Ar e you an vegan

[Master Raiden]

I think the better question is, why is there such a negative stigma towards vegans?

Because there is a small minority of vegans who try to shove their opinions down everyone's throat.
They have a problem with non-vegans eating meat.
But I have never seen a non-vegan have a problem with vegans who don't eat meat.

If those people could be more respectful of other people's' choices, then the stigma will go away.
