Dictionary.com

Pretentious: Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
Obnoxious: Annoying or objectionable due to being a showoff or attracting undue attention to oneself
Drivel: Childish, silly, or meaningless talk or thinking

I don't understand how "I" is pretentious: it's not calling individuals who aren't vegans out for not being vegans or claiming to be superior to those who aren't vegans.
It's also not obnoxious: the poem/song is posted in a collection of a vegan songwriter's works, it's not attempting to be self-righteous or attract attention to the songwriter in an annoying manner.

Funny in a hating animals and thinking that you're superior to vegans sort of way, right?
Is this statement not obnoxious, pretentious, and childish?
