Vegans are insane. I respect their moral beliefs, but they're completely insane.
Alot of Vegans/Vegetarians are ridiculous. There are those that choose to eat what they eat because of personally preference and morals. Then there are those that do it and try to convert everyone in their mother, and everyone who isn't a Vegan/Vegetarian is a terrible person.
In the word of Immortal Technique:
"First of all being a vegetarian should never be associated with being a revolutionary or being open-minded. That's a dietary choice... I like a lot of vegan cuisine, but the illogicality of expecting everyone to adopt their particular idea of what being healthy is is just preposterous. I've seen some of you herbivores and if you want to argue health, y'all need to eat some kind of supplement because some of y'all are so skinny that it's disgusting; looking like the only hip-hop mother****ers on Schindler's List."
I'm onboard with the veal, but I'm mostly indifferent about the lobster.

I dislike that second type immensely, because I dislike proselytising in all forms. Vegetarians, Eco-Crusaders, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Hare Krishnas, whatever. You found something that works for you, great. Keep it to yourself, I don't care to hear about it.
I once told one of those militant vegans that I am a vegetarian, just to get her off my back about it. Far from being pleased with that or even leaving me alone, she seemed even more upset that I didn't go the full measure and become a vegan. She told me that I wasn't killing the animals by eating dairy, but I was still maiming them. I lost all patience with her and told her to get bent.
Telling someone to get bent is one of my favorite sayings ever.
I have a cousin who is a vegetarian but eats chicken. Trust me, I don't get it either. I guess they're not cute enough for her, so she's allowed to let them die.

That is a little odd. Can't really say she's a vegetarian if all she's cutting out is red meat. She doesn't fit the meaning of the term anymore. But that's her business if she wants to self-identify that way.
Some people I know do something similar because they don't know any better way to get the protein they need, and that's fine.

I've done similar things. Tell the Vegans that they are destroying the planet by eating the plants, and by strictly eating plants you are eliminating the only foodsource for many animals, in turn jeopardizing the mass survival.
I've also done this with religious preachers. There's one guy that comes to my job and asks employees if they believe in God. Most just say yes but after weeks of the same guy asking me the same question, I told him how I felt the Bible is the highest selling work of fiction in world history and this guy looked so horrified.
Do you hate blueberry pie? Because then they'd really have a reason to boot you.
No chance. That stuff is the best up there. The restaurant I worked at in the summer's between college years had the best, it was perfect.
God, now I'm dying for some. This will be my first summer in 5 years I won't be up there the whole time now that I have an actual job. Kinda depressing.

Pie is the iconic regional food of New England. Some people would say it's clam chowder, it's not. Definitely pie.

Well, that's funny to watch their reactions, but it's not actually true. It takes more grain to feed an animal destined for slaughter, than it does if you just fed humans the same grain. More water and energy too. Raising livestock is an incredibly inefficient process.
So i just spent 40+ hours of playing Fallout 3. (The original through, have 2 expansions but ive just explored the map with the explorer perk, havent touched the expansions yet). I gathered 30 Nuka Cola Quantums for Sierra Petrovita for the heck of it. As i went to return them to her, she had disappeared. I learned from the Falloutwiki that she can disappear forever if you fight an enemy outside her shack. Great. Just amazing. I spent like 15 hours just for this quest (just think about how long time that is??) and now she is fking gone and I get squat.
