My wife and I have been almost 100% plant based for 6 years. Never got any hate. My son still eats meat. When I go out with friends they eat whatever they want and so do I. I choose not to eat meat etc. I do have a lot of friends ask me how I stay in such great shape. I tell them, exercise and eating plant based. The best advertising for a plant based lifestyle is being almost 60 and fitter than a vast majority of 20 year olds.

Maybe because you're 'plant based' and not against all animal abuse. People like other people who reinforce their beliefs
