vegans annoy me so much

mostly because they're right. I eat meat because I like the taste and it's convenient. going vegan would be great because animals suffering is horrible but...it's hard.

it's kind of like doublethink in 1984; when I really think about it I know I'm doing the wrong thing, so I just ignore the fact that animals have to die so I can have a tasty bacon sandwich. and I guess that's why vegans annoy me so much, because they're just reminding me that I'm making a bad choice just so I don't have to slightly inconvenience myself.

even though I'm thinking about it a lot, and I'm cutting down my meat intake and telling my vegan friends I'll seriously consider it, I know in my heart of hearts I'll never go vegan or even veggie...

Bacon is tasty.
bacon is the most overrated food imo
Frog memes are overrated imo

I feel your pain.
I became a veggie last year, and I'm not going to lie, I've had my relapses. I love meat so so much, especially a nice juicy steak :love:. But to me, the taste just doesn't justify the cruelty to the animal.

I'm not vegan though, and think I would really struggle with a vegan life style. I'm already considered underweight, without cheese the weight would just drop off. Plus, cheese is my meat substitute, I'd be lost without it :coma:

Just remember. They may have the moral superiority, but you have the bacon.

How do you know this?
If I go vegan what difference would it make? I am just 1 person the animal killing would still continue

I feel the same. I've been vegetarian on and off for over 5 years. I could never be vegan though

Just been sat here for a solid minute googling images of bacon sandwiches... Omg :coma:

OP, if you aren't ready to become a veggie, why not just consider more ethical eating? For years before I became veggie, I'd only eat free range chicken and free roaming pork. At least that way when you tuck in to your bacon sandwich you knew the pig lived a tolerable life.

It's so difficult. I wish I was one of those people who didn't like the taste of meat, but I've always been the girl to go for the steak option on the menu.
I love bacon too much, I would struggle trying to give it up

I don't think I've ever had steak. Is that beef or pork?

Well I've eaten meat all my life. I don't think about the way the animals are killed tbh. Yeah I'm a cold-hearted bastard but that's how I am

Steak is usually beef but it can be other meats too

Beef usually but you can get lamb and pork steaks/ chops :smile:

Sometimes what I think isn't helpful is the attitiude that you must be either a full on meat eater, or a complete vegetarian. If people were encouraged to take more of a moderate attitude I think we might see more improvement. You don't have to be a complete vegetarian, but just to say, have meat once a week. I feel like so much more people would be willing to do that, and that would help so much with our issues of over-consumption of meat.

The concept of becoming a vegetarian is too much of a leap for some, and I think that tends to lead people to just ignore the issue or to not think about their meat consumption.
