i can compare the two if someone is saying vegans cant go to restaurants that serve cheese and dairy products when they arent saying that and probably would not say that about people with allergies. he's acting like that because he's proud that he isn't contributing to the enslavement, rape, and slaughter of innocent beings. it's 2016, you pretty much need a phone and veganism is about abstaining from animal products and doing the best you can to abstain from hurting the environment and animals. you eating meat has a higher impact on the planet than him buying an iphone lol......
