RE: Ecotrain QOTW - Why do you think there is so much hate and anger toward Vegans, and why are those who eat meat and dairy so threatened by the notion of giving it up?
oh, I know this problem!
I felt the same!
I am not 100% vegan, but I changed my ration greatly and add much greenery, vegetables and fruits to it and start to eat less animal products, much less. My family was in great shock! It's extraordinary for my little city, and actually people say it's just impossible to be healthy vegan in cold Russia with its climate.
I heard so many jokes, so much sarcasm or simply criticism...every day! we quarreled and argued much, I protected my choice, but I was blamed that I feed my little son in such a way...it was hell...now it's better, they are used to think it's my choice, and I have a right to have my own opinion, but still there is no support and no understanding...
That's quite ridiculous the way people behave. It is personal choice be it whatever, if they not wish to follow it is their choice but one must respect other's preferences at the same time.
As per your climate, i can understand vegan diet may not go very well due to extreme cold.
