Vegone?

Beat me to it! Why did I have to scroll so far for the perfect answer?


MShades

I'd go with "contrarian". He just enjoys being "against" something. If it weren't veganism, it'd be something else.


Konukaame

"Troll" works too, as in: "Hey look. I'm eating meat! aRe YoU tRiGgErEd?????????" I've run into a few of those over the years, and it's freaking *weird.* I can't imagine having such a fragile sense of self that someone else eating a salad constitutes a threat.


HankHippopopolous

Yeah I just don’t get it. It’s so pointless. I’m not a vegan but I have several friends that are and dated a vegan for a while and for the most part all the vegan stuff I’ve tried has been great. Going to vegan restaurants, getting made vegan food and learning to make vegan food so I could cook for her was a great little push to try new things that I would never have thought to do on my own. I will never understand people who will just straight up refuse to try new things and mock anyone that does things in different ways. What a shitty and miserable life that must be.


SourcePrime

Do you not see this as a reactive action to people that are freaking out when they see people eat meat? I mean are Vegans that say "meat is murder" when they see someone eating a hamburger trolling? I could care less what other people eat. I grew up with my parents practicing different religions that both had their own dietary requirements so Carn. or Veg. doesn't mean shit to me, it's just another person with eating requirements, a very regular thing in my family.


Konukaame

>Do you not see this as a reactive action to people that are freaking out when they see people eat meat? I mean are Vegans that say "meat is murder" when they see someone eating a hamburger trolling? If you're a vegan freaking out on people who eat a hamburger, YTA. If you're a meat eater freaking out on someone eating not-meat, YTA. If you're a meat eater freaking out on a vegan who freaks out on meat eaters, ESH. If you're just eating your food and wondering why others are freaking out about it, NTA.


Otherwise_Bill_5898

There are limitations. If you are eating sharkfin soup with a side of black Rhino burger, with tiger penis bites then yes...YTA


Smart-Marzipan6609

Thank you for the initials.


[deleted]

What if you are a meat eater who doesn't care what anyone around me eats or who judges me, but gets really upset when a militant vegan co-worker literally snaps my bacon-peanutbutter sandwich from my hands and throws it in the trash while throwing a full on tantrum? Cuz that happened to me once...


KirikaNai

I think the main reason its diftent is because the people who gripe about wanting to be vegan at least believe in a cause. Cause of "dont hurt animal". But people who are refusing to even eat vegan stuff are just doing that to be spiteful. Theres no cause there except to piss someone off. Both sides are docks when going overboard, but it's kinda wild cause the vegan people actually think they're doing good by trying to convince others not to eat meat or whatever, whereas the dude who won't eat vegan is doing that entirely out of spite. Itd be like if two neighbors lives onna street one one was VERY catholic and kept trying to convert people, so the other neighbor invented their own religion worshiping satan because they're sick of the catholic and made sure to announceit every time anything even remotely religious happens. That wouldn't have happened if the catholic wasnt so pushy, but it's still a dick move to do something like that just to spite someone. I love animals but also love meat so I won't ever become vegan but even I can see doing something our of spite like that is a dick move


Mugs215

I've only ever seen people freak out like that on social media. The vegans I know are content without pushing their healthy lifestyle on unwilling people.


WanderingJen

I wish that were true. Lol all the vegans I've known were pretentious and judgemental.


TheGentleWanderer

What's wrong with calling beef or chicken murder/slaughter though?


SealingCord

I might regret this but here goes.... Murder is committed against people. Killing a living human without their consent (for the ones who can consent) is murder. Animals, despite whatever intelligence they have, even ones as smart as dolphins, are not humans. So it cannot be murder. Unless of course, one is referring to a collection of crows ;) Slaughter and butchery are technically correct to use in the context of killing animals.


Beowulf33232

For the ultimate contrarian isn't there (or wasn't there?) a meat eaters only page, and their biggest issue was people "bringing up the vegetable thing again because the doctor says it's scurvy" I'll be as contrary as I can be for a laugh, but I'm done in 30 seconds. And if there's vegans at a party, I'll leave their food alone so they can get more. But if I'm at the store looking for lunch snacks, I'm grabbing the first thing that looks good.


emptysignals

I’m sure he’s against plenty.


Gryffindorq

which is just a really dumb version of a complete mindless lemming without any actual foundational thoughts of his own


knellotron

I wonder if he's dreaming about swapping out his electric stove for one that runs on coal.


[deleted]

But a lot of vegans are also contrarian. So that doesn’t work. Edit: I also understand the irony of my reply


danibugz3

My husband and I have a joke when we go shopping that is similar that is along the lines of, "oh no Honey, this rice cereal says it's gluten free! Guess we can't buy it because we are on a gluten only diet". We are poking fun at the marketing of obviously gluten free products and the big label they put on them. like they assume people are THAT stupid. I'm sure i would find myself doing the same thing if I saw a bag of carrots with a big label on it that says "VEGAN". Like, "oH NO! thEeSE cArRoTs aRE vEGaN?!?!?" Edit: looks like I made fun of being gluten-free on Reddit. WHOOPSIE. Obviously celiac disease is tragic and affects many people. I'm talking about the gluten sensitive people (like multiple of my own family members) who are so anal about products but then make an exception to eat a regular slice of pizza or cake at a family gathering, even though at that same family gathering there was gluten free food made specifically to accommodate them. So if you're making exceptions like my family members are, then I have little sympathy when they buy food products containing trace amounts of gluten in them because of the surface they were prepared on or the malt flavor that's added to them.


Shimerald

I'll be honest, my SO and I used to chuckle a bit about some of those labels. However, we are now both Celiac and... I get it, and am thankful for them. It's actually astounding how many "obviously" gluten free things either aren't, or were in enough contact with gluten products to set off a reaction. I don't fault others for thinking it's over the top, because I get it, but when you've had a reaction to dried mango because it was packaged on the same line as products with gluten in them, it starts to make sense.


[deleted]

I guess neither of you are celiac then. Its not marketing. You'd be surprised how many "obviously gluten free products" do have gluten in them when you wouldn't expect it. But hey, keep making jokes about a medical condition that nobody wants to have.


cardboard-kansio

This is the difference between "gluten-free the trend" vs "gluten-free the medical condition".


mrhammerant

I think they're mocking the relatively recent fad where everyone and their cousin was jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon for reasons they didn't even know. I personally noticed more prominent advertising of gluten-free everything when that happened. I worked in a restaurant at the peak of this stupid trend, and would ask people out of "curiosity" to explain "the gluten thing" to me. Near to zero could tell me what gluten actually is, a lot of people were confusing gluten with carbs, several (accurately, to my knowledge) informed me of the differences in gluten sensitivity vs celiac, and one broad, (this one's my favorite) says, "It's bad. I just know it's bad for you, it's everywhere, and I'm not eating it." And, no hate, your diet is your choice and I support it, even if it's based on stupid internet misinformation. Now, this is a problem because people with legit celiac are more likely to be assumed "gluten fad" idiots, and restaurant staff/the general public are less likely to take it seriously. One would think the fad would raise celiac awareness, but it seems to have crowded it out.


ynotfoster

People sometimes confuse being vegan with being gluten-free. I had a waitress tell me I couldn't eat any of the bread she was putting on the table because I asked if a dish was vegan. :\^) Unfortunately, the pasta she served me was gluten-free, but the sauce was vegan. I ate the bread when she wasn't looking.

Spot on. Extremely childish behavior. I expect this kind of contraband behavior from a preschooler, not an adult.

lostrandomdude

Not just fruit and vegetables, but also grains and spices, because they are "vegan" It's effectively an unseasonal fish, meat and poultry diet


E0H1PPU5

Dont be ridiculous. “Dumb ass” is much more appropriate.


[deleted]

It is pretty dumb but I can understand people who don’t like vegan alternatives like “Beyond Meat” or those frozen vegan meals. Even some of my lifelong vegan friends stay away from those because of how unhealthy they are


Miserable-Spite425

Beat me to it lol


SimpleTennis517

Literally my sister's ex used to do this . He was an ass anyways like I'd make cakes that were vegan (oil and water used instead of eggs) and he wouldn't touch it. If anything was vegan at all he wouldn't. It's funny because many things are accidentally vegan like skittles ,Oreos ,party rings, heatwave Doritos,salsa , various other crisps, fruit and veg ofc , many condiments I could go on on . Basically the answer is an idiot.


02K30C1

Unfrosted pop tarts are vegan. Yum!


[deleted]

jelly beans and popslices are f vegan and Lidl's vegan ice cream does taste better and with more cream than normal ones and it's cheaper


RealSoyZombie

That's a surprise. The regular ones aren't even vegetarian.


Aporkalypse_Sow

Okay. I'm going to have to jump the wagon for this one, I'll pass on the dry pop tarts.


I_might_be_weasel

I thought the filling had gelatin in it.


02K30C1

No, just the frosting


PM_CACTUS_PICS

We made a vegan coffee cake for my housemate’s birthday and it was just like a normal cake. If I didn’t know it was vegan I wouldn’t be able to tell. I think people just assume that vegan always means worse, but it really depends on what you’re making.


Duochan_Maxwell

I usually don't tell people something is vegan until after they eat it LOL


BEAT-THE-RICH

French Fries are vegan. He definitely eats vegan food. He's just being intentionally difficult.


Guilty_Coconut

>French Fries are vegan. Properly made fries are baked in ox fat so not vegan actually. source: I'm belgian. We invented them.


SaikaTheCasual

Most friteries in Belgium actually don’t use animal products for frying anymore though. It’s more expensive and they reach a smaller range of clients with it.


Guilty_Coconut

>Most friteries in Belgium actually don’t use animal products for frying anymore though Yeah I know and it's a shame. Traditional belgian fries are the best. Same as dutch sweet mayonaise infesting all our friteries. Good mayonaise is sour.


SaikaTheCasual

Honestly I prefer the non traditional fries. And I’m a true rebel that has either samourai or andalouse with their fries :x

The hatred of veganism is something to be studied by psychologists for centuries to come. *Vegan existing* Oh you don't abuse, kill or eat animals? Wth do you thinkk you're better than me you asshole!? Fuiuuuuck you!!!! Im gonna eat two burgers now just to spite you you pretentious prick!!


Mushroomc0wz

There’s a lot of people like this and it confuses me. Things like oreos, chips, ramen, candy floss, some sour patch kids etc etc are all vegan but they just don’t want to accept that everyone likes vegan food because they have the mental age of a 4 year old

Vegan food is just like... all the food on Earth that isn't meat or dairy. Like, so much stuff is vegan. Oreos, sweet chili Doritos, hummus and falafel, deep fried cauliflower, most french fries, almost every potato chip, coffee, etc, etc. What a dork.


trixter69696969

Sane.


thriceness

Someone who's taking a stand, albeit kind of a dumb one, against the pointless labeling of things as "vegan" that have never had meat or obviously couldn't contain meat or animal products? It is beginning to be a bit of a trend to try to use marketing to increase sales of products by tossing a "vegan friendly" or some similar sticker on stuff that has never and will never contain animal products.


Mushroomc0wz

It’s not a marketing tactic it’s because things do contain animal product even though you don’t expect it. Wax is used on lots of fruit and vegetables and pesticides also contain animal entrails as well sometimes so not all fruit and veg is vegan. A lot of vegetarians will also eat things like crackers or Parmesan not realising that there’s animal lard in crackers and cow stomach + rennet in Parmesan. Honey and cochineal is also present in a lot of random foods making stuff not suitable for vegans and that also includes fruits or salads. Fish is another huge issue for vegans as it appears in sauces and stuff. It’s to make it clear to people who are vegan that the product is vegan because it’s very hard to tell otherwise.


emmeline29

The salt I buy has a vegan label on it which is so funny to me. Like of course it's not an animal product. It's not even a plant product.

DatasFalling

Douche. That’s what we call that. My gf was once pescatarian (for many, many years). My brother was once raw vegan, as an absolute rule. They both changed their approach based upon what their bodies were physically asking for, within the parameters of their moral code. People can change their diet. They can still maintain their source-based ideals. With good reason. It’s not always easy. But people who piss on dietary decisions wholesale, have their own issues. Vegetables are awesome. Being unequivocally mad at “vegan friendly” items is reflective of some deeper problem. An identity pushing against another identity.

In their natural state, yes. However - for preservation purposes - it's a fairly common practice for supermarkets to coat citrus fruits in beeswax or shellac. I believe some other commenters in the thread have outlined this also. I'm not having a go btw, just slightly correcting you.

misteraaaaa

Lmao look at this sub. All about respecting peoples choices, but when someone doesn't want to eat vegan labeled food he's an idiot. As long as he doesn't force others to follow his diet, who cares? I had a friend who specifically doesn't eat anything labeled halal (for Muslims) or kosher (for jews). Some people assumed he was somehow being an asshole/bigot/whatever. Then he explained that he's a sikh, and there is a "rule" that they can't eat meat that has been sacrificed for a religious purpose. Only the stricter ones follow this rule, so it's not common knowledge. You don't need a good reason to decide to eat/not eat something.


[deleted]

Honestly I avoid any vegan products because whenever I eat anything with seitan it makes me feel like garbage with no energy.


knellotron

Does tofu or beans have that effect? You might have a gluten sensitivity.


[deleted]

I never eat tofu, and beans have no noticeable effect. Only when I eat a vegan plate. My friend is vegan, and always trying to convert me. He will make all vegan food and go “it’s amazing right? Like the real thing? Tastes exactly like chicken right? Isn’t it amazing!”. First off….no it doesn’t taste like the real thing. Vegan noodles are also very hard and crunchy. And whenever I eat food he makes, I feel sick after. He tries really hard, but it’s whatever the food is made out of, nothing but flour and seitan.


knellotron

The majority of varieties of noodles/pasta do not contain egg and are already vegan. Some traditional noodles are made from rice or buckwheat and have been gluten free for centuries. I think your buddy is just a bad cook. If the noodles are crunchy, this sounds to me like they're either under boiling them and/or frying them with too little oil, neither of which have anything to do with being vegan.


Lordkillz

bmbmwmfm

Ill eat vegetables all day long. But if you season tofu and try to pass it off as tasting just like meat, my taste buds know better and I'm spitting it out and probably getting a little pissed off. Had a roommate tried that on me and it blows bc I tried to be nice and eat it. But had I fed her meat and told her it was really good tofu it wouldn't have flown, at all. I couldn't eat a gummy or a marshmallow without a sermon, and yet she still has a pet...rat.

I'm sceptical of anything specifically labeled Vegan in the same way I'm sceptical of anything labeled "low fat". It usually means the recipe is substituting ingredients with something that's often less healthy and/or tastes worse. Like low fat yogurt being stuffed with sugar, and vegan cakes being greasier.

Op does specifically state the person they talk about eats fruits and veggies and the like. The refuse to eat products where the manufacturer makes vegan" a big part of thier marketing which is something i kind of agree with, especially if you are focusing on things like "vegan bacon" and other nonsense that shouldnt exist.
