Do you know more than one Vegan?

I only know one (that I am aware of) and she bangs on about food and nothing else, its kind of weird. Each to their own though.

Every vegan I have on Facebook I’ve blocked because I’m tired of the endless crap articles and pictures about why eating meat is bad and killing the planet.

That's really a Facebook problem - just about every article I see that anyone else shares is boring, irritating or irrelevant.

I eat meat but i do have sympathy with animal rights movement, factory farming is horrendous and i think will be looked back at as a very dark period in human history...

"That I'm aware of" is good point - I know a few Vegans and a lot of Vegetarians, but mostly I've just found out as it came up naturally (when getting food / talking bout plans, holidays, other halves etc).

This, everyone obsessing about vegans except vegans.Leave em to it, they are doing far more good than bad.
My dads wife obsesses about me being a veggie, not cos I am a veggie but cos she isn't.

My missus is one of those vegemetarian things. I caught her musing about veganism a while back (she does have extremist tendencies .... I think a lot of people like this are just attention seekers making themselves a little more special than the next person).

I kindly pointed out how relatively infrequently we get invited out to friends to dine because its a real faff and imposition on hosts to have to cook two different types of meals to accommodate one persons life choice. Imagine having to cater to a veggie when cheese and eggs are off the menu (the wife is 80% cheese I reckon).

Oh also, we keep chickens. (Rolls eyes)

Yeah, it's such a pain in the ass considering other people's moral and ethical choices... lol

pretty much my angle too.

i'd have no problem going vegan if the rest of society was going this way, but meat & dairy is so dominant, and i'm not principled or disciplined enough on this subject to go for it myself.

may the gods have mercy on my carnivorous soul...

I reply properly once my anemia is under control and I`ve got the strength to get out of bed.
