  Living to their beliefs is not a problem. Them trying to impose their beliefs however… I still remember a guy who described my meal as disgusting and mumbled something about murder.

    “impose their beliefs”

    It seems like you confuse it with religion. It’s not about beliefs, it’s about whether or not we find certain actions in our society to be morally wrong.

    Nice example of how not to communicate. But what has this to do with what we’re talking about?

      I am not confusing anything. Veganism don’t have any rational basis and it is therefore a belief.

        No, it’s obviously not. I recommend informing yourself.

    It’s funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it’s automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it’s a symptom of their cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.

      Would it be acceptable for someone calling you a murderer for eating meat, wearing leather shoes or driving petrol car?

        Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.

        So yes, it’s not polite, but acceptable.
