not everything is manipulation and has an agenda.

its not a bad thing to believe in animals rights,
to believe in equality, to want to eat healthy food or not eat meat.
and to want to have a clean environment.

the problem is when its forced on you. when its mandate and they don't give you a choice.
or when theres a movement, that blocks you, punish you, when you don't want to comply.
when they tell you, you should eat at least 1 vegetarian meal a week.
instead of, try vegetarian food if you want. maybe you will enjoy it.

there should be respect to another persons choices. as long that person is not dangerous.

Im vegetarian and I could have a long discussion why I think its right.
but its my choice. nobody forced me. and that should be respected.

because if someone says, you are wrong to be vegetarian, I will argue about that its wrong to be carnivores. as a defense mechanism.

so its not just about one side that need to understand or be wise or comply or change. but to allow diversity.

veganism is not equal to eat vegetarian, but its also a movement, an activism.
and thats the part that we should discuss, not the choice of food.
