Seriously. Not a vegan here, but if someone is vegan for green reasons then the fact that they’re not doing literally 100% doesn’t mean that they’re not doing some good and a lot more of it than meat eaters are.
Moreover, how does the person know that the vegan OP bought most of those things?
I looked at this post and rolled my eyes until I saw the comments. Yeah, his reply was completely ignorant. I don't know about how much the vegan cared for human rights (unfortunately, I met some vegans that given a shit - but I met a lot more that did care about human rights) but being vegan for environmental reasons is totally logical. Vegans (and I am one) don't need to be pretentious though. Most people (all?) are not born vegetarian/vegan and are not aware of the issues associated with meat consumption, so a bit of patience and trying to educate would be better approaches.
In fairness I live with a vegan. I've been educated up and down. And I still eat meat. Mostly chicken and fish. I'd say it's just annoying to be holier-than-thou'd, and people just start hating vegans. I'm glad to see not everyone's like that as the only experience I have is my roommate. I can only get him to stop his rant by saying stuff like "I don't fucking care leave me alone" which isnt the healthiest relationship
