See pt Incidentally, vegetarians find vegans annoying too, because they do understand, to some extent, that consuming animal excretions is rather nonsensical.

@Remke lol we do eat meat and dairy incidentally, so I would not call myself a preachy vegan by any stretch of the definition, but in a discord server I once commented on someone showing off their sausage haul for the month 'wow that's at least more than double the yearly meat consumption of our family of five' and got kicked off the server for being, and I quote, 'a judgmental and preachy vegan'

@Remke I am thinking that the same cognitive dissonance explains why so many people my age who have been driving cars all their lives but who also helped create the US environmental movement hate bicyclists. (Disclaimer: I own a car and ride my bike.)

@Remke yeah, this seems to be a very common pattern with other topics as well

@Remke oh you can just live great with the cognitive dissonance. Just accept that you are doing something wrong if you don't want to stop and let the vegetarians and vegans do their thing accepting that they, in this regard, do better than you. It's called ambiguity tolerance. Oh and you are still right, just stop eating meat.
