Of course, because your experience has been similar. Having come from a strict, religious (cult) background, if that had been my experience I would have reacted similarly. But, just like not all christians and activists go around screaming at you to convert, neither do all vegans. Vapers are also not going around screaming at smokers to start vaping.
A vegan is just a person that decided to eat a plant based diets and eliminate the use of animal products, there's no requirement to go around proselytizing. There's just crazy people everywhere giving others bad names.

And the B.S Starts.
What about the Diabetic with Gluten issued?
Or the child with an egg allergy?
Or the person that just decides they want some hings a bit healthier in there life.
People are getting seriously presumptive.
No, I don't use it nor am I anything other than the typical poor diet American.
However R.I.F. and educational

What about 'em?
I don't have a problem vegetarians/vegans in general, just like I don't have a problem with religious/spiritual people in general...It is when they try and push their way of life on others then I start to have a problem
yes well....even way back then they were not thrilled about smoking warned against it and taxed it...
King James's dislike of tobacco led him to authorize Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset, to levy an excise tax and tariff of six shillings and eight pence per pound of tobacco imported,[3] or £1 per three pounds, a large sum of money for the time. Wytnes our self at Westminster the seaventeenth Day of October. [1604]

Counterblaste to Tobacco
Have you not reason then to bee ashamed, and to forbeare this filthie noveltie, so basely grounded, so foolishly received and so grossely mistaken in the right use thereof? In your abuse thereof sinning against God, harming your selves both in persons and goods, and raking also thereby the markes and notes of vanitie upon you: by the custome thereof making your selves to be wondered at by all forraine civil Nations, and by all strangers that come among you, to be scorned and contemned. A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse.

If that is the case then why even bring it up here? didn't see anyone pushing Vegan on you in particular.......or was this just a Pro active move?
It's people who define themselves as this or that, rather than just as a person. It's the same in just about all fringe groups...
Aha!! now we see............T'was a mid-evil Curse brought on by the Kings Sorcerer.
And yet this thread turned on a Business attempting not to be Defined...
Actually, to me, that is a GOOD thing.
I hate mayonaisse. It tastes like a bunch of greasy oil that coats my tongue and mouth, sort of like custard ejuices do.
YUK!
Obviously, though, I am a person who does not enjoy greasy, oily, creamy buttery things. I can almost feel it clogging my arteries and raising my cholesterol (which I have to watch a little).
I also got food poisoning from Mayo once, so that is sorta how I got off it. The very thought of a summer picnic in the South, with food sitting out for more than 1/2 hour in the heat, and I see people bringing potato salad, macaroni salad, etc. to these picnics, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, as my experience in the emergency room (an all nighter) was pretty...um.... traumatic.
As long as the FDA doesn't touch my mustard! I love mustards, sample all the ones there are like people sample beers and wines. I love mustard with tuna fish instead of mayo. It is so good!
Gotta agree. Nothing I've ever learned would induce me to be a vegan OR vegetarian, though I have to avoid fatty-beef and eggs because I can't digest cholesterol. I don't push that avoidance on others; I fix my husband omelettes and egg sandwiches every weekend, and no vegans/vegetarians have ever tried to convert me. I think we all have to live as our reason, our conscience, our tastes, and our sense of self-preservation guides us -- I can't drink alcohol, but the vast majority of people don't turn into raging lunatics when they consume it, so they're free to enjoy it.
Now, how 'bout that BBQ chicken on the grill... it's Labor Day!

This thread wouldn't exist if they just called their food what it actually is... NOT-Mayo.....NOT-Cheese....NOT-Milk....NOT-Meat....Which makes me have to pay extra attention when shopping so I don't end up eating NOT-Cheese ever againIf that is the case then why even bring it up here? didn't see anyone pushing Vegan on you in particular.......or was this just a Pro active move?
It would be like buying a bottle of wine at Tesco, simply labeled as wine, but the reality is it is fermented fish guts...
Half the sliced prepackaged cheese in stores barely(if at all) qualifies as what I'd call cheese.So, I'll give you the Cheese argument
Mayonnaise is the best condiment on earth...
Turkey sandwiches = mayonnaise
Chicken sandwiches = mayonnaise
Ham sandwiches = mayonnaise or mustard or both
Hot dogs = mayonnaise and mustard
Hamburgers = mayonnaise and mustard
French Fries = mayonnaise based tartar sauce or ranch dressing
Ketchup sucks.
I will reluctantly accept ketchup on my fries.
But only if the supplier of said fries doesn't have the proper requisite condiments available.
I will not, however, accept fake mayonnaise.
Under any circumstances.
Ketchup is the only thing to have with meatloaf.
I'll give it that, but nothing more.

But they don't call it cheese. Kraft calls their singles a cheese food or cheese product. Just like Pringles are potato crisps, not potato chips...
which brings us back to why a vegan company felt it was necessary to name/label and promote their product as something it is not...because I am guessing most vegans do not shop for mayonnaise, but they might check it out if they saw one clearly labeled vegan unlike this one.
During the Atkins Diet low-carb craze many years back there was a rush to bring low-carb products to market.
I never would have been able to do that diet for an extended period without such products.
For me, a low-carb diet can only go on for more than a week if I have a low-carb bread.
When the craze went away, so did the products.
And I gained back much of the weight I had so easily lost.
I still do low-carb now and then.
Mostly before the holidays, for about a week, if I want to lose a quick five pounds.
But going longer than a week on a low-carb diet gets hard.
A person can only eats so much butter, cheese, and bacon before they want to puke.
That's why the good food chemists invented Smakoun. It replaces everything and can taste like anything. Sandra loves it...
