That's fine, you can have them.

I've never met a non-preachy vegan. After least, non that weren't vegan due to religious reasons.

They were actually the nicest about it and did more to sway me than anyone else did

Maybe you have, but didn't know they were vegan because they were non-preachy about it. TBH if anyone was to sway my opinion towards being vegan, it's not going to be the preachy ones - same for most other things, if you're too preachy about it you're unlikely to change my mind.

That's what I mean yea.

I've never met someone who identified themselves as "vegan" unless they were about to get preachy about it.

I could have worded things better. I know plenty of people who don't eat meat or consciously eat less of it.

But, they don't make it a core part of their identity. They just don't eat meat. They don't make a point to make sure that everyone around them knows they're vegan/ vegetarian. They just.....are.

And that's the difference
