Lukas Finnveden comments on Is there a standard discussion of vegetarianism/​veganism?

[Lukas Finnveden]

There’s still a stigma to being vegan, so people are less likely to want to be friends with you, and your networking skills will suffer.

Note that the opposite can also be true, especially if your plan to improve the world involves engaging with the animal rights community, or other people who care about animals.
