I think it is a wonderful thing if a person makes the choice to not eat meat. I would never think to rip on or make fun of a person who makes this choice for themselves. So, why are they always up MY ass? I am a midwest girl who loves her BBQ. I FORCE myself to eat veggies because I HATE them, so being a vegan is out of the cards for me. However, vegetarians always seem to pull the almighty card with me and get in my face about eating meat. I was at a photo shoot once, quietly reflecting during my break and eating a burger. My makeup artist for the day proceeded to walk up to me and ream me asbout eating meat the entire time I ate!
Call me crazy, but you would think that if a person wanted you to understand their cause, they would be KIND to you..informative, etc. Nope, I have never got that from a vegan. I always get the nut jobs. It almost reminds me of terrorists! This is one of the many reasons I cannot support PETA. I am not into Fear tactics. I do not believe it makes you or your cause any better, in fact, it turns most people off from even wanting to listen to you. Recently it has been going around that the beautiful Pam Anderson ripped into Jessica Simpson for wearing "Real girls eat Meat" shirt. She called her a BITCH and a WHORE. Now I love Pam, but if she wanted to help bring Jessica to "the other side" perhaps she should have showed some grace and offered some useful knowledge to Jessica instead? There is nothing that upsets me more than when two women I have spent years drooling over are at arms. I think they should have sex and make up....in front of me.
Anyway, why does this happen? Why do people who would probably want more people to JOIN thir cause proceed in pushing people away with their rants? Again, I respect people who make the decision to not eat meat. I can't do it. The watery stinky poop was enough to turn me off from it after only trying it for 2 weeks. I bruised everywhere, and did NOT look healthy. That's me. Kudos to those who can do it, though. Why do I get torn apart for making the choice to eat meat? I love animals too, and because I do, I also respect Mother Natrure and the food chain. Since the dawn of man we have hunted and gathered. It has been PROVEN that societies in the past who had a meat based diet (less carbs, veggies) had BETTER teeth. Carbs and veggies actually cause decay! There are great arguements to both sides, but I am not hear to argue. I am hear asking one question.....If you want someone to believe what you do and follow your lead...why would you beat them up first? It makes people unsympathetic to your cause.
What are your thoughts, guys?

EDITED NOYE: After reading a bunch of the responses here, from meat eaters and vegans alike...I have come to a conclusion. There are assholes on both sides. STOP BEING ASSHOLES!
