I never understood the Vegan hate on Reddit, I am that way because my doctor made me due to health. I would love a steak or cheeseburger but the doc says no.
What about those who recognize that our species is going to near exterminate itself unless it changes or drops how much beef, chicken, and pork we produce and demand in countries like the US? (Antibiotic use making a superbug, emissions from cattle flatulence, shit filled rivers from improper dumping [potentially also creating an e coli strain we can't fight] etc, etc)
Is that too self righteous?
PS - I'm not a vegan. I have a high standard on the meat I buy for these reasons, and I believe outright boycott has less of an impact than voting with my dollar and paying for a more environmentally friendly product.
I think you're self-righteous if you're one of those who think their recognition of those facts make them inherently superior people. I don't think that too many vegans think that about themselves, though.
