The only difficulty in our societies is the group pressure from non-vegans. That is the main reason why vegans experience difficulties.
Really? I can't remember a single incident of meat eaters giving a vegetarian flack for choosing to not eat meat. I can however remember endless incidents of vegans trying to push their lifestyle onto meat eaters, and then act as if they were minding their own business when they are told to fuck off and mind their own affairs as they wag their finger at omnivores as if they occupy some kind of moral high ground. Veganism is more of a cult than a dietary choice.
I thought I was going to find at least one logical argument against eating meat in here like for example how much grain and water has to be used for every pound of meat you eat, therefore reducing the available food supply by that much more, but no. All I read was a bunch of ideological drivel. Your diet is not a question of morality, and just because you eat plants and twigs doesn't make you any better than anyone else. Hitler was an environmentalist and a vegan too. IMO this type of ideology is often just anti-humanism disguised as some new agey spiritualist bullshit. Now take your malnourished ass back out the door you came in from and find some more cult members so you can reassure each other of your moral superiority.
Odd I found this thread, just this afternoon was thinking...

Dahan.
He had the conch shell and the big knife toss on the passenger seat. A hard left for the SUV, then stomp on the gas. He was late.
The fifty kilo pig in the trunk was fresh from the butcher shop. It should have been on the fire an hour ago, or the party wouldn't be right. That pig needed to be coming out, golden red, precisely at seven o'clock. It'd be midnight, now. They wanted it authentic, so he had to do the job.
Maybe it hadn't been too smart to take the shortcut through the Vegan Heaven subdivision. After all, it had recently incorporated as a municipality with it's own ordinances, codes, police department, even a old house converted to a city hall.
Because when he saw the flashing lights behind him, he didn't even think to hide the knife. And when he pulled over, he wasn't thinking about the laws in Vegan Heaven. Then when the officer asked him to open the trunk, he didn't even think about protesting.
A couple of hours later, behind bars in their three room jail, he was thinking about the charges.
Misdemeanor Murder.
Speeding.
Felony possession of a deadly weapon.
Could he show true remorse in front of the judge, and expect leniency? Hell, one thing at a time. First he had to get out of the rathole. It'd be four days before the judge showed back up to arraign him, so he could post bail.
Four days of eating some kind of stuff made from spoiled bean curd called vegan turkey.
