[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

CalciumDeficiency@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 326 points –

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it IRL

What? I did none of that? I didn't distill your entire life based on a single comment. All I'm saying is that high calorie food is not limited to animal products and saying it's the reason you eat meat is weird. The reason you eat meat is your soy allergy, not any kind of high calorie need. There might be other reasons too, I'm not denying that, you just didn't give any other, but the first one you mentioned is the calorie amount and that's just a bullshit reason.
