It can be low effort, passive-aggressive, insulting or derogatory towards your convictions.

      I’m vegan and the number of people who can’t figure out “no animal products” is astounding. I’m so tired of “no eggs? No dairy?” like yes bitch, I don’t fuck with animals.

      People act like it’s rocket science.

        People act like it’s rocket science.

        There’s always going to be a question as to where you draw the line. For example, is it okay to eat figs, even though they’re pollinated by wasps that end up in them? Is it okay to eat plants grown using animal products as fertilizer? Is it okay to eat cultured meat that is many generations removed from a living animal, such that none of the material present now was part of the living animal? How about things in the animal kingdom, but outside the chordates? The ones you’d need a microscope to see? Is honey okay to eat?

        There’s also the issue that other people that call themselves vegan will disagree with you on what all counts.

          How could I forget? It always blows people’s minds that I don’t eat fish, but before I was vegan I never liked fish anyway but no one had a problem with it until I went vegan.

        To be fair, the person you’re responded to said “vegetarian” not “vegan.” But yes, otherwise, it isn’t rocket science. My vegan boys are big fans of seitan.

      Are you full vegan or just vegetarian?

      If it’s for Ouback Steakhouse, you could always have a Bloomin Onion if you’re okay with eggs and milk.

      But otherwise, yeah, not much else on the menu for ya.

        Don’t forget salad. Outback is largely one of the worst if you’re vegetarian unfortunately. Most steakhouses at least have a few vegetable sides and can make a meal out of them.
