Why are vegetarians hated?

Ah, the strawman. If you can't respond with an actual argument, just stop talking.

That is literally what you just said. You expect that causing emotional distress in someone makes them less likely to cause emotional distress in others. It displays your attempted claim to the moral high ground.

I disagree with your philosophy. I think that causing negativity in the life of another in an attempt to force them to accept your interpretation of what is "right and wrong" is ineffective, inefficient and just generally the wrong way to go about things. I think it's a much better option to use logic, reason and compassion in an attempt to have another consider your viewpoint.

Again I reiterate that what you said displays a claim to a morally superior high ground, that you are superior to others and that if they don't believe what you believe then they need to be punished for it. That's not very nice is it?

You don't want to know how they threat cows to get milk for that b12 rich cheese ;D

[Jalpha]

Dairy farming and egg production is right up there with being as inhumane as factory farmed pigs. It's not the killing part that I disagree with. In my country at least ending the animals life is as humane as possible. It's a life spent in abysmal conditions that I disagree with.

Unfortunately there is no humane milk alternative (and don't mention soy, that stuff gives you manboobs).

In other words, we don't need to eat meat to be healthy.

Enjoy your B12 deficiency.

a 3 second google search told me this:

If it's lying, then my bad, but I can't be bothered to make further investigation, since I don't particularly care about alternative ways to get the battleaxe of the twelfth bay vitamin.

Both are animal products, derived from the same industry vegetarians rebel against. While some vegetarians abstain only from eating the meat itself, others also consider consuming such products to be immoral.

Non-animal sources of B12 (excluding medication) are few, obscure and not commonly available.

Since when is morality the main concern when making life decisions?

How would one convince Hitler he was wrong?
In his mind he was the saviour of the German people. A kind of messiah.

Hitler really cared about animals.
He set up very strict laws about how you should take care of animals etc.
So if somone wants to care about animals, (s)he is hitler.
So all vegans are hitlers.

In other words, we don't need to eat meat to be healthy.

Enjoy your B12 deficiency.

You know what happens to those cows and chickens after they have laid eggs and produced milk?
They will be slaughtered painfully and eaten inside a buger.

Vegetarian and Vegan is dumb unless you have a legit medical condition.

Yeah looks like noone is going to get turned vegetarian in this thread. Rejoice, activists of animal pain and suffering. Those grass-munchers got beet at their own field!

Seriously, though, you delve so deep into science, history and whatnot about human nature, while the answer is still in plain sight. A vegetarian who genuinely cares about animals doesn't have the compulsive need to impose his views on others. A person who feels that need is not a vegetarian. A teenage hipster wannabe slash keyboard warrior, maybe. The point is not doing the right thing, but telling everyone how he's right and all who disagree are wrong. That answers the OP's question, by the way.
