Many people have successfully climbed Everest in the past. Are you saying that people have already converted everyone else in the world into vegans in the past, or that you're hopeful that it's as possible to eventually do that, as it is possible for yet another person to climb Everest?

Neither, but the latter is closer. I’m saying that ending animal suffering takes many steps, and that not even trying because perfection doesn’t seem possible to you is akin to not even trying to go to the gym because you personally (I am making an assumption here) have not climbed Everest.

But maybe those people just want you to shut up?

I have plenty of vegan friends and a small set of them beat the drum constantly.

I’m not going to be vegan and if there was a meat prohibition, I’d be an outlaw.

The thing that particularly drives me nuts about this kind of vegan is that they will bring cookies to a party and after everyone’s has eaten them point out that they were vegan and that everyone enjoyed them.

A. Carrots are vegan. I can eat stuff without meat, too.

B. No shit, Carl. You made them we assumed that.

C. the cookies sucked and people weren’t going to be rude at a dinner party where someone already went out of their way to make you a vegan dish.

D. They dipped them in milk because they were dry AF

E. If I went to a vegan party and made vegan cookies and fed them to everyone and told them in the end there were pig eyeballs in them everyone would get pissed.

I don’t do that because I’m not a self righteous asshole.

</rant>

Also, Carl sucks.

You seem really upset about a time someone made you cookies.
