Vegans/vegetarians are often stereotyped as being dumb for caring about the way animals are treated. And for lacking the "common sense" that animal products are a natural part of the human diet. Who's to decide what's "natural" or not? This diet is so healthy for you and gives you so much energy.
People need to stop being so brainwashed by conventions and the media and realize that being a vegan/vegetarian not only helps your health, but the lives of animals, the environment, and not to mention, your finances. You save so much money. There's sooo many benefits!

But who cares about living proof, right? Ha. :3
