Why do some people hate vegans and vegetarians?!


Question: Why do some people hate vegans and vegetarians!?
I have been vegan since I was 14!.My mom and friends supported me all the way (they support everything I do) but everyone else in my family and most people I meet persecute me and lecture me on how important it is to eat meat and how I am going to kill myself by being vegan!.
Some even go so far as to say it is against God's will to not eat meat!.

I am also studying and researching Wicca (I'm interested in adopting it as my religion and people persecute me for that too!.

None of this bothers me,I would just like to understand why it happens!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Becuase they are jealous of our sexy as* bodies and know they couldnt make such a commitment like we haveWww@FoodAQ@Com

We have the moral high ground and they are uncomfortable with it

People know that animals are mistreated, and cannot honestly claim that animals don't suffer under said treatment - it's rather obvious that they do

But it's a social norm to eat meat, so no one other than vegans is going to call them out on their barbaric behavior

So yeah, even if you're passive about it, you're a living example that it wouldn't be all that hard for them to just stop being cruel, but they don't want toWww@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know!. People are against anything that is different from them!.

whether its vegan or religion!.

I was veg since i was 12 and studied wicca!.
Now I am 19, and 4 months vegan and still learning wicca!.
Feel free to email me about either! I love meeting people who are into wicca as well!.
(also I suggest if you get the book To Ride A Silver Broomstick by Silver Ravenwolf!. It's real good because she also refers you to other books to read as well!. )


Good luck standing up to all those who try to bring you down! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

um thats a good question because i have noticed a lot of hate toward vegetarian people, for the most part people hate things that they dont understand and its hard for them to wrap their minds around the concept!. They probably also think of extremist like peta when they think of vegetarian, and they think peta represents all vegetarians and they dont like that!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

People don't like people who are different!. It poses a personal threat when somebody else makes a moral decision that doesn't align with their own!. Basically, they think you're trying to be "better" than them just by being different!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just go and laugh at them when they're in a hospital bed with kidney disease and say "hmm maybe because your a meat eater!

lol jkWww@FoodAQ@Com

they don't know the benefits of vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

People are just afraid, I think!. Like whenever anyone does something that's outside of their comfort zone they aren't able to deal with it well!. I've had to deal with my fair share of people like this

I'm a polite vegan though, so I don't think they should have a problem!. I don't preach!. I don't support peta!. I don't care what they do so they shouldn't care about us, right!?

You're lucky to have family support!. I have it too!. My family isn't vegan nor vegetarian but my mom helps me cook food that kicks ***!.

I'm pretty sure that those people have it the wrong way around!. The ten commandments say that "thou shalt not kill" so why would it make any sense for someone to eat animals!?

You're not going to kill yourself as long as you do it the right way and get your nutrients!. I stopped eating animals, drinking milk and eating yogurt when I was 6!. When I was 13 I cut out all dairy intake altogether!. I feel so much better this way!. It's a whole load off of your mind and your heart, and you know you have less of a chance to get all kinds of diseases!. I haven't had a health problem yet!. I'm 16 now!. Even my doctor doesn't support me in my eating habits and makes me go for blood tests at least twice a year!. My iron level is fine!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i have the same problem!
im a month away from 14, ive been a veg for 3 years now, almost 4!. my brother is a veg too, he supports me, the rest of my family does too, but my grandma!.!.!.!.
different story, everytime i eat with her, she gives me an hour long lecture about how i should eat meat, im too young i need to grow blahblahblah,( vegetarians are healthier!)
and when i pick up the phone and it's her!.!.!. its another 10 hour long lecture!!!

and you should see in resurants!
if she's with me, and i order a veggie burger or something, he says to the wwaiter, yeah, my grand-daughter is a vegetarian and sstuff!.!. then GIVES OUR WAITER A LECTURE!.
hhaha its embarassing!

i have never met anybody in my life who said they hated me for the sole reason that im a vegetarian
lots of people hate on me but for completly different reasons
and if somebody "hates" you for that reason they have alot more issues
i dont hate meat-eaters and i dont think there bad people
but its my choice to eat or not eat what i want to
alot of people ppl think that where all tree-hugging protesting hippie freaks who try and fource our beliefs on other people
but for most of us thats not true


and as for it being against God's will to not eat meat!.
all i know is the bible says you CAN eat meat, it dosnt say you HAVE to, and it dosnt say you NEED it!

Because you people are annoying and wrong!. Most people who are vegan or veg usually have some sort of god complex to being with!. They do it to be different and to have a label, usually because they have average or below average qualities of things that our society normally labels as being important!. ie; good looks, athletic, etc!.

So they do it so they can stick their nose up at someone because then they can finally be "better" at something!. Vegans and Vegetarians are just a bunch of rejects seeking approval among other rejects because they couldn't get the approval they desire from us normal people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
