I'm an eighteen year old girl who has been vegan for 2 months now. I love the lifestyle and will most likely be on it for the rest of my life. I don't feel deprived, my skin is clearer and I'm

    I have nothing against it, but I like meat.

    To each their own IMO.

    I don't care, it's a tiny % of the population and those that I have been around struggle to find things they can eat. Good luck to them, and you, and any other outliers.

    It doesn't bother me how others eat but it certainly isn't for me. I would miss meat way too much. I am rather lazy as well so the thought of all the research I would need to do and the new recipes I would need to find to make sure I was getting adequate protein and nutrients would put me off as well. But if you are enjoying it then that is all that matters. :)

    I don't care how others eat I just don't like how a small minority of people (in every way of eating) feel they are morally superior to others and try to convince everyone to convert to their views

    People don't go vegan because they don't like meat.

    People go vegan because they dont feel superior to others.

    They shouldn't as that is the point but I know a few vegans who like to remind meat eaters about how much more ethical and better people because of their choices. Most aren't Luke that but some aren't respectful. It's not just vegans, there's one in every "diet" crowd

    I think it's a great choice for those who feel ethically drawn to it.

    Personal choice. I care very little what other people do with their time. (as long as they're not interfering with mine)

    I don't care as long as the vegan isn't shoving his/her WOE in my face and continuously belittling me/being snide about how I'm contributing to animal abuse because I'm eating a sandwich. I don't do it to you, so don't do it to me.

    I don't think it's for me, but I don't have anything against others doing it.

    I am moving toward a plant based diet mostly because my teenaged daughter is vegan and the changes I have seen in her general health are wonderful.
    I am annoyed by the "holier-than-thou vegans" but there are holier-than-thou types in every group.
    I feel very strongly that whichever diet someone chooses to follow research, education and MD guidance are important.
