This is also my observation. There seem to be two extremes: emaciated
and very obese vegans. None of them can tolerate other people and their
nutrition.

Well for some folks in a local raw vegan group I am also the "enemy". <g>
The don't want to hear that animal foods have healing properties and
are useful. They reduce the whole issue to a question of ethics and stop
further thinking at this point.
I think it is not ethically correct to be an emaciated always uncontent
person and therefore difficult to bear for others.
