Regarding your last paragraph: that's unrelated. There are also lots of insufferably vocal meat eaters who feel personally attacked when someone else doesn't religiously stuff themselves with meat every meal.

    I know zero (0) vocal vegans but 3 meat eaters who make a point on hating vegans and sometimes make it sound like they eat extra meat to spite vegans.

    One of them once said to me a restaurant can only be good if it has no vegetarian options.

    Yeah, I usually don't say anything, unless it's unaoidable and then I usually just say I don't eat all that much meat.

    Most will leave it at that, but I'll happily answer. I don't really want to yuck people's yums, and the food industry is a bit of a special interest of mine.

    Advertising is one hell of a drug. Everybody running around eating bacon and butter, and beef tallow, and haven't had a gram of fiber, getting colon cancer at forty.

    Candidly, I think your vocal vegan is like your radical feminist, or social justice warrior, or diversity hire: mostly made up.

    I live in Bavaria. There are multiple politicians who don't get tired to performatively eat sausages and try to make laws that mandate calling oat milk “oat drink” and vegan burgers/schnitzel/… anything else. As if anyone would ever get confused by that. There's a common joke that they should rename “scouring milk” to “scouring drink” otherwise people get confused!!!

    The milk thing though. If it didn't come from a mammal it isn't milk, it's a milk substitute. But milk of magnesia is another traditional thing which isn't milk
