. it's a common reaction people are very scared of the unknown!.
Second, and this might sound extreme, but i believe people are addicted to meat!. Try telling an alcoholic that it alcohol is bad for them and they'll tell you that they don't drink to much and that its ok in moderation!. The same things happens in a meat eater they say that it is fine in moderation because they don't have too much (or there is no such thing as too much)!.
I have heard way too many people say that they could never give up meat or that they need it!. People are fooled into thinking that the only source of protein is from animal meat!. when really there are many abundant sources of protein!. Many people also have a very skewed idea of exactly how much protein is healthy and tend to over eat!. In fact many americans eat twice as much protein (again mostly from animals) as recommended!.

Those kind of meat eaters will usually respond with some rhetoric about vegans being preachy, but the actual reason is simply people fear what is different!. also, vegans make some people feel guilty about their own food choices, then they feel threatened and respond irrationally!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
B/c most vegans are members of PETA and people hate PETA!. And also its really unhealthy to be a vegan in the long run!. I saw a study that showed that vegans and vegetarians have higher brain shrinkage than those who consume meat b/c there are nutrients that the body needs that can only be gained by consuming meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Just like christians, vegans tend to preach alot!.
No one likes to be preached at about their own belief!.
Veganism might be great, just like the bible!. But many 'representatives' give the wrong message!.
Christians say 'you'll go to hell'
Vegans say 'you have rotting flesh in your colon'
Both being untruths!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
