They can eat all the veggie burgers that they want, but if they give me crap for eating meat, I will slap them with a raw steak.
Thanks, but my comment in this thread is just as opinionated and offensive to vegans, as anything else I write. The difference is that they don't feel the need to gather their friends to swarm the thread, and congratulate themselves.
I've heard from people who appreciate what I have to say, and I've heard from others who wish I was dead. The opinions of a few trolls and those desperate for their approval, don't count for much. If I'm considered "bad in this forum" by the very people most likely to have (banned) next to their usernames...again, then I consider that something to be proud of.
Stepping up, speaking out, and doing the right thing has never been an effective way to win popularity contests.
Good. As should we all. I wish more people could learn to do the same.
Vitamin A deficiency, go look it up. Results in going blind, or in worst case, death.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice
It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A,[2] a deficiency which each year is estimated to kill 670,000 children under the age of 5[3] and cause an additional 500,000 cases of irreversible childhood blindness.[4] Rice is a staple food crop for over half of the world's population, making up 30–72% of the energy intake for people in Asian countries, making it an excellent crop for targeting vitamin deficiencies.[5]
What part of my post was pulled out of my ass ?
If you truly pride yourself on "stepping up, speaking out, and doing the right thing", then may I suggest that tarring all vegans with the brush of your experiences with a few individuals is not consistent with that goal (indeed, it's pretty much the opposite on all three counts).
I don't agree with your bit about "elevating myself above the cycle of life, death, and rebirth". As a vegan I eat living things, like everyone else. I'm very much a part of that cycle.
As someone who doesn't believe in a higher power, I don't think humans are "meant" to do anything in particular. We get to choose who we are and what we do.
This makes no sense at all. There are billions of people in the world; we're collectively capable of considering and addressing more than one concern at a time. Yes, world hunger is arguably (though of course not objectively) a more serious global problem than whether or not to drink dairy milk. But it's also a more serious problem than declining standards in mathematics education in particular countries, or politicians using travel expenses inappropriately, or internet dropouts, or videogame bugs, but weirdly, when those problems are brought up, nobody comes out with this "we need to focus on world hunger first" stuff. It's almost like it's not actually about thinking world hunger is a vital concern that needs to be prioritised ahead of other discussion, but just wanting a rhetorical blunt object with which to attack particular causes.
you made a good post so i must thank you for it
You keep using "third world countries" in an inaccurate way that repeatedly shows your ethnocentric viewpoint.
Your choices are indeed your own. I have known quite a few vegans over the past thiry years or so, and you would be the very first one that wasn't preoccupied with "condemnation of other people". I'm sure I don't need to point out that I am not the first person to have noticed this tendency. Live and let live sounds like a fine policy to me.
Again, this isn't about you personally, but rather a comment about the familiar arguments I have heard from many others, over the years.
You see, I don't believe in a "hierarchy of life", where humans are better than animals, who are better than plants, etc. Instead, I value and respect life itself... in all its forms. "Murdering" plants is no different than "murdering" animals, in my mind. It is what we do as human beings, to sustain ourselves. Doing that more responsibly is something all countries could benefit from.
Someone else asked about "the cycle of life, death, and rebirth" but I didn't feel like explaining it. Since you and I have both quoted it since then, maybe I'll take a moment for that now.
Consider an apple seed (as one example). An animal or a bird eats it and craps it out somewhere in the forest. It sprouts and grows into a sappling, which grows into a tree that bears fruit. That fruit ripens and falls to the ground. The animals and insects in the forest eat the fruit. Some of that fruit dies and rots, adding its nutrients to the soil. More trees grow. The apple tree dies, falls over, and rots...etc.
