It wasn't escapee's first post on this thread--read up. Also not the first entry on a vegan thread on this forum.

Maybe it's just me, I don't know. It feels to me like if I went into threads where women are having trouble with their boyfriends and suggesting that the best solution isn't working on whatever specific problem they have, but instead becoming a lesbian. I have personal experience that has shown that this option is better for me, I can pull up all sorts of research about crime rates/monogamy/life span comparing the genders, etc. It's vaguely related to the topic (relationships between humans) but it's not germane to their actual question. If someone wants to know something about veganism, an answer that is "eggs and cheese and here is research showing vegans are unhealthy" is not entirely germane and somewhat disrespectful of the original poster's question.

I'll leave it from here, it was just gnawing on me, as a 98% vegan continually forced to deal with pressure from omnivores every day out in the world, that even vegan threads here reliably have someone pushing animal products.
