Stupid Things Omnivores Say Roundup
Omnivores have all kinds of questions and excuses. Everything from “But the vegans I’ve met are mean, so I can’t be vegan” to “But animals taste good.”
Here’s a collection of some common omni questions and excuses. It’s similar to a vegan FAQ, but not quite.
Click on the links to find the answers (or answer the omnis yourself in the comments below):
- “Where Do You Get Your Protein?”
- “But we’re smarter than animals.”.
- “Where Do You Draw The Line? Insects? Plants? Bacteria?“
- “Cattle Will Go Extinct If We Don’t Eat Them”
- “My Ancestors Ate Meat So I Should Too”
- “Worry About Human Rights, Not Animal Rights”
- “My Taste Buds Overpower My Moral Intuition”
- “You are a hypocrite unless you combine your veganism with [fill in the blank]“
- “Vegans are [fill in the blank], so I won’t be vegan.”
- “But Kids Won’t Eat Veggies”
omg, i’ve heard a good number of those. it seems that anytime my friends hear something that sounds PETA-ish or vegan-ish, they’ve already rejected it in their minds. but at the same time, i think we need to answer these questions with an open mind and with patience, to hopefully slowly get the point across. though i completely understand the obstinate ppl who refuse to change.
Great collection of lack of knowledge about veganism.
It’s strange how some people have such strange “hate” towards vegans. It’s our choice, let us enjoy it.
