The Cruelty of Vegans

Vegans are those far end animal rights activist acting out of some puritan extremecy claiming to live their lives without the use of any products derived from animals (eggs, meat, leather, fur, poop fertilizer). However, in reality, actualizing this lofty ideology is, if not grossly impractical, then damn near impossible when you considered just how much animal-based materials are needed in today's most common and basic manufacturing processes. It's a nice idea; I'm not taking that away from it. It's they're just so damn arrogant about the whole thing (their determined ignorance doesn't help the matter). Well, this is for anyone who finds themselves cornered in conversation faced with a scolding about their jacket or their choice in hor d'oeuvre from one of these forgone hippies. It turns out "vegetable" may not be an accurate term when we speak of the brain-dead.
