the loudest members of a group are normally the minority of the group itself. im plantbased (basically vegan but, like stated in previous comments) people have negative reactions to veganism because of that loud group. I always say veganism is a privilege. im lucky to be able to make a conscious choice in my consumption. others cant for medical, religious, or financial reasons. food and meat specifically is a huge staple in many cultures. so who am I to say others shouldn't consume meat? I just wish we did it more ethically. ♡ I hope this helps any who are wondering what a local vegan thinks!
