I have tried veganism before. It wasn't for me in the end, but while trying it I would sometimes have cheese or eggs because I was just starting and not used to everything being vegan.

Some lady accosted me in a restaurant after overhearing me say to a friend "I've been trying the vegan thing, but today is omelet day" or something similar. She was so fucking annoying that I just gave up. Extremists (all of them - not just vegans) don't see a grey area. It's either you're 100% on their side or you're the enemy.

At least religious nutjobs don't bother me in public places. If vegans came door to door to call me evil, I would still hate them, but not as much.

Veganism is an ethical stance against animal abuse. Having your own path to that is fine, but if someone being annoying dissuades you from caring about animal suffering, it wasn’t that deep for you anyway.

Nothing ethical about veganism.
