    Veganism. Many people wilfully misunderstood all arguments why people choose to be vegans and come up with all kinds of strawman arguments and make believe scenarios that are totally beside the point.

    I am usually rather reasonable with my carnist friends cause I believe calm respectful conversations are better to change people’s minds than heated debate.

    People always say vegans push their agenda, and maybe some people specially on internet do, but more often it’s the other way around, it comes up that you are a vegan and someone just has to try debate it. I’m usually well prepared for those arguments cause I have done my research but it doesn’t matter cause they never listen.

    No I don’t think I’m better person than you.

    No my first goal as vegan is not to take issue with some native fisherman.

    Yes, if I was stranded on deserted island hypothetically I might reconsider my principles.

    Yes, you actually get everything you need from diet if you construct it right. There are people bigger than you who can lift more than you who are vegan.

    It’s not some sacred pact written in stone. I never really slip from my diet, but I still got common sense if situation should change.

    It just gets tiring, I don’t even bring it up that often to people.
