    Not all vegans are f*cktards - don't hate us all!! :sad:

    edited to disclose that I am a vegan who occasionally eats honey...

    further edited to disclose that I encourage everyone to be a little vegan some of the time. change is incremental and any positivity toward veganism is doing the earth and the animals some good :heart:

    That really sucks. I dislike it when vegans have that "all or nothing" approach. I really enjoy vegan food sometimes, and I even try to make a point to lean more towards that way of eating, but that doesn't mean I don't eat meat once in a while. I think any reduction in eating meat helps the planet, even if its just one meal a day or a week.

    She had no right to throw her views on you like that. I'd be mad too!

    With how much that guy loves his bees, I bet that honey is downright amazing.

    Just like any other "extreme" lifestyle choice, there will be some angry nut jobs. Thankfully the couple of vegan sellers at my local Sunday market are tolerant. One of them has even spoken out in support of the sausage guy who treats his pigs right.

    Don't buy that pizza anymore!

    LOL! I would have calmly just said, "I'm a carnivore" and just got on with getting the pizza.

    Seriously, you guys are awesome.

    She's not the owner, and I probably will talk to the owner on Saturday. I think I set her off when I told her how good this honey was. IMO veganism is about the cruelty that mass farms employ. I know it's not the only reason, but if I were to go vegan, that would be the reason why. This guy doesn't poison his bees or kill his queens or any of that stuff. What peeves me is that I was so flabbergasted this was happening that I had nothing to say to her. So now all day I'll be running the conversation in my head and I'll get wittier and wittier and have no outlet for it.

    What a whack-a-doodle. You did not deserve that. Hope the rest of your day goes better.

    I had no idea honey would be considered non-vegan. So it's the product of the work of bees... so is EVERY pollinated plant!

    Not a vegan but I certainly respect the conviction. And I respect opinions when stated LIKE THIS!! And not like the original *kitten*!

    Sorry that happened to you, OP.

    Don't worry she won't sell much pizza with that attitude.

    You are too kind. I would have stepped on her (nicely) and let her know where I stand and let her know her opinion no longer matters so please stop talking and ring me up.

    I love vegans for all the creative recipes they come up with. Can't eat dairy at all or gluten or a slew of other foods either, but some of the vegan recipes out there are amazing.

    That being said, that would royally piss me off and I probably would have had the come back of "Who ever said I was vegan?"

    Or as one of my friends likes to say "The stupid, it burns."

    I hate when that happens---the wittier and wittier part--I am so witty in my head...real life, not so much! :) As far as the honey goes, Id have opened the lid and stuck my finger in for a quick taste, licked my lips and walk away. (or maybe thats just the in-my-head-wittiness again!) ;) I know someone who is vegan and posted pics of a turkey being slaughtered on FB at Thanksgiving time and basically insulted everyone who didnt enjoy her lifestyle. I had an extra piece of turkey just for her. And I have to say...just to be petty...I am healthier than she is...and I eat meat and meat by products. So there-dont throw your lifestyle at me like Im a bad person.

    I hope you do talk to the owner...

    We're not all like that, I promise!! I don't eat honey, but not because it's not vegan, but because I just plain don't like it. But we're not all like that! I'm vegan because I believe in being kind to all living beings, which includes my fellow humans...she was a meanie vegan!

    Vegans...meh...its more about a cause than it is a lifestyle.

    I lol'd. Most of the vegans I know, that's the case.

    If that's someone's lifestyle that's great! More power too them. Just the same with religion and politics and many other topics, don't try to shove them down my throat and we'll both be the happier for it.

    Personally, I don't ever want to be without my animal flesh.

    Just give her a Falcon Punch and eat your awesome natural honey.

    My mother wondered why I just burst out laughing.

    To stay on topic, I can't believe she didn't let you buy your pizzas! Enjoy your honey!
