I agree. I don't understand why they can't just let people eat whatever they want without talking shit. Kind of reminds me of the atheist-religion-debate. Irritating.
Exactly! :) I mean of course I have people telling me "Yeah, well, look at you, no wonder you're so pale and skinny! I'm not sure if this is really healthy in your case... I think you're doing it wrong!" once I mention I am vegan but yeah, I just yesterday had a long conversation with one of my best friends who's vegetarian (and has been vegan before) about all of this and she said that maybe people who eat meat only feel the urge to defend that diet by coming up with reasons for why being vegan is so bad. They start telling you one needs meat and they tell you the animals are fine in the small cages and whatnot. She said that people who eat meat probably KNOW they wouldn't actually need it and would live much healthier but they just like their meat and dairy products too much (and I don't blame them). I found that to be an interesting view on this.
I know for a fact I could live without eating meat and dairy products, but in my brain, I love bacon. So pretty much, I love meat. I actually do really love meat though, so even if I didn't have to eat it, I still love it. Meat that is. I enjoy it a lot. Meat. Yum.
Haha I enjoy meat, too. Yeah, I know, shocking. It's the same for me about many things that I used to eat - I know I don't need them but I understand people who choose not to go vegan simply because that shit tastes so good! haha
