Why are vegans so preachy?

[Anonymous]

Every vegan I know acts like their so enlightened. So annoying

[Anonymous]

Not in my experience.

Because they're hangry.

If killing animals is wrong, then it doesn't matter if it's them that's doing it or you. They need to stop not only their own killing of animals but yours too. There's another similar cause with a similar belief system, btw.

Disclosure -- I am not vegan, I don't think that killing animals is wrong or needs to be stopped.

Yep, they're upset because they can't eat bacon.

+1 if you look at it from their POV, they are trying to stop the "murder" of animals.

Almost all of the Vegans I know use it as a tool to control an eating disorder. So, for example, instead of having to explain why they're not eating the eggs, baked goods, fish, chicken, steak, etc, they just say "I'm a Vegan."

Since veggies are so low calorie, they get to lose or control weight and their food intake without having to explain themselves over & over to watchful friends.

Because they feel a moral imperative to stop the needless killing of animals. People who believe something strongly SHOULD be "preachy" about it. Doesn't mean you have to listen.

Definitely a LOT of orthorexia going on in the vegan community. And the paleo community... and whole30. But yes, it's definitely prevalent in a lot of the vegans I know.

It's no small irony that often the biggest, most vocal proponents of veganism also tend to be strident opponents of those with that "similar cause and belief system".

Which certainly seems to prove one thing: not eating meat seems to make one blind to hypocrisy.

They should be called what they are: "Vegangellicals"

I agree with above poster. Many vegans have IMO an eating disorder.

I find many healthy food eaters to be preachy. I believe it's because they think that hey are right.
