    I’m very much against the self righteous types of vegans that go around reminding everyone like they’re an Arch user.

    But… This is a stupid waste of EU time and resources. We have a lot more pressing matters to concern ourselves with than something literally nobody is confused about.

    Some people in certain positions must be incredibly petty to even suggest this.

      In my 2 decades online ive seen vastly more posts bitching about vegans than actual vegans preaching. Such a fucking big-meat psy-op

        I’ve had militant vegan neighbours when I was a student. I don’t know how they did it, but they found ways of turning every conversation about them and their “superior” life choices.

        Then there are the vegans I sometimes meet during my summer work ours; the ones standing on the street and bothering everyone walking past them in a very persistent manner. Like a jehova’s witness.

        I’m not saying every vegan is like this. I think I’ve met more vegans that didn’t rub it in everyone’s face than ones that did. But consider yourself lucky that you haven’t met anyone like that in twenty years.

      I’m wondering if this is because of regulations like, “it has to have X amount of peanuts to legally be called peanut butter.”

        This would be the silliest version of it.

        A burger or a sausage is more like a format of food rather than a specific ingredient of food. It would be like saying things sold as a “loaf” can only be made of wheat.
