Do vegans and vegetarians tend to be "emos" or exhibit emo-like behavior?

Question

Do you think those that don't identify as emo's really are repressed emo's?

Once again we have the very classy and erudite Sandstorms_brother giving us one of his usual penetrating replies. Nice representative for vegan & vegetarians!

Hitler would have preferred to be a vegetarian and was so in private. Occasionally he would discourage very close friends and family from eating meat. His fear was that not eating meat would be perceived as an affront to German culture. Which is quite true.

Answer 1

I don't think or feel it is true of those who have "settled into" or matured into being either vegan or vegetarian. I do think some of the "kids" and a few of the older persons are into a lot of unnecessary hand-wringing and other "emoting". You can tell by either their stridency and wild assertions or the whiney, slobbering, doomsday kind of replies, IMO.

Answer 2

Nope.. that is an insane idea.. That's like saying "I wonder if all chineese are goths or repressed goths.."

All the vegans I know are actually conservative christians.. And I am too, but I've never listened to emo type music in my life.. I'm still stuck on music of the 60's and 70';s... MAN that was some awesome music.. nothing else compares.. I occasionally listen to some modern stuff, but pop, not anything like emo... I"m much closer to being a hippy, but not all vegetarians/vegans are hippies either... for sure..

I wouldn't make a very good hippie, though, because I don't believe that free love or drugs are a good thing...


I'm not into hating life, I"m into LOVING life and enjoying it to the fullest...

And no, Hitler was not really a vegetarian.. health problems led him to eat meat only rarely, but his diet was only dictated by stomach problems, not moral or ethical beliefs..

Einstein, though, was vegetarian at the end of his life, and had believed in it for awhile.. Here are two actual quotes of Einstein:

"So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore."

an earlier letter says this : "I have always eaten animal flesh with a somewhat guilty conscience."

Answer 3

What IS "emo" exactly? I've never understood that... I've been called "emo" before by a friend because I'm very sensitive. I don't listen to "emo" music or anything like that... If I wasn't such a sensitive soul, would the pain and suffering of an animal still bother me? I'm not sure... but as I am now, I can't stand the sight or even the thought of it. So maybe I AM emo! Most of the vegetarians I know, however, don't display "emo" signs, lol.

Answer 4

No...some of us are just tree hugging hippies :-)
I think that a lot of emos are vegetarians and vegans, but a lot of people are vegetarians and just don't advertise it. HH the Dalai Lama doesn't exhibit any emo behavior and I don't think he is at risk for having any emotional disturbances. Many people are vegetarians because of the immense health benefits or the physical benefits. Most celebrities are because it is known that a vegetarian lifestyle promotes a healthy glow. Pam Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Princess Diana, and the list goes on and on. None of these people are emo. Even the original Ronald McDonald (Jeff Giuliano) was a vegetarian.

To Answer Man:
Hitler was not a vegetarian. He used vegetarianism to cure his health disorders on the advice of Wagner (whom he admired). It first worked when he was 22 with stomach issues so he tried it in '31 to help his health, but only cut back. His favorites were sausage, squab, liver dumplings, ham, and caviar....none of which are vegetarian.

Answer 5

I've been wondering what "emo" means, actually. Is it similar to punk/skater?

I'm a vegan, and I'm not emo.

I think that those who question the status quo (that eating meat and animal products is morally acceptable) are just by their very nature unique individuals and that is going to be expressed in some other ways, one of them being an emo.

Answer 6

I didn't know Gandhi was a fan of The Cure.

To Answer Man:
On May 30, 1937 The New York Times reported, "Hitler is a vegetarian, ... although he occasionally relishes a slice of ham and relieves the tediousness of his diet with such delicacies as caviar..."

Answer 7

I would just like to point out that my little clone here isn't what she says she is. She originally started out as an Ashely and then decided to 'clone" herself into me. However, take a look at her profile and you will see she has not changed it. It still has her listed as a vegan. Also, by looking at some of the Q & A I noticed "she" appears to come off as more of a man. I knew it. Busted!

Answer 8

I grew to grow to be vegan once I discovered approximately production unit farming. i think as though we are reported as to look after the Earth with which God blessed us and that i felt as though by using eating animals and animal products from unknown components, i replaced into no longer doing that. This has been seven years. I nevertheless have leather-based loafers and a wool blend sweater that i offered ahead of turning into vegan. i replaced into raised to be affordable. i offered the penny loafers at a consignment save for no greater effective than $5 ten years in the past. they're Bass shoes so as that they are of robust high quality. the indoors sole is powerful and good and that i will positioned on them with out socks. classic kind that would desire to final me something of my existence. Why would desire to I waste money on shoes if I already have a reliable pair? (beneficial, i'd desire to donate them, yet i in my view can no longer arise with the money for brand new shoes and don't see the would desire to get them.) an identical with the sweater-- that's a sweater vest with an argyle layout. returned, classic kind. I even have an angora blend sweater that I have been given from my sister-in-regulation whilst she replaced into dealing with her old outfits. i did no longer even pay for that one. i do no longer positioned on the sweaters normally as a results of fact they're hand wash basically. (Hand wash basically and dry sparkling basically are no longer functional to have with a 5- and a 2-year-old.) on the different hand, if somebody is adamant with my option to proceed to positioned on my leather-based shoes, i'm going to ask them in the event that they decide to purchase me new shoes.
