Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

So how many of us meat eaters are better disposed to vegans and veganism after the arguments they've put forward on this thread?
Form an orderly queue...

Not on this thread, but one like it some years ago I stopped making cheap jokes about vegans when I realised it was the meat eaters who were acting in a far more childish way then the vegans. Although that one wasn't started by a vegan I admit.

Despite reading all this thread and many others like it, I don't have any decent reasons to continue to eat meat other then I like the taste and convenience. Which are pretty strong sadly.
 
I've checked back 5 or s0 pages and find no mention of the ASA saying this is fine. The farmers are up in arms though....Vegan advert claiming 'Humane milk is a myth' cleared by ASA - BBC News

It depends on how exactly one defines "humane", which is likely to be contentious in this context. I'm guessing that the ASA went with the vegans' definition because that's who is responsible for the poster in question. Remember that this is the same organisation that will happily allow companies to claim that their products "help" with various things in that they don't actually hinder them.
 
Again with this "feeling threatened" bollocks.

I'm not threatened in the slightest by a meat free diet ...
Nobody is. PS doesn't believe that either. It's an odd way of arguing that seems common among vegheads.

(See also carnist fragility).

They like to pretend that meat eaters suffer crisis' of conscience every time they sniff a steak!

Are any women posting on this thread cos the meat eaters seem very masculine and posturing? The vegans or undefined more or less folks like me just fielding a lot of fragile egos.
A bit like the difference between josling for top position on the BBQ and cooperatively making some nice dishes in the kitchen.
Is veganism inherently persieved as feminine and threatening?

I'm not threatened in the slightest by a meat free diet, I simply don't want one for myself and never will.
Yeah right, course your not. :p
Isn't it funny how whenever this subject comes up there's a hardcore of "anti" folks who have no real interest in the subject and just show up to have a little dig here and there and spoil the party. Course you lot don't feel threatened, but I don't believe you. The message is getting out there and more people are becoming aware and are at least thinking about it, which has created a bit of resistance and backlash ("resistance is useless"). The fact that so many "meatheads" congregate and persist in veg*n threads, a subject they claim to have no particular interest in, is most revealing.

Quite fortuitously, I now learn that vegan beerfests happen. Glasgow – Vegan Beer Fest UK

I didn't know that.

Hmm, but food I associate with beer festivals would tend to involve, ok, some veggie things, but quite a lot of nicely unhealthy food like pies. And lots of cheeses.

This entire thread is aimed at meat eaters :facepalm:
 
Few. But normally done much better. It's not exactly rocket science to make a fire and cook meat on it. Doing it well involves far more serious effort and preparation.

Er...no it wasn't, and even if that was the case, the pattern is the same in all the other threads on this subject.
"Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan"

So it's aimed at people who are not vegan. Which would include meat eaters.

So to then whine when the very people the thread was targeting actually turn up and post makes you look kinda silly.

Er, no it doesn't. First of all you've conveniently changed your tune from "this entire thread is aimed at meat eaters", to "would include meat eaters". It also includes vegetarians and vegans that may be embarrassed by the alleged behaviour of horrible vegans. Secondly, regardless of what is actually being discussed, the more rabid and dedicated crunchers invariably take the opportunity and use it as an excuse to have a go. So no, not whining at all, just accurate observation of predictable meathead behaviour.

Oh hell no! :eek: I could not face watching all of it, but is the idea that everyone seeing the video will immediately say "fine, absolutely I shall be completely vegan henceforth as long as you agree to shut up and go away at once, you speaking-Barbie scary plastic woman"? :eek:
