1. I know a lot of liberals who bash us vegans. Just a fact.

[murielm99]

2. If they do,

it is because you judge us. I have been preached at by several vegans. Leave me alone and I will leave you alone.

[mucifer]

3. and you made my point. All I said was I don't like being bashed. You decided to go on the attack.

[LanternWaste]

16. I read no attack... could you point us to towards it please?

19. "It is because you judge us"

"I have been preached at by several vegans"

Seems to indicate that you judge us and that you're maybe unaware that we get preached at also? Even the most innocuous mention of the word brings out accusations of sanctimony, zealotry, aggression and "I won't judge your choices if you don't judge mine!" Well, I'm not, and yet, here we are.

There are evangelical and jerks at both ends of the spectrum, Governor Pete Ricketts being one of them. Vegan-bashing is actually a thing on DU.

14. Amen to that. I don't fully understand why it is that over half of the vegans I know...

... find ways to mention it in 100% of their conversations. Why is it important to continually remind everyone (even in NON-FOOD settings) I don't judge the diet... just the sanctimony. I don't go around lecturing them, why should anyone feel entitled to lecture me? I don't need to be "saved" or "converted" ... but I've encountered some that were as aggressive as door-to-door JW's.

This young lady, on the other hand, will never need to remind people she's a vegan.

8. Eating meat is a choice. It should always be on every menu

A meatless option should also be on the menu. Taking either off any menu is up unacceptable!

[LanternWaste]

17. Yo, man-- thankfully no one of note or consequence is arguing otherwise.

"Taking either off any menu is up unacceptable!"

Unless of course, we missed some middle-of-the-night legislation designed to deprive you of this choice that you yourself are privy to.

4. Look out

I’m guessing there are chicken farmers in Nebraska. I hope they have a vocal lobby.

There are also fish farms.

And vegetable farms.

I would think a balanced political diet makes more sense.

7. "I would think a balanced political diet makes more sense."

I would think so too.

5. A problem not even on the horizon for the carnivores in Oklahoma.

Of course that steak will cost you triple what it did this time last year...

6. Who needs repuQs to have a culture war?

We're capable of starting and sustaining one all by ourselves.

[Nevilledog]

12. True

9. What next, Ride in a Car Day?

Pretty sure most people in Nebraska eat some meat at least once a day.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. To be followed by a date to honor Rolling Coal ...

Maybe declare 4/1 as "gas fill up day" to highlight the importance of polluting our air for personal Freedumb

11. National Chill the Fuck out Month

13. Make it religious like fish on Friday for Catholics.

18. And to think, 1 Billion sperms lost to this one.

I seriously don’t even know where to go from here, he literally created a holiday that is celebrated every day at McDonalds. Does he think this decree is going to sway someone on a plant based diet? If so, he is dumber than he looks, and who are the morons that voted for him?
