In reply to the discussion: Vegan Presidential Candidate Corey Booker! [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)72. I'm happy to hear it.
Your intent has been pretty clear all along.
Really? What would that be?
Your statement that people who "tease" vegans and vegetarians are doing so in response to, let's see, what were your words?
Judgmental
Sanctimonious
Evangelical
Aggressive
Tiresome
Lecturing
Finger-wagging
That list pretty much covers it. Thank you for being accurate, I can see you put a lot of effort into that.

I'm not one of those people. As I said initially, most people don't comment about our diets as we don't comment about theirs.
I'm happy to hear it.
However, you state, "I've seen the folks you describe (the ones who tease vegans) but it makes more sense that this type of behavior is in RESPONSE TO the aggressive lecturing and sanctimony of the evangelical vegans." Your assertion is that, essentially, we either (a) deserve rude treatment because they're trying to illustrate OUR rudeness or (b) deserve it because some other random person made rude remarks about their choices at some point in their lives.
You know perfectly well that I never said that. I didn't say anyone "deserved" anything. What I said was that this explains their response.
It really serves no good purpose to try and twist my words to give them some imagined nefarious meanings. I've taken YOU at your word, I believe that I deserve the same courtesy from you.
Yeah, so good luck with that.
Same to you. Edit history

I know I really love that VEGAN angle even though I'm only a vegetarian. But just think how

I'm friends with one vegan (that I know of... because she never stops talking about it)

If you are concerned for your health (vs animals' health) dairy is the worst for you

Yep. One reason I keep quiet about being vegan is the inevitable attacks from meat eaters.

I know only one vegan out of over twenty who never talks or evangelizes about her choice. In fact

No. I asked nothing of the sort. But, here's what I actually asked... quote:
