(Read to the end, it is not what you think it is!)

I have stopped eating meat in 1990, due to the discusting way the animals are treated and I couldn't care less. At well over 40s I still look young, no gray hair, medical results are fabolus.

BUT!!! I would seriously ask all the vegans/vegetarians to STFU, they are annoying to the point where everyone attacks me when I tell him that I don't eat meat and try to argue. It is embarasing that, as a vegetarian (lacto/ovo whatever, who cares), I rather don't tell this to anyone, due to radical groups too stupid to understand, that their aggressive actions are beeing counterproductive. There was an old saying that fighting for peace is like f* for virginity. It just doesn't work. And I am so sorry that I think that there is no need to make every meat eater on barricades due to agrasive stand you unneededly take.

Just let people eat whatever they want. They will figure out on their own.

You may be shocked to find that you are part of the group you are trying to to call out...
Why should people be able to eat whatever they want? If people's food choices directly support cruelty towards another creature then someone has to speak up to defend that creature. Most vegans are not militant activists, but they also shouldn't have to keep silent. People will figure out much sooner how much cruelty is involved in producing their Popeyes Chicken sandwich if vegans speak up.
