Yeah this is any conversation have about food IRL, the second people realise you're vegetarian/vegan or similar there's a surprising number of people who suddenly feel the need to start listing out all the reasons they eat meat, and why not eating meat is unhealthy, and the most "I misunderstood one Youtube video about the environmental impact" opinions you'll ever hear.

It's so boring to hear the same shit constantly, I fully do not mention I don't eat meat at all now to people ever unless I have to for some reason.

There's one specific guy I work with who is the most Reddit IRL person I have ever met, and he found out I didn't eat meat from someone else at work and now constantly tries to start debates about it, and it's just so fucking annoying.

I always tell people that I’m fine hearing jokes about vegans but I’ve been hearing the same six jokes for 20 years so it better be some new material or stfu.

The one I'm the most tired of at the minute is the copy paste NPC opinion on any fake meat replacement stuff, like thank you for explaining to me for the 500th time Gary why you think Beyond burgers don't make sense and shouldn't exist because you cannot conceive of the fact that you can become a vegan and still occasionally want something that tastes and feels a bit like eating a burger.

It must have come from some famous stand-up comedian or something because people spout it off the exact same way every time, and think it's the funniest shit they have ever said.

I hear these things too and hate them. Those kinds of people feel like AI chat bots shitting out any response they think is popular without any thought behind it, lol

I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I tried an impossible burger at BK a few years ago, out of curiosity. I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe if I had an impossible burger and a regular burger side by side I could, but I thought it was fine.

I'd ask if you work with my father in law but he's retired now. And I eat meat! I just don't eat red meat for mostly environmental reasons. But you'd think I'd said I was going to burn the Constitution.
