I can’t help it. I get a kick out of vegans. I’ve read their magazines and they seem to combine the worst elitism/superiority/martyr complex personality traits that you’ll find in hardcore feminists, gays, atheists, professional minorities and leftys in general.
Not that I consider it my business to judge people by what they eat, some do it strictly for perceived health reasons and some for religious (hindu, certain buddhists, jains, etc.) but for most, there really is an almost palpable eagerness to look down on the rest of humanity, even while whining about being persecuted. They are almost always extreme misanthropic PETA/greenies. For most, I’m betting it’s just a passing youthful enthusiasm. For the rest, I would advise getting to know one well before engaging in a relationship.
I have one who works for me.
Your assessment is spot on.
What the Vegans don’t think about, is that when harvesting those vegetables and fruits, the number of insects (sentient beings) that are killed. Being a practising Buddhist (a meat eater also), it seems that in order to survive, whether you are a meat eater or not, involves killing sentient beings.
