    We have this reputation solely because people feel threatened and offended when you tell them that you refuse to eat animal products. They suddenly start being confrontational and refuse to listen to your reasoning.

    It’s like arguing with little children who plug their ears and sing while you’re trying to explain that 30% of the reason we’re in a climate crisis is their overconsumption of animal products, derived from creatures capable of emotion, able to see, hear, and smell not unlike you and me.

    And those conversations do not come up unsolicited but provoked by meat eaters asking “but why would you do that to yourself?”

    But maybe I’m being overly dramatic and preachy 🤦
