Long story short brewdog have released a "vegan" burger that also has a beef Patty on it and people are angry. Obviously it's a weird move but their goal is too encourage people to try plant based alternatives. By easing into it. Also, and here's the big thing, you don't have to be a vegan to eat vegan food. Someone asked why you would put vegan cheese on a beef burger to which I'm sure my lactose intolerant friend would inform them that he does it so he can eat a cheeseburger without shitting gravy.
I work in a cafe and of the 3 shelves of cakes and pastries we have half of the smallest shelf has a range of vegan cakes. And people lose their minds. One of them is a peanut butter cup! It's almost easier to make a vegan version of that. Like these people realise that their black coffee is vegan right? What's with the attitude of I'm not vegan so I won't eat anything labelled vegan?
Then there was the time Piers Morgan went ballistic on television because M&S made a vegan version of one of their popular sweets. This is a man who calls other people snowflakes blowing his lid because there's a vegan version of a jelly that he himself says he doesn't eat. Saying that if vegans want sweets they can have "kale nicies". Because everyone knows vegans only eat raw vegetables... And never eat things like popcorn, dark chocolate, potato chips, cake, sorbet or God knows how many others.
I'm also tired of being told by people that you need meat to be healthy. You can be healthy as a carnivore, a vegetarian or a vegan, as long as you eat the right amounts of healthy food and make sure you're getting necessary nutrients. But the people telling me that we need meat are almost universally overweight and unhealthy. Most people eat meat and... Well actually most people are unhealthy but I've never met a healthy meat eater who is aggressively anti-vegan food, probably because most healthy people realise that you shouldn't have a serving of meat and dairy with every meal of the day. Unless you're Jordan Peterson and you believe you should only eat meat all day every day like your colon has wronged you in some way and must be punished
SNL had a quick joke on weekend update about how vegan food is unpopular even though Gregg's in the UK have seen a massive surge in profits since introducing a vegan sausage roll and some of the fastest growing companies are producers of vegan meat alternatives.
My brother was a vegan when I was 10 and I remember people saying that veganism is just a fad, almost 20 years later and it's more popular than ever and everyone is still saying it's a fad.
So what are your thoughts on veganism? And aggressively anti-vegan folk? I get being annoyed by preachy vegans or those idiots spraying fake blood and picketing fast food places and supermarkets but why do people see the label vegan and lose their minds?
For balance here's a div who tried to sue her neighbor for having a BBQ:

Because just like you can be healthy as a meat eater or vegan, you can also be an asshole as either
For the record I'm vegetarian not vegan purely because when be i started losing weight and getting in shape I found it easier to get all my macro and micro nutrients, eat until I was full and still come in at my calories goal.
