Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

[8ball]

Omni's eat whatever they like guilt free...

Oh? I thought the fragile carnists were continually at pains to justify their evil ways...

 

[Calamity1971]

vegetarians abstain from flesh but aren't to bothered about dairy and eggs or leather.

Not true, I went veggie at ten and also stopped wearing leather.

I remember my veggie friends at Uni (over 20 years ago) having veggie Docs.

Meat traces 'found in vegetarian meals'

Pretty inconclusive at this stage if it’s a meat-free factory and the VegSoc have tested as well as the supermarkets.

Seems to be only the Telegraph that is claiming other results, with little detail given about their testing methods.

Needs to be followed up obv because any adulteration of foods is a serious issue.

Just in case anyone thought being angry was obligatory if you're vegan

Redruth vegan woman's 'shock' at frog in her Aldi lettuce

A woman looking forward to tucking into a freshly bought lettuce got a shock when she found a frog lurking among the leaves. Shevaughan Tolputt, 37, from Carn Brea in Cornwall, bought the lettuce at Aldi in nearby Redruth. Aldi has apologised and said it is investigating how the frog got into the lettuce and offered her a refund on the 36p salad. "I was shocked, but I can also see the funny side of it," she said.

 

[Opera Buffa]

she said she has avoided eating the bits of the lettuce where the frog made its home.

She still ate the lettuce, just gave it a good wash

Eat what you like, says I. I've never been convinced by the vegan argument.

I'm sure that pearl of wisdom will go far...

E2A - in answer to the question, they don't make me want to eat meat, but they certainlyy don't convince me

A pub near me is hosting a "vegan stand-up comedy night".

Might go along - apparently selling out fast and must admit I'm curious about what it will entail.

I've said it before but many moons ago when I did a Christmas student stint at Pork Farms in Nottingham, they made the cheese and onion rolls on the same machine as the sausage rolls. That was a long time ago but it still kinda shocks me.

Oh I see ...

Entertained!

My wife is sometimes all, like, “that’s a totally unjustified stereotype / meme with no foundation in reality whatsoever!!!!” Which, as I think I said somewhere about p.1, is a very long way from my experience which was, in turn, borne out by this small and entirely non representative sample

Edit: probably not p1, but I never claimed to be numerate!

IME, one of the more prominent issues [edit: wrt being put off, and as opposed to “angry vegans”] is the tedium of single-issue vegans who don't really talk about anything but their veganism, vegan principles, veganity, and associated vegan-oriented topics of conversation.

Someone more droller than I might also reflect that, in fairness, well* over 11% of your 9 posts are not about veganism.

*let well = 0.11111111111%

 

[ddraig]

why does it entertain you?

 

[8ball]

You'd hope most vegans were aware of how absolutely awful PETA are.

 

[Brownglass]

OK, I'll get it out in the open. I'm vegan, pleased to meet you.

I'm vegan because I believe we should treat animals much better in this world, and the environment, and our own health.

There's an argument between vegans that seems to be gathering pace. Some vegans claim that you can be vegan and eat honey, drink beer with fish bladder in it... Other vegans think that you have to be 100% vegan or get to f***. Those in the latter group tend to be quite militant/vegans.

My question to the good people of Urban75 is this. Do angry vegans make you want to shout bacon in their face? Do angry vegans make you think say oh f*** off would you? Are you more receptive to a non judgemental, the right side of sanity vegan? Or do you still want to shout bacon in their face?

I'd be grateful of responses.

I have been trying to cut down my meat intake, don't know if Quorn is a bad name round here, but it seemed pretty good in a stew.
Q is made from fungi apparently!
Was thinking on the nature of animals - so looked up that beef, pork and lamb come from other mammals.
Is it OK to eat fish coz they don't have any feelings? (Nirvana, Something in the way)
Or chicken, coz they're birds?
Vegetarian is sufficient I would think.
Or at least only white meat as it is healthier for you.
Vegans tend to have a deathly palour about them!

I have a feeling you’re not going to be here very long.

no idea who that is and never watched that programme
odd that that meme entertains you still, won't expect a proper response, fill your boots and keep scraping the barrel

Ktx!

I’ll look forward to failing your standards again at some point in the not too distant future

I’d guess it’s something to do with the well established trope of taking a situation, person and stereotype and then exaggerating it to a mildly ludicrous point for comedic effect.

Everyone I know despises them.

Self-evidently so. In fact, the attempt to deny this is the case are almost more ludicrous than the stuff being cited.

And if I met someone through a dating site whom it emerged was using it as a way to proselytise, I'd be out of there faster than you could say "bunny boiler"

Although boiling bunnies is frowned upon.

Except for humane euthanasia reasons, obv.
