Letter: Vegetarian bullies
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Susan Elkin ('Glad to be veggie, and healthy too', 28 June) declares that the present political and social climate claims to be supportive of personal choice. But why is it that one is expected to go to extraordinary lengths to accommodate the 'personal choice' of a vegetarian guest when I have yet to meet a vegetarian who extends the same courtesy to his or her meat- eating guests?
It is this 'holier-than-thou' intolerant attitude by vegetarians that makes many people like myself, who quietly respect personal choice, bristle when constantly lectured about their 'unsocial' behaviour in being meat-eaters.
Yours faithfully,
