    Fair enough, I wasn't implying that it my 'responsibility' but just that if you're choosing to be part of something, you should be educated

    Again this is why, OP, we really don't need to be educated. You want to be Vegan, vegetarian..anything, just enjoy your life and stay out of others.

    That's the point. It's not up to you to determine what people should, and should not, be educated about. Or to assume that meat eaters haven't educated themselves. It's that condescending attitude that turns people off...

    Edited to make more clear: If I am able to help and they are open to hearing it/curious I'd be glad to help

    Or, what if those people ARE educated on the subject and their food source.

    If I felt guilty about eating meat and/or killing tasty animals, I wouldn't have shot all those Bambis, Thumpers and <insert cute cartoon squirrel name>s

    If YOU feel guilty about this, fine, but don't assume we all do.

    I am going to tell you why. A lot of people will disagree, but this is true. Subconscious guilt is why. You don't have to say one word, but immediately, they assume you are attacking them in your head. They assume you are judging them silently, and they begin to defend themselves out loud to the attack you NEVER made. They feel the need to tell you why it is ok to eat animals when you NEVER said one stinking word about it. I've been vegetarian since 1999 and have listened to more attacks about why I should be eating meat then the other way around BY FAR. Are there preachy vegetarians? Sure, but there are way more meat eaters that will attack you for eating meat. Every once in a bit, I've had someone confess in a conversation like this, yes, I do feel bad about it, but I don't have the will power. Well, there you go...

    as soon as they say something like "animals were put on earth for us to use" or "mmmm murder i love bacon mmm i eat so many cows" you better believe im judging them as trash but hey im a meanie :D

    I think a lot of it boils down to envy that you've made a conscious choice to better your lifestyle or make a change that you feel benefits the world that a lot of people don't have the discipline to carry through with.

    I envy vegans too to some degree for their capacity to modify their diets to that degree, but I don't allow it to feed an inferiority complex. Keep doing what you're doing and hold your chin up!

    You're a horrible person.
    BTW what kind of wine goes well with that? I'll pick up a bottle on my way over for dinner.
