That's just common courtesy.Keihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191984557296495610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991581224055794863.post-72888851517453359792007-11-07T16:40:00.000-08:002007-11-07T16:40:00.000-08:00Wow.

So a few are vegangelicals and all vegans get grouped together by you and those who listen to each other and give each other permission to take 'em down as idiots; dolts; as Ignorant, Urban, Monsanto loving, GMO meat replacement eaters who know nothing and believe all the same which means, according to you, that animals have no place essentially in the world?<BR/><BR/>Generalize much?<BR/><BR/>One extreme or the other?<BR/><BR/>Vegan bashing is just so PC these days.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there are stupid vegans... in the same percentage as the general public (including those who write about vegans on the internet). Since vegans make up 1% of the population there's a heck of a lot more stupid people who eat meat than the total amount of vegans.<BR/><BR/>Considering most of the vegan trash talk is all about validating one's own choices then maybe those are what need to be examined since there seems to be an insecurity about those choices requiring the taking down of others choices to build flimsy support.<BR/><BR/>Maybe instead of bashing what you fear you could explore it to see why people make those choices. Lots are made with a considerable amount of knowledge and education. I assure you that no force will be used on you to convert. You won't have to become vegan. Only informed.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't hurt to also talk to a few of the quieter vegans, which make up the majority, to maybe back up what you're putting out there to the world as what they are since you are defining them. Research is your friend. :)Bad Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086161722961880893noreply@blogger.com
