Re: I don't have any problems with people being vegan....
(Anonymous) 2014-04-12 12:00 am (UTC)(link)I hate the backlash against vegans. I'm not a vegan, but I hate people pretending that no, guys, eating meat is more ethical because vegan food is all made by exploiting workers in poor countries! If you're a vegan, you care more about animals than people!
But of course, meat eaters don't care about the workers being exploited to grow quinoa as much as they care about getting back at vegans, or else they'd also realize almost nothing that isn't homegrown is made without human exploitation. Oh, but if you only buy homegrown then you're also wrong because that stuff is expensive and unavailable in food deserts so you're wealthy and classist.

Ain't that the truth.
and I blame the Internet in no small measure.
It certainly makes the ammo more easily accessible by a mile!
Re: I don't have any problems with people being vegan....
(Anonymous) 2014-04-12 12:24 am (UTC)(link)I'm not vegan but I am vegetarian. I do it for ethical/environmental reasons but I don't judge anyone's diet, or try to convert anyone, or whatever. I don't lecture, but I explain my reasons if asked (without being too preachy).
But the moral backlash is astounding. I feel like people want to compensate for the fact that they don't want to be vegetarian by trying to prove how horrible vegetarianism is? As though this were a battle of political parties or something, it has suddenly become unethical to not eat meat? Like, what?
I agree there are some crazy militant vegans. I get it. But seriously, there is nothing unethical about not eating meat - you could make an argument about ethical consumerism, and how we shouldn't buy food from X, Y and Z sources, etc.
But it's not hypocritical to not do everything. Like, how dare you donate $10 to this charity for poor people, but not give your entire paycheck! What a hypocrite! If you actually cared, you'd give all your money until you had nothing left. Etc... that's the reasoning to me.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-12 08:35 am (UTC)(link)But that's me, with my budget and my health and my circumstances.
If there are options to be morally "better," does that make me a bad person? I don't think so, but a lot of people seem to feel compelled to deride any moral choices they don't choose to make to feel better about their decision.
I guess it's a kind of coping mechanism to deal with the cognitive dissonance of "I'm a good person, but I do this bad thing".
