If you want to be vegan, more power to you. But please talk to your doctor first (and optionally do a bunch of reading from non-specifically-vegan sources about how the food is grown). The nutrition-feasibility, health benefits, and current, real-world environmental impact are frequently and loudly lied about by vegans.

    This is more of a rant than a shitpost. There are some extremely vocal groups in regards to veganism and their followers can be equally annoying. I would hesitate to only limit scope to just Americans though.

    Proselytism, bigotry or someone that is domineering is just annoying across the board. A healthy argument or discussion is one thing, but being a jackass is something completely different.

      I tried posting to Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world, but the submitting is broken (both on Firefox and on Edge)

      I’m not vegan but I severely limited my meat consume in the last years (for environmental reasons) and it’s really the other way round.

      When I’m in a restaurant with someone and order something without meat 9/10 times I have to explain myself. And most of the times people are telling me that they couldn’t forego meat as they like it too much…

        Same experience here. Vegans are usually chill, but people act like a dog defending their food bowl when it comes to eating meat.
