Why has suddenly people's choice in fucking FOOD become the hottest topic of argument.
In the past it's been Religion, Race, Sexuality...
But no, now it's FOOD.
And beyond that, fucking PETA.
uhg.
Let me reiterate the meaning of some vegetarians, and most vegans:
A. By definition, a vegan (most commonly pronounced VEE-gun) is a person who does not eat animal products, including meat, fish, seafood, eggs, and dairy. But veganism is more about what people choose than about what they avoid. For example, vegans demonstrate respect for all life - their own, the planet's, and the animals' - not only by eating plant-based foods, but also by choosing nonfood items (such as nonleather shoes) that are produced without animal byproducts. Many vegans also go out of their way to choose cosmetics and personal care items that do not contain animal byproducts and are not tested on animals.
Where in there does it say that we rally on streets and batter people with propaganda??
People's generalized opinions and accusations are making me feel attacked, as I am a vegetarian.
I do not protest. I do not push shit in people's faces. I believe in being who you are, when you want to be it. Non-conformity. But still doing this with NO JUDGMENT. I have general caring for every single person. I like to HELP people, not conform them. I don't judge people for being who they are. I may present certain facts of my own beliefs at certain times, but I will never shove it in someone's face.
I hate that PETA has become this symbol for vegetarianism. People assume that all vegetarians belong to PETA. And that all PETA members are even vegetarian! Also the fact that PETA get's a bad rep because of stupid shit that completely irrational people do in their name. Yes, i think they have a "general" good cause, but also do also do a lot of stupid shit! All of which only causes friction between people in the end.
It's just...sad.
I'm appreciative of the fact that my friends are supportive, and commend my decision. I also see that people that these comments are made towards retaliate in equal force.
LOL, i'm too sensitive.
