I don't mind vegans, I really don't. But please don't try to make it a moral superiority thing. It's not. You still kill things, and you still eat the things killed. And please, for the love of everything, don't shove it in people's faces. Don't try to 'convert' people, don't broadcast your dietary preferences, etc. If it comes up due to a group meal or something, fine. Everyone has their preferences of what they choose to eat. I have my own weird selection. But the morality angle, or even the health angle is just silly. Morally speaking, there's no way getting around killing something to sustain yourself. And either way, it's the 'law of the land' so to speak. Animals kill things and eat them. That's just how it goes. It's not morally wrong. It's life. As far as health is concerned, humans eat meat. We've been tuned to do such. If we couldn't, we wouldn't. We wouldn't have the digestive track for it, and we wouldn't have the teeth. All in all, it's perfectly fine to be a vegan (or vegetarian), and I'm fine with you choosing to be such. I'm not fine with people trying to broadcast it and shove it down people's throats like Psy's Gangnam style. As far as the rest of the post is concerned (unrelated to veganism), I had a 'major awakening' type of thing in my life not too long ago. And it's about mindless consumption, shallow thinking, and the entertainment 'conspiracy' (not really a conspiracy). Here's a video I stumbled upon that kind of summarizes it:
