(40,416 posts)I just do not see how anybody can argue for being a vegan. It's like saying "I'm a Christian."
To both I say, "Fuck you!" That is because that I know that neither one of those people came to their belief rationally. Well, I don't literally say "fuck you", however I do not give their arguments much credence. If they said that they were a vegetarian, I would nod and politely move on to another subject as soon as I could.
But vegan is bordering on loony toons.
No dairy? No eggs? Nothing but vegetables? The only good protein source is beans, or close relatives. And then there are those who have babies, who then want to raise it vegan. What kind of kookery is that? The baby has no choice. Its needs are not vegan because millions of years of evolution have been omnivorous. If the parents do not feed it mother's milk, there are few vegan alternatives (if any). This kind of thinking has caused problems in the past, and it was the child that suffered.
If you want to be a vegetarian, that's good for you. I am fine with it, too.
But fuck vegans. They should go back to Vega. They are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
And let's get this straight. There is no vegan pizza because there is no pizza without cheese and vegans do not eat dairy. And if they do, they aren't vegan.
