I want to believe the majority of these comments are just trolls
He obviously didn't try hard enough, everyone knows if you cook vegan recipes with enough skill and passion the meat just appears out of thin air.
Interestingly enough that might still be vegan
How do you know a meat eater? They will tell you and be pissy about it.
Hey, that's my joke
And they'll butt into any conversation with the type of meat they use. "I'm having dinner tonight",
"I ~~use arch~~ eat beef, btw"
I think it's funny that vegans are stereotyped as preachy and annoying when approximately 99% of trucks in my city have a front license plate that says EAT BEEF
Found the gatherer.
Is that a strange vegan comeback? For the entire history of civilization, people were eating meat when given a choice. It's vegans/vegetarians who made not eating meat a point and a thing. And while I understand why people make that choice, some of them spend way too much time advertising their way of life.

This is the sort of thing you think is true because you saw it in cartoons growing up, but if you actually consider it honestly, I think you'll find your source is, "I bet!"

Yes, but my message is an answer to someone else who raised the topic. And again, nothing against other people's preferences, I'm only against making a thing out of them. Eating meat is not a thing, it's "old and boring*
You'd think, but there's lot of people that make eating meat a thing all right.
I never got bothered for eating meat, but I got approached several times by complete strangers while getting veg food because they HAD to mock me, convince me or explain nutrition to me.
Every group has their fanatics.
Are you sure on that?
Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Manichaeists, Monasticism etc might want a word.
Maybe also bear in mind it's perhaps the industrial revolution and massive scale animal abuse that's led to the average pleb expecting daily meat instead of daily bread.

Marrying, among other things, children is a large, normalized part of human history, but that doesn't make it right. Eating meat when you can choose not to is morally wrong. Period.
This is so strange to me, because everyone I’ve talked to agrees in theory but has this disconnect when it comes to reality.
Thought experiment: if I’ll give you a cookie, but only if you kick a dog, would you do it?
I’d bet nearly everybody would say fuck no, and probably be at least a little pissed even to be asked. Somehow “making an animal suffer to have a food you enjoy” is wrong to everybody at this personal level, but add enough steps in between the cause and effect and suddenly people are happy to have animals abused and then slaughtered for them to enjoy their meals. Just looking at the response to your comment (6 upvotes and 5 down atm) shows this in action - to anyone disagreeing with @the_q’s point, do you also think kicking a dog for a cookie is okay in my hypothetical? If not, where do you draw the line?
Its generally frowned upon, but if you can catch a vegan...
I feel like this was a joke that the second person didn’t get.
What's the joke?
Bacon .... you can add bacon to any recipe to give it a meat taste
Fun fact, bacon bits are typically soy unless specified.
Okay? They were talking about bacon, not bits.
Weirdly hostile reply, but OK.
Not really. Maybe you're just having a bad day.
Well alright then.
