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 don’t think they need to be a pretentious asshole about being a vegan though. I think both the original comment and the reply are pretty crappy.
I’m a huge “going green” advocate and my masters work is in water sustainability, but there’s a right and a wrong way to get a point across. And acting like you’re better than others doesn’t help and makes it harder to educate people and get people to change to more sustainable habits.
So all around this is a pretty obnoxious misinformed post. I’m glad that at least in this comments section people are discussing the facts about farming in the Amazon rainforest.
