How to deal with an extreme vegan!

A friend of yours is one of those radical vegans who chastises meat-eaters. Can you put up with her, or should you end the friendship entirely?

It gets so annoying when they try and push their views on you.

Vegan here. Chastisement is never acceptable. You preach by example. Believe me, showing example is the best teacher there is!

A lot of times these are new vegans. It’s hard. There’s so much you realize once you go vegan that you didn’t know before and you feel like others must want to know these things too. It’s like you’re seeing the world completely differently. But I know militant vegans are off putting.

I'm fine with vegans as long as they aren't pushy

I'm a vegetarian. I had to get rid of two friends. 😂😂😂😂😂 I like a bit of cheese, and fish occasionally.

Interesting video! I'd like to add (being a vegan myself) that situations like Christmas can be really hard when you're a vegan and everyone else eats meat, watching it makes you sad, and they may even make fun of your choices. Sometimes the best solution for everyone is to celebrate separately or meet up after the meal and do something fun together. This, however, is up to the vegan to communicate in a non confrontational way (it's not fair but we can't expect everyone else to understand how we feel, and they're in the majority). Colleen Patrick-Godreau has a lot of good content about how to handle social situations with meat eaters when you're vegan - highly recommend her channel and her podcast!

I knew an extreme Vegan who was controlling and nosy. She had an animal rescue and there were roaches and fleas everywhere because she refused to spray or clean anything ever. She looked like a bag of bones and there was always hair in everything she cooked. Animal and human.

I don't eat meat or dairy products but I could care less what other people do. For me I'm more concerned about people who eat junk food. Even if it's vegan.

I think theres a luttle bit of mental illness in most of them I had a friend like these a few years ago... always lecturing and feeling superior dor not earing meat and I live on a keto diet hahahaha... after a few years I saw her eating meat again and turns out she was vegan because she was so broke she had to stop eating meat and covered it as veganism also most of this people who are vegan and/or radical animal lovers are truly hateful on the inside, they are misantropes... I respect them if they respect me, if not Im nore than ready to go down with them

Veganism is the same as religion and politics . talk out loud about it and get ready to be bashed for it ;)
