Hmmm, I saw deeper into the posts I read. Seemed like some people agreed that
everyone can do "better" at something, and some people thought that they were
doing pretty well in most of the areas "anonymous" picked on.

I thought it was obvious that 'anonymous' had an axe to grind regarding
certain individuals, and also found it odd that she/he thought we needed to
veganize. If you find merit in critiques of such a broad sweeping nature,
than great! I find fingerpointing useless.
Prefer not to preach. Too busy doing life!
