It has a lot to do with us. "veganism" is an
aggressive movement that seeks ultimately to impose its
values on those who disagree with "vegan" fanatics.

There already is more than enough food to feed the
entire world, EVEN WITH the consumption of grain by
livestock. You indicate that you are utterly ignorant
of the economics of world hunger.

Yes, you did.

It's implicit in "veganism". You feel you're doing
something "more" ethical by not consuming Animal Parts,
and it's quite natural to think that everyone else
ought to do likewise. In fact, if you DIDN'T feel that
everyone ought to do likewise, then it would be even
further removed from being a legitimate ethical choice.
It always amazes me that people are so indoctrinated
into moral relativism that when they behave, or believe
they are behaving, differently on ethical matters from
others, they can pretend there is no implied criticism
of those who don't believe and practice as they do.
Thus, for example, people who proclaim themselves
"personally" opposed to abortion, but out the other
side of their mouths say they don't want to "impose
their values" on those who want an abortion, are
massive hypocrites. If it's wrong for them to
extinguish the life of an unborn human fetus, then they
MUST necessarily believe that it is wrong for everyone.
You are LYING, again, if you say you don't want to tell
others what to eat.

There's your lie again.

The "personal decisions" are based on lies and illogic.
