[quote=Anonymous]I think it's only certain vegans, but the ones who are bug the heck out of me.

I have one friend who's been vegan for more than a decade. He doesn't make a big deal out of it. Sometimes, he'll ask about the menu if going out somewhere, just so he can eat beforehand if there is a limited selection for him. He will look the other way about possible non-vegan ingredients in a pinch, but that's rare. He became a vegan because he decided to try it once, and he liked it so stuck with it.

I have another friend whose veganism is basically her religion. She actually sends people, unsolicited, copies of "The China Study". She argues that veganism is a complete diet, because one can always supplement with vitamins (yah, "complete" doesn't mean what you think it means). Her main argument for veganism seems to be health, not ethics, which makes her preachiness so much worse. It's one thing if you feel that it's the right choice ethically to preach...because at least it's based on a belief of what's right. It's totally different to preach about health...because you are basically telling everyone their lifestyle is garbage and will kill them.[/quote]
