Why I am Vegan

Oh, it doesn't bother me in the least......they are free to eat and think as they like....just as I am.

I don't choose to make them feel badly for their choices of what to eat and I'd appreciate the same in return. Most vegans, even more so than vegetarians, don't hesitate to try and make someone who eats meat feel morally wrong for that choice....that has been my personal experience.

Exactly!!

Im a proud chocolatarian...

Meaning anything made of chocolate I will eat it... eggs.. bunnies.... or even the plain old bar... LOL

sorry could not resist...

seriously though... I wish I had the self discipline to do it... (go vegan)... I can do it for a few months but then the overwhelming eurge to have a honkin steak kicks in and I am sunk

I must confess I like stirring the pot just a bit, and I find it engaging to interact with people who do so so here goes.
If a person really believes (which I don't) that it is murder to kill an animal for meat, how could they not confront people who do so?

One point about being a vegan is you won't see a 350lb one. There are times I wish I were a vegan.

I look at someone like that the same way I look at someone who tries to shove their personal religious views on me.......I can make my own choices just as they can.....if I wanted to change religions or eating styles I'd do it....I don't need someone trying to win me over to their way just as I won't try to change them to mine.

I know you don't believe it is murder and neither do I but you have a good point, problem is with the belief, they think it applies to all creatures in this case and what they are doing is unknowingly putting their life worth on equal par to an animal and humans clearly have a higher sense of reason. If they(chickens) were equal they would know to look both ways when crossing that road.
