About vegans

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I actually find people who have a problem with vegetarians and vegans to be much more outspoken and obnoxious than vegetarians and vegans. Every time someone brings it up in a forum like this, someone inevitably says "PETA means People for Eating Tasty Animals". 
I have had vegetarian parts of my life, and people actually yelled at me about it. 

Somehow it's threatening.

I think for some people the notion of others forgoing meat for moral reasons threatens their own sense of morality. It makes them feel insecure about their own character and they deal with that insecurity by, surprise surprise, being jerks and making snarky comments.

Don't take the PETA thing wrong, they are a rather dubious organization.

I don't think that was her point.

But that is the point of people who say it.
