Epiphany I’ve Had About Vegans
I’ve hated vegans for as long as I can remember. I hate how they try to demonize a personal choice (what I’m eating) and how they act like they’re so much more morally superior.
But last week, I went on a date with a co-worker. She didn’t mention anything about it before hand, but at the restaurant she ordered a vegan pizza. I made some comment like, “you’re not a vegan, are you?”, and she was like “yeah I am”. I was pretty taken aback and was questioning her about it, but what she was saying made some good sense.
Anyways, I’m a pretty media-skeptical guy and the whole date and that interaction about her veganness got me thinking about how maybe vegans are just portrayed as crazy and people-haters when they’re not? Like a “few bad apples don’t make the grove bad“ kind of thing? I don’t know what do you guys think?
TL;DR: Went on a nice date with a girl who I found out is vegan. She wasn’t at all what I expected. Maybe we’re being pushed a false narrative?
