Phew.

But you clearly do care.
I genuinely fail to see why people choosing to live a different lifestyle annoys other people so much.
I couldn't care less who eats what, doesn't eat what, identifies as what, it makes no difference whatsoever to my life.

You’re mis quoting.

Read the sentence after the one that: “I don’t like being force fed a narrative all the time and part of that seems to be that it’s fine to have an opinion as long as it’s the same as the one in trend and the moment.”

What people do or don’t do I don’t give a **** as long as people extend me that same courtesy.

I’ve never proclaimed “I eat meat and everyone else should” as i tend to live and let live. A few extremist Vegans, generally, do not extend that courtesy to people. In my experience. That is my issue with a small number of extremist 'vegans'.

Corrected that for you.

My youngest is vegan, doesn’t make a song and dance about it and accepts a bit of flexibility is sometimes needed - when he was a tree botherer he tried vegan boots, found they were expensive and not very good, so accepted that for the job they had to be leather.

A rare one but fair play to him.

Apologies all for the post bomb but I can’t work out how to put them all in one!!!

I don’t try to ‘cancel’ anyone’s choice nor do i approve of animal suffering however, it does appear quite often that ‘cancelling’ those who eat meat is on the vegan agenda.

No vegan on this thread has attacked you in any way, if your in person response to hearing of the existance of a vegan or products marketed to them is the same as this thread then your experiences with them are more likely reactionary.

I think there are a couple - I recall an interesting thread a while back about non-leather welding gloves. It’s all good discussion.

More than a couple, half of this forum are vegans, they are all quietly plotting to rid the world of leather gloves, Texas Viking on youtube tig welds exotic alloys in cotton gloves claiming less risk of contamination than with leather.

Sorry.

I was talking generally.

I don't believe anyone is being 'bombarded' with the choice of others to eat without causing animal suffering? Certainly it is more publicised nowadays but that is purely due to the surge in interest and also the reason why cruelty free products are in all the supermarkets now. Even McDonalds and Burger King have that choice.

I could say (quite correctly) that the food choice of carnivores upsets me, but I don't attempt to 'cancel' that choice.

Do you know any carnivores? Or are you mislabeling omnivores?

Aimed at no one in particular: I don't really care what others do, but don't start on my choices when they don't match yours.
