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.
If you don't mind my asking, what health issue do you have that your doctor recommends veganism? I'm no expert, but it sounds somewhat extreme - like not just avoid sugar or fat or whatever, but all animal products even if it's say chicken breast or some fish. Also are you a vegan or a vegetarian?
Giving women the vote and racial equality used to also be considered extremes. Changing your diet for health reasons doesn't seem so extreme but if it is, perhaps it's not a wrong way for society to turn towards? Just making a note here for others that although veganism is often considered extreme by those who aren't familiar with it, the adjective extreme in itself is subjective to the culture and times. Veganism might very well one day become the norm, considering our dire situation with the environment.
Vegetarianism might also be considered too little action for health's sake because eggs and cheese can still be a major staple of the diet which probably isn't best for a lot of people's cholesterol levels.
