From: Dragonblaze on 6 Aug 2008 12:54 How About A Side Of Hypocrisy Fast Food | Charlottesville, VA, USA Me: *preparing a gyro wrap for a customer* “Would you like cheese on it?” Customer: “Oh my God, no! I’m a VEGAN! Don’t you know what they do to cows in those horrible farms? They force them to get pregnant all the time, and then they take away their babies and kill them so we humans can steal their milk! Dairy products are cruelty! ” Me: “Okay, okay. No cheese. Moving along. What sauces would you like on that?” Customer: “Tzatziki sauce, please.” (Note: the particular brand of tzatziki we purchased included both yogurt and sour cream.) Me: “Ah, I’m afraid that’s a dairy prod–” Customer: “I DON’T CARE! PUT IT ON!” http://notalwaysright.com/page/44

Veganism is not empty symbolism. A reduction in the demand for animal products has outcomes which some people regard as good, and reasonably so. People do not become vegan so they can regard themselves as morally superior to you. Being morally superior to you is an easy achievement, there would be no need to go to that much trouble. They do it to help animals.
