Guess you had bad encounters with these people?

Most people on the internet, myself included, are not health experts. We're not dieticians, physicists, etc, and we never claim to be experts. We can only find sources written by other people who are experts, sources that may or may not be biased and thus require some level of critical thinking to make sure they're not stretching the truth or leaving out important information.

To start with, you initially didn't cite any sources in either post, and when I asked for some, your reply linked a vegan activist's YouTube video and a pro-vegan documentary, which aren't exactly the most two-sided or credible, or at least the YouTuber's wasn't, You should be able to look as many sources as you can without needing to cherry-pick the ones that fit any specific narrative.

You try to paint non-vegans as the "overestimating idiot who doesn't know shit" and assume the "expert with 20 years of experience" is not going to dismiss a just-as-inexperienced vegan the same way.
Does this bias not also affect vegans as well? What about people who tried veganism, but later decided to switch back? Are they also incompetent and overestimate their knowledge on the subject?

Your point "eggs bad because cholesterol bad", while technically correct in many ways, is misleading.
Cholesterol is OK. You need it to produce vitamin D, produce hormones like testosterone. Yes, too much of it can lead to heart problems, but the recommended daily intake for cholesterol is 300mg, and 1 egg is about 180mg, or just over half. You should be fine with just one per day.

It's OK if you choose to go vegan or vegetarian, but most people who do choose often end up quitting for various reasons, whether it be dissatisfaction with or inability to afford 'vegan alternatives', a lack of motivation, or they just don't want to be associated with any specific group or agenda.

If you're worried about your health/cholesterol, just eat less eggs and meat in general, and just moderate your daily intake.

Your post reads exactly as how you described those overconfident non-vegans.

@Ivanbg2003 Feel for ya.Yeah there are peeps that are so bad you just cannot help but think the rest of them are exactly like that.Dont let these fools paint your perception of them though,they don´t speak for them.
I get that its not fair for them to tell you what you can and cannot eat but are you sure they just have good intentions but are too pushy about it instead of just thinking themselves better than others because of their diet?
Just to make things clear i am a 100% meat lover.Just to put my cards on the table here.
