My friend is the perfect vegan.
Doesn't eat meat. Still, goes to barbecues with us and simply brings his own food to cook. Doesn't try to force his lifestyle on us. This is a great vegan.
An annoying vegan is the one who judge people because they eat meat. I will NEVER be vegan, so get the hell out of my case. I respect your lifestyle and appreciate how you care for the well being of animals. I love animals as well, but animals eat each others. That's how nature works. I love meat too much.
So... live and let live.
