What is it about avoiding animal products that causes people to become incredibly smug and annoying? Is it just a few bad actors ruining their reputation as a whole? My friends and I can be discussing anything food related when our one vegan friend just HAS to interject with some vegan bullshit about how protein is actually bad for you or how eggs cause cancer so it's good they're being price gouged. I used to be a vegan myself but never felt the need to lecture people about it, hell most people didn't even know unless they straight up offered me meat. Does it just draw narcissistic people who always feel the need to prove they're somehow better than everyone else? I guess avoiding meat would be a pretty easy way for a narcissist to get off and view themselves as superior.

>> No.19015393

because it's usually not for health reasons, it's for ethical reasons.
and if you view other people as acting unethically, you would try and have them change their behavior.

>> No.19015415

Then why not start with that argument rather than making shit up about protein being bad or eggs being unhealthy? When base your whole argument on lies about health concerns it doesn't make people want to join your side. Why not make the ethical argument in the first place?

A city centre near me does this food fair thing on thursdays and fridays where they have marketstalls selling food n sundry foodstuffs.
I've noticed this lady recently who turns up with a handwritten sign that says "If you think vegans are loud you should hear the screams at a slaughterhouse" and she has a little speaker playing "screams" of what must be pigs n cows. I've wanted to tell her what she is doing is really uncool and possibly illegal but she has some soyboy accomplice constantly recording her on his phone so I just ignore her.

ethics aren't objective, but if you can provide a scientific argument for why someone is wrong, even if the intent is ethically driven, you probably have a better chance at changing them.
no one wants to be told they are morally wrong, but they might be willing to listen if they are objectively making unhealthy choices and unaware of the fact.

Because a normal, healthy society would worship a god and have a proper religion to venerate. Our sick culture threw that out, but the religious impulse is tough to eradicate, so something else has to take the place of a god or goddess. It can be twitter activism, some political ideology, or some weird esotetic practice, anything.

The vegans OP has met fall into this category. They don't believe in God, and it's not an ascetic practice for them like it is for monks, but they've decided to make it the core of their personality. Hence they have to proselytize. And because it teaches them a new morality, they have all the intellectual subtlety of an Inquisitor about it. Hence why they are on a high horse about lecturing me about my sins when I was just trying to eat my stir fry in peace.

Every movement, every single movement ever starts with something that is true
Veganism started with animals suffer and I don't like it which is 100% true the animals do suffer and you are entitled to not like it
Problem is then 90% of the movement becomes bullshit
That's why they create fake science
Thats why they sneak into mexico an murder some chickens on camera and then claim that's how every chicken in the USA is treated
That's why they claim people don't know how animals are treated then when people learn how they get treated and still don't care they keep claiming that people don't know because knowing and not caring is somehow impossible
That's how they justify bringing laptops to a playground and forcing children to watch pigs getting slaughtered and act like there is nothing wrong with that, bitch women get raped and I have a 50gb compilation of it and I don't go to a school to show the children how it happend
It's also how the justify terrorism, why are you mad we are commiting terrorism? We are just helping the hecking animals, everyone agrees with us because most people like dogs and that means most people are against eating meat
There was a video, the most retarded thing I have ever seen of a group of vegans protesting at a farm and they weren't allowed in so they gathered at the entrance and then a truck full of live cattle tried to exit and they just stood in the way and didn't let him go through and they all touched the cows and cried and gave them wateyou fucking morin if something goes wrong while the literal slave who isn't allowed to have his own documents is trying to get the truck out you are going to die, other vegans are going to due and a bunch of cows are going to due a long agonizing death and it will be all because if you

Vegans are almost always annoying because the kind of people who tend to go vegan are the kind of people who tend to be annoying. They do it because they desperately want to feel like they are in control of their life and that veganism lets them elude the terrible no good consumer food. So it's not veganism itself causing people to be annoying, but rather the people who go vegan that are already annoying, and being vegan simnply gives them a convenient justification for shitting on others under the pretense of "health advice".

i've been avoiding telling people i'm vegan as much as possible
only person i've told so far has been my mom, and only because she was visiting my house for a week, couldn't really hide it without avoiding cooking or eating out the whole time she was visiting, and she went on to tell the rest of my family before i visited them a few months later
morally speaking, the best thing to do would in fact be to be proselytizing about it, but that's not exactly going to be effective when so many other people have already come to that conclusion and decided that being a screeching retard was the best approach and permanently turn everyone off from the idea
so about all i can do is quietly minimize my own impact and adopt a different diet and eating out habits until cultured meat and synthetic milk becomes widespread enough that i can be fairly certain that whatever it is i'm buying wasn't factory farmed

If someone decides they want to eat their pet for some reason, that is their prerogative as its owner.
Aside from being likely quite poor quality meat, I see no reason why they wouldn't be allowed to do so.

Don't know where you get those definitions. Ethics is the overarching system and morals are the rules determined within that system.

I simply adore the Venetian fritto misto instead of the gefrituurde vis from Bruges. It's so much better with Mediterranean fish. The stoccafisso is definitely an improvement over the original (and exactly the same) stokvis and so is baccala. Fuck bakkeljauw. Which, again, is the original product and exactly the same.

There is no Mediterranean diet. I'm really sorry. They (we) buy Nestlé, Unilever, Berkshire-Hathaway garbage just like anyone else.

I've literally never met someone whom I knew to be a vegan that wasn't a skinny fast alcoholic. Let them waste away and kill themselves.

There is a Mediterranean diet, your mistake is thinking that what we call the Mediterranean diet is supposed to be representative of what Mediterranean people eat in a cultural/historical sense

Because veganism isn't ethical. You cant argue for welfare when your quinoa is being farmed by child slaves and your agave syrup being produced by huge companies stealing Indigenous Mexican farming land.

If Vegans actually cared about reducing animal suffering they wouldn't continue pushing a diet adopted by like 0.3% of Americans that is losing traction and will never be adopted on a mass scale.

It's nothing but virtue signaling from beginning to end. Cancel culture may not be a thing but outrage culture and pearl clutching certainly fucking is.

The sensible thing to do would be to encourage small-scale, humane farming and eventually cultured meat through increased funding and raising awareness, but that goes directly against their very nature so it will never happen that way.

I have no problem with a person who's a vegan for purely personal reasons. The Vegan diet itself is mostly fine as well and can be decently nutritious long-term (definitely not the best though, that's fake news) and it's definitely been misrepresented as a flat out shitty, unhealthy diet. It's still leagues more healthy than a SAD diet if done properly.

But "ethical" vegans are by and large retarded.

meat production requires far more agriculture, and thus far more labor, than just eating the plants directly, in addition to the labor required for raising and slaughtering, plus the obvious additional animal cruelty involved in that process
if minimizing human suffering is your only concern, veganism is still the best way to go

i'm seriously hoping you're a different guy and you're not willfully ignoring the "child slaves" bit you brought up yourself, but i'll spell it out for you regardless
when i mentioned labor, i was specifically referring to the exploitative borderline slave labor often used for most agriculture
chickens are the most efficient at turning calories of feed to calories of meat, and they do it at a 9:1 ratio, cows have a 25:1 ratio
whatever human suffering you might attribute to agriculture, you'd have to multiply it 9x for meat, at a minimum
in terms of labor, economics, even thermodynamics, it's just inefficient
