As vegans it is our duty to protect the agnostic slaughter-sponsoring. businesses that provide vegan options so we can brunch in the inner city and maintain the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. It gives me indigestion to hear these preachy, superior, elitist activists bang on about slaughter, cruelty and mutilation. What does that have to do with me? It's enough to stop me being vegan. No wonder people hate vegans. It's got nothing to do with them having a defensive reaction to being reminded of the dissonance between their values and their behaviour. Enough, I say!
