This is just zealots like any belief. It is not all vegans. I have been vegetairian for 30 years amd vegan for about 3, other than responding to you I never "promote" my life choice to anyone or try to convert anyone. It only comes up if a coworker say he lets grab dinner and I order a tofu curry while they have a steak. I even worked at a place for over 5 years before finding out a fellow employee was vegan. It just never comes up.

My cousin is like that. I enjoy trolling online vegans because they tend to be the zealots, but I don't actually have anything against the "ism" itself. Different strokes, and all that.

My cousin gets a big old pot of vegan chili when he's in town because he likes it, and I like making it for him. We poke fun at each other over bowls of the stuff.
