Why are some vegans so self righteous?

[Rhapscallion Démone]

I got called a serial killer by a vegan minister because I like hamburgers and honey bbq wings. I was also told that it's ok to eat plants because, unlike animals, plants don't feel pain. I did some research and came across this.

Do plants feel pain?

Few moments evoke a sense of summer like catching a whiff of freshly cut grass. For many people, it's a pleasant sign that warmer temperatures are here to stay. For the grass, however, this scent signals an entirely different story.

The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical distress call, one used by plants to beg nearby critters to save them from attack (usually it's an affront by insects, but in this case, it's lawnmower blades). After all, when danger strikes -- whether it's landscaping equipment or a hungry caterpillar -- plants can't lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand.

So the way I see it is you grass eaters are just as sinful as us carnivores. You really can't Judge anyone and need to not only get off your high horse but stop eating like one

Idk lol..I'm 90% vegan I guess but I eat honey from time to time and I wont avoid a cookout or party if there is just cheeseburgers and what not, I would still eat it, or if there is something people are raving about (i.e. popeyes chicken sandwich).

But I dont go around saying I'm vegan or talking down to anyone who isnt...its annoying and comes off as preachy

Picking the corn or beans or fruit from the plant isn't hurting it

Cat I went to school with lost a ton of weight (like 100 ibs) going vegan now that's all he preaches about on his social media page.

He is always saying stuff about people eating meat, soul food, seafood, and things of that nature.

I'm happy that he got healthy and is feeling better about life, but I could do without his little self righteous vibe.

Even if it fell off it still belongs to you. I'm sure John Wayne Bobbitt will agree with me

i agree with you op some vegans have this superiority complex about them ive seen it in real life and online. I guess like most ideologies it can easily become a cult. if u spend time around other diet groups ( keto , paleo etc) you see a similar self righteousness, everyone is convinced they have found the best and only diet and demeans those who disagree.
