    No, you do have a problem with vegans, you’re putting an impossible standard on them that you yourself do not hold yourself to while completely glossing over the environmental harms of eating animal products over someone flying overseas once in a while. Are people not allowed to visit their families in Europe and Africa now from the US because you said so, that sounds ridiculous placing that blame only on vegans who are trying to minimize their impact.

    Having a marriage yourself doesn’t give you the right to pass judgement on how other people choose to spend their special days.

    They always attack the do-gooders.

      You don’t seem to want to understand what I write.

      I’ll try to be shorter:

      • I didn’t criticize the veganism, or the wedding itself. I criticized the article about it.

      • I dislike the glamorous articles about someone’s cool wedding. From a regular couple all the way to the royal weddings.

      • Carbon offsets are largely a lie. If I told you that I eat carbon neutral beef wouldn’t you tell me that I’m full of it? (I would be)

      • I definitely don’t set standards for anyone. Fly as much as you need. Just maybe don’t lie to yourself about it.

        Yet you’re only commenting below because they’re vegans to make yourself seem better while ignoring the effects beef does to our environment like having the Amazon cleared out for it and workers exploited in slaughterhouses.

        Don’t steel-man your argument, I see your Carnist-centric viewpoint a km away.

          Fine, I’ll avoid commenting under anything else that mentions vegans. But you should consider the possibility that you may be reading a little too much into other people’s intentions.
