Grossed out

By stop eating animals - 17/10/2023 15:00

Today, a barbecue joint opened near my apartment, close enough that I can smell the kitchen exhaust. I'm a vegan activist, so smelling animals being burned is a serious trauma for me. Now I either have to either move or constantly feel sick and depressed. FML

First off, you need to grow the hell up. Secondly, this is a traumatic experience for you? Wow, I don't even feel a bit sorry for you.

OP, people are dying in wars and this is “trauma” to you? Get a grip… Move if you don’t like the smell but this is not exactly fitting of the word “trauma”.

Either move or stop whining. You obviously don't know the definition of trauma, look it up.

Lame, how traumatic. Move and hopefully be followed by kitchen exhaust fumes. I love the smell of bacon in the morning!

Soooo, I just want an update on what happened in your past that makes it a traumatic experience? Did you have a K5 field trip to the farm and you saw Bessie The Cow get put down or something?

Veganism... the ultimate first-world arrogance.

Quite a few Third world countries have a long tradition of not eating meat. And it is true that we eat way too much meat and that way too many animals are mistreated in the process. But indeed speaking of a trauma may be an overstatement.

Seriously you think this is a trauma for you? You need to grow the **** up and stop being so entitled. People are starting to death or dying in wars or dying in horrible diseases but stop the press you have to fell the smell of bbq. You are the kind of person that makes all vegans look bad, and your life is to good since you need to invent problems in your life. I have many rational vegan friends that simply tell me they dont wanna eat meat some for moral reasons other for health reasons but they all say its a choice they can make since they have that opportunity since life in the western world is so good, when questioned If they would eat meat in a survival situation say war or whatever they all said something along the line ”Sure this is a choice now since i can but If i need to eat meat ill eat meat om not stupid”. So grow up or move to another place where your fragile emotions wont risk being hurt.

If it makes you feel any better, the animals don't feel their flesh being burned over the fire, so they don't get cooked in vain. But in all seriousness, how easy did your upbringing have to be if the smell of cooked meat is traumatizing to you? I'm usually not one to tell people to suck it up and deal with it, but this is one exception. Suck it up and deal with it. The world doesn't revolve around you nor will it adapt to meet your personal needs. If you want to stop feeling sick and depressed from the smell of "animals being burned", then learn how to cope with that smell whether you like it or not.
