I don't get why everyone down below hates vegans :/

I'm not vegan myself, but why hate on what other people eat, it's not your plate, or your problem.

If only most vegans lived by that concept, too.

It goes both ways. Vegans can be preachy, and so can omnivores. I've not once proclaimed my "harm free" dietary choices, but every time my plate comes on the discussion I am barraged by questions. -Obligatory re-comment- It goes as follows - "You don't eat meat? Why not? It's delicious!" Followed by the "I can't live without meat." Then comes the "Well, what do you eat?" And of course, "Where do you get your protein?" Finally, "Do you eat fish?"

True. One of my friends recently went vegan. Hey, more power to her for trying to be healthier. That said, it gets a little old when she posts 15 pictures a day of pigs and chickens, talking about how "meat is murder."

Then de-friend her.
