We know that diet plays a role in our mood so it is not unreasonable to conjecture about the role that a vegan diet may have play in the development of a personality and philosophy based on hate. Clearly it can't be the only factor or all vegans would be nazis, which they are not. But hatred begets hatred. People can choose to eat a vegan diet and that is perfectly OK. Who am I to judge? It's when they profess moral superiority that my hackles are raised or scientific certainty. Kindness and openness should go both ways, meat eaters towards vegans and vegans towards meat eaters. Maybe if we listened to each other rather than find reasons to condemn each other we could all come to a better understanding and acceptance of why people make the choices they make. This does not mean we should accept professions of hatred.
