AITA for not liking vegans much?

ESH. You and the vegan dude are TA. Not all vegans are bad - just like everything else there's a vocal minority.

I personally am not vegan or vegetarian but these are my thoughts. The people who say non-vegetarians are animal abusers are way out of line. While the meat industry is in chaos (apparently), demonising non-vegetarians for it is ridiculous.

I have mad respect for vegans from an environmental perspective. My ecology professor in university was vegetarian and he said that the easiest way to reduce your carbon footprint is to avoid meat, not travel and not have kids. However, he went on to say that this is not sustainable for everyone, which is true. Not everyone can or should make these choices.

Forcing others to make the same choices as you is a terrible thing to do.
