If no animals were harmed in the process I wouldn’t mind but it’s not something I really want all that much, I’m good with plant based stuff.

Wait just a hot second there. Plants are living, breathing, creatures as well. The largest organism on the planet is the aspen tree.

Why do people always pretend to suddenly be stupid when talking about veganism?

You know damn well that plants don’t experience anything, pretending to be dumb isn’t a gotcha.

I do enjoy how you went straight to insults to deflect your lack of knowledge. Then followed by implying I’m missing the same knowledge.

Just because we have yet to understand how plants experience life, does not mean that they do not. We know that plants respond to pain. We know plants respond to music.

Wife and I have been following the vegan eating habits for about 2 years now. We just don’t feel the need to proselytize about it. Yes, proselytize is the correct word. You’re trying to “save the animals because they feel pain”, we’re just trying to get in better shape in our 40s. We are not the same.
