Vegans

This seems to be a growing trend. It appears to be a “sheeple” choice by and large however. I don't fault anyone for choosing this, but I believe it ought to be done for personal reasons, rather than to be a follower. I see people who also can't wait to declare, “I'm sorry, I can't eat that since I became vegan.” as a way to draw attention to themselves at dinner.

I mean, come on... who really gives a toss about what you eat in the long run? I certainly don't. If you have dietary issues or choose not to eat meat for whatever reason, fine with me. Don't force your views on me, and don't drag me to a resto where all they serve is dirt and moss. Veganism is an order of magnitude more strict and (in my opinion) a cause for an unbalanced diet. Three quarters of vegans I know look pale and sickly and catch common illnesses with a higher frequency than seems to be the norm.

Respect of a dining partner's wishes is a two way street. I see some people who have become vegan being overenthusiastic. They are somewhat like reformed smokers in their actions towards those that still consume their nemesis. Don't ram your choice down my throat, unless you wrap it in bacon. Fascist vegans be warned.

I say to all militant vegans. Chill. The. Fuck. Out.
