Lawzy. This is such a mess. But then, keto will be protected, too?

I have a friend who insists she will never wear the skin of an animal on her back (she is not vegan)
but I notice she wears leather shoes, belts and carries a leather purse and wallet There seems to be a disconnect here |

I have always loved animals, and at 12 I signed the Cleveland Amory No Fur Pledge (which I have still abided by all these years.) Later, this drove me to vegetarianism, but not only did it make me fat and sick, I did some research and found out that every book in the world is stuck together with glue. From animal sources. In fact, it's not possible to be "ethical" by avoiding the cycle of life. Those veggies the vegans embrace can only live with animal products in the soil. It's a belief system. No less, but no more. |
And the saga continues ...

As a carnivore, I would have been discriminated against when the meals were all vegan.
I guess the only solution is to not have the organization ever provide food, furniture, or investments. |

First, everyone had to eat vegan foods for his "rights" to be upheld? He couldn't simply eat vegan fare and let others eat meat? Second, the bold in the quotation is mine. To people like the plaintiff, being called "vegan" is a high honor. Vegans are to be praised. But "meat eater" takes on a whole new connotation in his eyes. "Meat eaters" = Evil. This says it all: Quote:
It's OK for vegans to judge meat-eaters, but it's not OK for meat-eaters to judge vegans. Sounds about right. Not. |

I find it fascinating that people can spend so much time and focus on confronting these "issues." Their lives must be really uneventful and simple to have to invent conflicts related to others choices and behaviors and then throw one's energy into something that seems to inconsequential to me. But, admittedly, that's just me. |

It's a personality type. In the UK we call them busybodies. Love poking their nose in other people's business and ordering them about, creating issues where quiet live-and-let-live prevailed before. |

Sadly, we have them here, too. Veganism really is more like a cult than an eating system. There's insider terms, difficulty interacting with others who aren't part of the cult, disregard of science and facts, and this belligerent response with ridiculous demands. Like vegans are becoming so obnoxious to restaurant staff than any request can get some rolled eyes. "Has my soup been cooked in a kitchen with meat in it?" turns out to be an answer that is always YES but they make a fuss anyway. |
It is the sense of moral superiority and entitlement that I find enraging. Lots of people choose to eat in lots of different ways without the expectation that the outer world should cater to their choices.

This just in ...

Vegans need to figure out how to humanly harvest their food. Hacking, cutting, and ripping, along with eating, seem to cause the plants 'pain'.

It's fine for vegans to abstain from eating animals, wearing leather, or whatever, as long as they don't try to force others to do the same thing.
I don't like to eat meat that's been tortured, like lobsters in tanks with their claws bound shut, chickens grown in cages, etc. so I understand their point a bit, but I'm not about to tell anyone else what to do. I know some vegans who are good friends, not militant about it, and when we meet them for dinner, we pick a restaurant where they can get vegan and I can get omnivore food. It's a lot easier to get along if we just try to get along and respect each others differences. Bob |
If this fellow won't take public transit because bugs might be squished--well, maybe it's a philosophical belief. But--how will the pension fund find anything to invest in, if they're not allowed the use of the wheel? He can say, well, there are practical limits--but I think acknowledging practical limits should have him taking the bus to work.
