Honestly, how many times have you been "lectured" by a vegan? How many times has a vegan or veg declared this moral superiority? You say that your tired of these people flaunting ethics and superiority in your face but I'm tired of people imagining this superiority and then whining about it. Its so cliche, even for a columnist. I've been vegan for almost a decade. I've seen people that are enthusiastic about it, I even encountered some of these militants that you speak of. If you ever encountered a real militant you wouldnt be describing him/her in the same way your column does. If you wrote an article about a militant spitting in your face and then throwing paint on your clothes I could understand you being pissed but this doesnt seem to be the case. As a vegan and as most vegans that I know, I do must absolute best not to say anything about other peoples food/clothes choices. That is, until I am asked. If you ask me about my diet I will tell you all about it. Again, I wait until I am solicited. If you are hanging out with a veg/vegan and you are listening to them speak about their lives you can expect to hear something about their dietary choices. If that sort of thing bothers you then maybe you should only hang out with omnivores? On the other hand, if you are one of these self righteous types that has to declare(as someone else pointed out above) "I love (insert meat product here)" as soon as they find out that I'm a vegan then they can expect me to say something back. If you walk around talking trash out of your ass then you can expect to be challenged. The point that I was making is that it is a slippery slope calling people hypocrites. You better make some real solid arguments and have specific examples of real things that have actually happened, otherwise, you just make your self look dumb.— April 9, 2009 12:01 p.m.

For a person who has only met a "few" vegans you sure do have the goods on these evil hypocrites. You must be completey free and clear of any and all hypocracy yourself. I'm gonna start trying to be just like you and make sure that everyone knows it. Honestly, this article sounds like you are mad because other peoples choices are making you feel guilty about something you are doing. Its like being mad at a person for being thin when you are a fat ass. Dont hate me because I'm ethically superior. Stop judging entire demographics because you need some s***y banter to call a collumn. Barbarella=Happy dummy 1— April 9, 2009 10:48 a.m.
