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?
debil@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

🤦♂️ Not a religion imposing their beliefs at all.

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?
FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I am not confusing anything. Veganism don’t have any rational basis and it is therefore a belief.
Another_earthling@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
No, it’s obviously not. I recommend informing yourself.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Obviously it is. With a lot of zealots as seen in this thread.
