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.
