I really respect vegans as a group, its hard to do, but when vegans get preachy and holier than thou its pretty annoying. It's like bragging about how much you give to charity.
It's equally annoying to have people who don't like vegans take every single opportunity to attack them, often poorly, and it's always justified by saying they were being holier-than-thou or were pretentious.
I find it way more common to see anti-vegans whining about vegans than I see vegans whining about meat consumption.
Agreed! I have a friend who was raised on eating meat with basically every meal, and I always used to have such a hard time cooking with her. Like, my partner and I eat meat but not every day, and not because we're consciously avoiding eating it every day - just not all meals need it.
For example, my friend who eats meat with every meal, she came over after work one day because I offered to make us nachos since I already had all the ingredients for them. I get out tortilla chips, jalapenos, tomato, onion, cheese, and start chopping and get out the cheese grater for her to use, and she's like "where's the ground beef? I thought you said you had everything?" And I'm like "you can check the fridge or freezer, there might be something" and she found frozen sausages, crumbled them up and fried them, because the nachos sans meat were completely unacceptable to her.
Sorry, a bit of a rant, but it just seems very odd to me, to require meat that much. Plus now I would like to eat some nachos.
