Veganism 101

So... veganism. It's great. A lot of people are curious about it, and want to know more, but others view vegans as 'freaks', or sometimes, stupid, deprived, idiotic, and sometimes even..... egotistical. Do vegans think they're superior to omnivores? Well... it really depends on the vegan.

Some vegans do believe they are superior and will spout off all the good things that come from being vegan, and how much better it is than being an 'omni' and how awesome it is. Some of that is to persuade others to be vegan, but still others are doing it just to feel superior. Like the fact, "It's impossible to be a fat vegan." Veganism is a healthy choice, and it is indeed impossible to be a fat vegan, but that's because we don't eat as many fatty foods as omni's, such as... steak, chicken, pork, milk, cheese, eggs...

But some vegans actually are in it for the love of the animals, and not to feel superior, and most of those types of vegans don't. Factory farms are horrid things that torture animals before killing them and selling them in grocery stores. Such as chickens. In a factory farm, a chicken will lay one egg every 48 hours. That is not healthy. And when a chicken stops producing eggs, it's killed and sold in stores. And the meat isn't tough, because the chicken isn't old. And when the eggs are actually allowed to be fertilized, the ones that turn out to be roosters are thrown in dumpsters, half of the time still alive.

Really a vegan's mission is to convert omnis to veganism. They give out information, and literature, they recommend books, and movies, and will tell others about their choices, and the benefits, also how many animals they save on average just by not consuming animals and animal by-products.

So just to clear the air, some vegans do think they are superior to omnis, but those kinds of vegans are only a minority, and are vegan for health reasons. Most vegans genuinely love animals, and that is why they don't consume them, or their by-products. Not only are vegans not fat, but most of them are nice, energetic, funny people; normal, just like any omni.
