No.
I will eat my steak while wearing a fur coat while sitting in my leather chair.
In seriousness though - No. I like burgers, and steak, and chicken, and fish entirely too much.
It's actually just as simple. Different foods go with different things. Not only that but plenty of things taste better than steak. Like ice cream. Ice cream is also very easy to eat. Let's all eat ice cream for our meals.

If a forum post is mind manipulation to you, you have bigger issues in your life to worry about than vegans
Claiming that your operating system is the best in the world because more people use it is like saying McDonalds makes the best food in the world.
If I ever go Vegan, it'll be because of health issues, not because I care about animals being eaten.

Ice cream doesn't taste better than a good steak. What can a vegan even know about a proper prime beef steak?
Ice cream tastes different. Good, but different. That is the whole point of having different tasty foods - enjoy the diversity.
And we don't see posts on forums like "why aren't people eating more ribeye, this shit is delicious", or "hey let's all wear more fur, it is cool looking and so smooth".
Being vegan is like being a Jehova witness.
Just can't keep it to yourself, can you? Eat whatever the fuck you want, and let other people eat whatever the fuck they want.
Well.. I don't eat calves. Mostly because they are to expensive. As for bees, well that's going to take a little more explaining. See bees do store honey for the winter time. However, they store an excessive amount during the summer months. With proper hive maintenance, you can keep a healthy and sustainable hive for years. What does that mean? Simply put, if you don't remove some of the honey, the bees will get up and leave to a new area or grow to rapidly that they will have a harder time looking for food. Either way, doesn't sound so bad.
Then there is the whole symbiotic relationships we have developed with animals that we have domesticated over the past few thousand years. Cows are no longer wild animals that graze freely. In fact, they can't. Okay, they probably can, but they would have a very hard time doing so. It would take them an extremely long time to go feral. Pigs on the other hand go feral in 2 weeks. That's still quicker than a cat or dog, but the point is valid. Why do they need to go feral? To be able to support and live on their own.
Cows are trained and mated, and have been, for the as long as there has been written history for certain aspects. For instance, utters. A cow will produce more milk than a calf needs on a daily basis. The cow has limited control over how much milk it can produce anymore and needs to be milked on a daily basis. Guess what happens if it doesn't? Yeah it gets sick and has a chance of dying.
So by not taking care of them, using them for what the past 10 thousand or more years have don, is kind of worse treatment to the animals.
I could go into this for days if you really wanted, but my K9s and incisors that are used to eat meat along with a dietary tract that doesn't process more vegetables is all the proof I need. Plus they are yummy!
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Why would I have to justify to you why I'm not a vegan?
There is no benefit to being vegan, so I won't be.
