The purpose of the study was to discover if vegans and vegetarians are treated differently because of their eating lifestyle. In the past, literature has focused on microaggressions related to race, sexual orientation, gender, class differences, and disabilities. However, the findings in this study contribute to the theoretical framework of microaggressions as to how they apply to vegans and vegetarians. An interpretative phenomenological study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to explore vegans' and vegetarians' experience of microaggressions. Eleven participants who were either vegan or vegetarian provided examples of verbiage received from carnivores since they adopted the eating lifestyle. Participants' ages ranged from 26 to 77 years. They identified as African American, Caucasian, biracial: Chinese and Vietnamese; Italian and German, and one declined to state racial identity. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis, which revealed nine themes. These include social and cultural norms determine acceptance of veganism or vegetarianism, self stigma: a sense of how carnivores view vegans and vegetarians as different, insensitive comments and questions, bullying behavior directed toward vegans or vegetarians, and vegans and vegetarians tolerate criticism from carnivores. The remaining themes are vegans and vegetarians accept carnivores' eating preferences, vegans and vegetarians defend eating lifestyle, internalized oppression to avoid confrontation, and reasons vegans and vegetarians believe carnivores criticize their eating lifestyle. The results indicate vegans and vegetarians often receive microaggressive comments and questions from carnivores about their choice to practice their eating lifestyle. These were revealed as microassaults and microinsults used to intimidate and demean the vegan's or vegetarian's character. In addition, it was discovered some vegans and vegetarians do not want to engage in conversation about their eating lifestyle in order to prevent further conflict. Furthermore, they practice their eating lifestyle for ethical, environmental, spiritual, and health reasons, but often receive criticism for their commitment to either veganism or vegetarianism.
