RE: Why do you think there is so much hate and anger toward Vegans, and why are those who eat meat so threatened by the notion of giving it up?
Did anyone bring up the Chick Fil A vegan protest? After all, nothing will warm people to your point of view like bringing your screaming dramatics, butcher knives, and fake blood to a popular family hangout to terrify the children...https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/pinellas-park-chick-fil-a-protest-angers-parents-scares-kids_20180227115325962/995150863
For further illumination, try watching the JP Sears video "If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans" on YouTube. He perfectly captures the condescending attitude that turns a lot of people off about vegans.
The title for the QOTW even belies a bit of that attitude. "Threatened" reads as a microaggression in suggesting meat eaters are insecure--and therefore wrong. I'm not threatened by the idea of giving up meat. I simply dislike it when people who think their diet is superior get heavyhanded in their conversion efforts--frankly, it's no different than religious fanaticism, and equally as irritating.
Now normal, minding-their-own-business vegans who just do their thing without constantly harping on it--THOSE vegans I have zero issue with.
Ive learned a lot this week! Starting to understand the vegan resistance’ ill be writing about it on my tie uo post later today. Thanks for this comment!
