I think hate levelled at vegans is hugely exaggerated, unless you are talking about those militantly trying to stop the rest of us from enjoying our meat
There's a group of foodies which are like born again Christians.
They're passionate. Mean well.
But you wouldn't want to spend the night with them.

In this regime you do not eat meat unless it is going to waste.
That's me. No dead animal I eat is wasted.
Forty years ago I started working for one of London's top family butchers. The guy was massively ahead of his time in terms of quality, cuts and what he did with meat. Ended up running his catering operation and learned that money spent on quality produce is never wasted.
Ms DM laughs at me for popping in to butchers shops when we are on holiday just for a look see.
I'm the anti-Christ of veganism. I can't abide fruit (no sweet tooth) and while I like vegetables I don't eat enough of them. I'm too time poor. The plan for retirement though includes lots of baking, preserving, fermenting and charcuterie.

I agree. It seems most of us on here know vegans or vegetarians and have no issue with them. It's the militant vegans that people hate. Just like the radical lefties, the right wing nutjobs, the born again Christians etc etc. Anyone that gets in other people's faces and preaches how to live their lives, while arrogantly assuming they know everything and that they are the most morally virtuous person to ever grace the earth, is going to get a fair amount of criticism and mocking directed their way.
If vegans are worried about people hating them they should direct their ire at the militant branch of veganism that causes this resentment.

And to be fair most vegetabilists look at these militant fuckwits with as much disdain as us normal, law abiding meat eaters do.

If you think underwear made out of meat is a thing you’ve been hanging around @Snowy too long

Been vegetarian for 8 years and vegan the last 3 and a bit of those. I do it for the environment and for my running. I run ultra marathons on trails and I need to reduce all potential inflammation. It definitely works on that front as this sport is tough! have run with the Ultra Marathoner (Scott Jurek) on Game changers a couple of times (including a 50 km training run in the Zion National Park on a 100 degree day) and did a couple of gym sessions with one of the Body Builders on the show Nimai Dalgado who has never eaten meat in his life. Got to agree that activists can be a bit out there but majority are good as people as anyone. Pretty sure Ma'a Nonu was vegetararian last year and Adam Thompson has been plant based for a fair while too. Both old in Rugby age but still doing the business. TJP is flexitarian at least. Broncos captain went vegan but struggled with it so changed back.

Underwear? You're just sick, that's gross. Coats, hats, gloves, all classy - never underwear.
