We can't even talk in this community dedicated to vegans without someone coming along and meatsplaining.

I don’t make fun of vegans, everyone can make their own choice on what they can eat. But I do treat people who eat halal food the same and I don’t agree with either.
Although by comparing to halal/religious reasons for diet then are you saying veganism is akin to a religion?
Veganism is a philosophical belief and is regarded as such in the EU and UK at least, yes. Veganism isn't about food though, it's about everything touching animal rights and abuse.
It is akin to relgion in the sense that it is a moral question for the person and not a health concern.
Not sure why people get so touchy when religion is brought up.
Well, tens of thousands of people are murdered every year, and millions have been brutally tortured and murdered for religious reasons over human history. From crusades to jihads, to caste systems. So, you'll see, it is a very sensitive topic when a subset of the population thinks their religion gives them permission to exact violence upon others.
So then eating meat is a religion? With billions of animals being murdered and such…
