    By definition contrarian is somebody who opposes or rejects popular opinion. So yes by definition being vegan is contrarian lmfao. Not saying I have any issues with it there’s nothing wrong with being vegan I’m just saying it is by definition contrarian to be vegan. And nothing wrong with being contrarian either! Judging by the votes on my original comment, it appears that me stating veganism is contrarian was in fact a contrarian opinion lmfao. I regularly have vegetarian and vegan meals, and I love my meat. Hopefully people didn’t get the wrong idea about my opinions on veganism as there are no negative ones from me …

      As I said, Iagreed with your initial comment, but also the previous one. And I don’t think the word contrarian is very well applicable to this situation, because it is not about opinions as much as it is about personal preferences. I wouldn’t call it contrarian that I like brussel sprouts when many people do not…
