45. No one is defensive against vegetarians/vegans

Vegetarians/Vegans are like people that don't believe in abortion.

Most make their moral choice privately. They don't try to convert/condemn others that abide by their personal choices.

Don't believe in abortion, don't have one. Don't believe in eating meat, don't eat it.

The minute people cross the line into trying to push their morality onto others is where people, rightly, push back.

No one cares if someone is a vegan. People care if others try to push their moral code onto others.

The "defensive" argument is the same B.S. tactic anti-abortionists use, don't stoop to their level.
