I have never understood this stereotype. Why do people constantly project this on to people that only eat vegatables? Are Hindus all hipsters? Buddhist hipsters??


Most of the Buddhists and Hindus I know are total nerds.

Though that statement may reveal more about me than it does about Buddhists and Hindus...

Watch the discovery channel for a while and then watch how our society is structured...Then tell me if you dont consider us animals.


I'm aware of it and I'll tell you now that I don't consider us animals.

Yes I smoke. What's the conflict? You're either assuming I'm vegan for health reasons or that I'm concerned by a very small amount of animals being killed as part of tobacco harvesting. As someone else said, pretty much any type of harvesting involving machinery is going to kill some animals. I'm not going to suggest that farmers abandon their combine harvesters to save a tiny percentage of the world's mice.

I did laugh out loud.


I must say I haven't read all this thread (just the first coupla pages) but in my life I don't think I ever met a Vegan I liked.
Vegetarians sure - nice vegetarians - but Vegans. Self righteous, over earnest toss pots in my experience.

I'm sure they're some nice ones.
I'm just saying I've never met one.

Was a Piscetarian for about a year (I could never stop fish. I'd lose a finger before I lost fish) but then I ate some steak around Christmas time and it's still bleeding flesh tasted so good.

I haven't looked back.

Because it represents the possibility of individual political action, and conscious self-denial for the sake of the betterment of others (animals in this case). This is not a concept that many are comfortable with.


It only represents the possibility of an individual political action in as much as you are making a choice-it's no more inherently political than the hundreds of other choices which you make on a daily basis.

If a vegan believes that they are a more compassionate and ethical person than a non-vegan solely due to their veganism, then at least, as I presume they would wish, the reality of their lifestyle choice reveals it's basis to be not solely grounded in the issue of food.
