Ummmm, no.
I'm pretty tired of so many people saying that. No I don't want any steaks in my salad or whatever. That's like saying everyone who doesn't eat cabbage is crazy. It's personal preference! If some vegetarian or vegan is really craving some meat, they can STFU and go eat some. I ate only veggie food (no dairy either) for a whole summer, and when I ate a greasy burger with a beef steak one evening it tasted pretty shitty. Haven't seen any reason to touch it since.
But yeah I know what people mean, preachy hardcore vegans are really annoying! They have a crappy attitude and are only pissing people off. Most humans don't give a shit, are too stupid to understand what they talk about or enjoy meat and are only interested in their own pleasure (conscious choice). 
I eat organic and vegan food when I can afford it because it makes me feel good and is tasty. Dairy is crap but my school's free veggie lunch has it so...

Veganism seems a bit too hardcore for me, but just for the heck of it I sometimes go vegetarian for a couple of months, just for a change of flavors in my diet. I can make a vegetarian pizza that kicks shit out of anything I've ever tried with meat on it, with the help of some flavor filled fungi of course.

Obviously many of the vegans & vegetarians haven't studied the food chain

mikeytro said: a lot of the vegans I encounter/ know piss me off I work at whole foods so I also get a lot of customers who are vegan...and I can spot them a mile away. why do they feel like they need to define themselves by their diet. I've seen many who wear vegan clothes, patches, tattoos and whatnot. also the ones I actually know seem to always bring it up in conversation time and time again. is this really necessary?
obviously this doesn't apply to all of them, but I feel its a great deal of them
im all about eating healthy, organic, and i try to be as much of a vegetarian as i can, i just cant stay away from poultry and seafood. but i know what you mean, theyre way too overbearing about it, they try to push it on everyone, all the time. now dont get me wrong, ill jump into an already occuring argument, or if someone brings it up ill talk about it, but i dont feel the need to push my dietary beliefs on anyone unless theyre willing to hear it or argue about it. it pisses me off when anyone does this about anything in life like religion or any other lifestyle.
i think many of their problems are that they think they are better than the rest of us, due to the fact that they can make the sacrifices that the rest of us choose not to.

Having followed a vegan diet for over five years I have to agree that many vegans and vegetarians have a holier-than-thou attitude they justify by pointing to their diet.
Some claim that by abstaining from meat and dairy they have found a means of sustenance which does no harm to the earth or their fellow man.
What they often fail to point out is the equivalent amount of packaging required for their foods, the same innefficient farming and transportation methods used for any supermarket products, and the presence of chemical processing and pesticides in their food.
The resources saved by skipping animal products are significant, but industrial fertilizers and fossil fuels are still humping that tofu to my dinner table.

yeah. i agree. thats why i get all of my produce from local produce stands. i try to stick with the ones that are smaller, as they usually dont use all of the fertilizers and chemicals. i try to get my poultry from local butchers as well. seafood.... not much i can do about that. i get what i can locally, but most of it is imported.
