LOADINGERROR LOADING

Perhaps no diet is subject to as much mocking as veganism.

Abstaining from animal products can be a challenge, but many vegans wear their identity like a badge of honor. After all, it takes work to cut meat and dairy out of your diet, and there are many health and environmental benefits if you do.

We’ve rounded up 27 funny tweets about living that vegan life. Enjoy!
