This probably won't help the cause, but here is what I think when I get asked these questions constantly.
1) Veganism doesn't provide all of the nutrients needed to support life. You need at least some meat in order to stay well.
I'm guess I'm a f***ing undead then.
2) Children shouldn't be fed a vegan diet, especially not babies.
Dude, you shouldn't even be allowed have children.
3) There's no overwhelming proof that a vegan diet is any healthier than a meat-based one. It's a fad diet unsupported by science.
Actually there have been studies for the past 50 years pointing this out exactly. Just because your "research" is CNN and McDonald's commercials does not mean it doesn't exist. Furthermore, there is overwhelming evidence that you are an idiot.
4) Athletes, especially bodybuilders, can’t get enough protein on a vegan diet.
A recent Olympic gold medal weightlifter was Vegan actually. Plenty of other athletes are Vegan including many best of sport ones. But you wouldn't know that since the only "sport" you watch is American football and you couldn't play that to save your life anyway.
5) Vegans are sickly looking, thin, anemic, and pale skinned.
Many gorgeous actresses who wouldn't give you the time of day are Vegan. Alicia Silverstone and Jennifer Love Hewitt for example.
6) Food animals aren't being mistreated. Modern farming methods take better care of the animals than ever before.
Then why don't you switch places with a factory farmed chicken for a day. I hope you can fit in a 1 foot square cage with no lights and birds on all sides of you. Enjoy!
7) Eating meat is no more wasteful than eating vegetables, since the earth is a closed eco-system.
The animals you eat have to eat something too. Cows, for example, eat far more than even you do on any given day (superbowl included). That means more land has to be farmed to feed the animals. That means less open land for you to golf on.
8) Plants can feel pain, too. Vegans are hypocrites.
Plants lack a central nervous system and cannot feel pain, certainly not the horrible pain I feel looking at you.
Obviously this is not directed at Sergio :^)
