What cult?

According to meat-eaters, Pythagoras was the main “cultist vegan.”

Then Einstein joined the same “cult”

And a whole bunch of other weirdos too: Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Tolstoy, Newton…

Just imagine,the greatest minds of humanity, the ones who pushed science and art forward,
all of them were “crazy vegans.”

Vegan Bullshit Bingo #7:

Veganism is like a religion

That sounds like an attempt at discrediting Veganism as unreasonable and irrational, just to not seriously deal with it. As Veganism is based on facts, logic and common sense, it is the exact opposite of a religion. Consuming animal products though, mostly means blindly following irrational traditions and ignoring the facts or refusing them by reasoning: "That's how we've always done it". That sounds more like a religion to me...

Yes, it's called projection.

Please cite the source where it states that einstein was vegan. pythagoras et al were vegetarian, not vegan

Where did you read that?

It is true they were not vegan, and I put in copied text of what was in a post I saw. There was no such thing as veganism until the middle of the last century, there were no vegans before that. Vegetarians were known as Pythagoreans earlier. Einstein was definitely vegetarian the last few years of his life.
