Yeah, it's weird that, when a person makes sacrifices for their health, planet, and morals, a lot of people react by giving them trout for it.
I've sat on both sides of this fence and I agree that they get trout for being vegetarian/vegan but as I've stated earlier I don't believe they're doing their health or the planet any good. Morals don't come in to this for me. Though I also see how much trout slinging the vegetarian and vegan community do towards those who enjoy eating meat. I think it's a case of those in glass houses should not throw stones. I'm more of the live and let live demeanour, I don't care that you're a vegetarian or a omnivore or even if you insist on a diet that contains meat and nothing else (almost impossible but I'm sure someone would find a way) and class yourself as a carnivore. So long as there isn't trout slinging in my direction for my personal choices when it comes to food I'm going to leave everyone else's choices alone. Of course when I get a militant vegan/vegetarian call me things like "traitor" or "scum" because I started eating meat again I destroy their puny little dreams and existence, I rip their bubble of ignorance and bliss away with the scathing facts that unless they wish to cull over a third of the Earth's human population a vegan/vegetarian only society is impossible and demand to know how they propose to solve the situation or how they propose to make an industry that generates billions of dollars a year globally to take heed?
