I am vegetarian and I eat eggs. I gave up bacon, chicken wings and a good burger, I ain't giving up cheese, eggs and dairy. Vegans are insane.

Vegans just want to minimize unnecessary suffering. What’s insane about that? I would argue it’s more insane to be vegetarian. You give up food you like but still contribute to the suffering - the worst of both worlds.

My point was that you have to be a special kind of person to be a vegan. It's not easy.

A sane vegan wouldn't suggest that being a vegetarian is pointless though. That is like saying "Why take public transit rather than drive your own vehicle? You are still polluting." Being a vegetarian definitely reduces suffering and environmental impact of our food sources. Thanks for proving my point. Vegans wonder why they are ridiculed.
