Not sure if anybody here has a friend, or knows anybody like this. A friend of mine that I went to high school with, now works at the same store with me. However, he has changed his diet and is now a Vegan. A person who doesn't eat, meat, eggs, or milk, etc. However, each time I eat something for lunch he keeps bugging me, telling me about how bad my diet is and keeps pushing his Vegan ways on me. I would tell him off, but I have seen and read Scott Pilgrim, and don't want to be thrown through walls. Anybody experience this problem?
Annoying Vegan Friend.
Actually the Vegan diet has been scientifically proven to be unhealthy in fact you can go to jail for child neglect for putting children on a Vegan diet because it prevents them from getting vital nutrients that they need to live
Well, my friend is a skinny as pole. He walks and runs to work a lot which is like three miles. We ask him why, he says he needs to lose weight.Actually the Vegan diet has been scientifically proven to be unhealthy in fact you can go to jail for child neglect for putting children on a Vegan diet because it prevents them from getting vital nutrients that they need to live
It's kinda screwed up how people who've "seen the light" always want to push it on everybody else.
I wonder how he'd like it if your were always trying to get him to eat a piece of chicken or a steak or some bacon.
Maybe you could start drinking milk whenever you're around this friend and advocate it's health benefits in a effort to pressure him to partake of the 'one, true, healthy way." Then when he gets fed up at you pushing milk on him, you cold point out that's how it feels to have his vegan sensitivities/rules/habits pushed on you.

Me: -Eating fried chicken.:-
Friend: You know you're going to die if you keep eating that stuff.
Me: At least I will die happy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this is something they should show to elementary students on the subject of "tolerance"
I had this one vegan prick(not calling all vegans pricks, don't misread this) get all snotty and judgmental on me because I was eating a cheeseburger around him. I almost went the Deadpool route and rammed it down his throat, but instead asked him how low his protein was. Didn't look back to see if it worked or not, but it was damn funny in my head.
Also, my Biology teacher's son was a vegan, and he nearly passed out on a hike because of a major protein deficiency.
Well, he asked if he could come over for Thanksgiving.@OmegaDynasty: Start pushing a high protein meat filled diet on him.
Told him he could, but there would be nothing he could eat.
Said if he was a vegetarian then he would be fine, but since his Vegan..most of the stuff that doesn't have meat has milk, and eggs.
I have absolutely nothing against vegans until they start to spout off their philosophies onto the rest of us. But then that can go for just about any person who advocates any "ism". Sadly this reminds me one time of an incident I had at my college. I was standing in line for a sandwich place and wanted to buy a sandwich. And I called off some kinda "veggie sandwich" platter just because I was on a diet at the time and was hungry and didn't want something heavily calorie ridden to munch on. Woman from afar smiles at me and asked if I was a vegan and I politely said "No, I'm just a real fan of the sandwich." Deep down in my mind I was soooo ready to tell her "Here's your sign" because I was ready to say "Lady, look at my stomach and body here. Do I LOOK like I would be a vegan with this type of body shape?"
Yeah, I am a vegetarian, and I understand your predicament. Personally, I believe it is each to their own. I don't think Vegans/Vegetarians should push their beliefs on others, and vice versa.
However - I have had meat eaters do the same and made me try to eat meat - and make fun of me if I said no. I am not childish enough to take actual offence but either way it is not a good thing to do to others.
The same with pushing religion or other beliefs on people.
I generally stay away from vegans for this reason. Most vegetarians aren't pushy with their beliefs and they generally don't call me a murderer for enjoying meat but vegans I've found to be as ignorant and close-minded as the most ravenous creationists. I won't argue the health reasons because I'm not familar with them and I'm not the right person to be doling out health advice, but I will argue that I have the right to enjoy whatever I want when I eat, provided it isn't people of course.
It's always entertaining how those hardcore alternative Vegan people condemn me for being a faithful Christian and accuse me of everything wrong the church ever did (mind you, the church not myself), accuse me of being intolerant and forcing my believes on them just for stating that I believe in the Christian god and start ranting about how liberal and tolerant they are while telling me that living Vegan is the only right way to live and that I should profundly change my life. Speak of a holier than thou attitude. lol

Iam straight edge like CM Punk, i do belive dont use drugs, alcohol, tobacco and dont have sex wih strangers(Even when rumors says, Punk likes women to much for his own good, even the married ones with other wrestlers), make me better that most of people.
Still, i dont belive i should go to and try to change them into my ideas.
I mean, even as a follower of the Jediism, i dont belive i know everything and that i am always rigth.
Also, the body needs meat, what means, they hurt their own body.

Just tell him that humans are not evolved to be Vegans so really his diet isn't good for him either.
I have a friend that's some what like that. Though he usually does it on purpose to get a laugh out of it by annoying the people on the lunch table.
@miguel13: Lmao!
@danhimself: he made humans out of meat as well....just sayin.
