Have you ever encountered a vegan at the meat counter?

I’m a vegan and I eat meals with loved ones who are meat eaters bc we’re all educated enough to know the world has diversity re what we eat and there can be unity in that with a little open mindedness

I was a meat eater once too and the meal I had was always appreciated because that animal died for me to enjoy it and I did enjoy it 🙏🏼

This is how I feel vegans should be buut there’s always one that gives it a bad name … same with any lifestyle choice really lol

If it happened to me I would just lol and walk away wishing em a good day 😌

No. Despite what people think, most vegans don't really care what you eat. They made a personal choice that has nothing to do with you. I don't understand the vegan hate. Are people afraid of vegans?

I have known quite a few vegans, and not one of them has been anything like the stereotype of them promulgated on SW.

No, never once. Although I've only been at a meat counter to buy something for my animal companions, for decades, I've certainly been around them countless times.

I believe this ever happening is quite rare. While I do care very much that many to most humans eat WAY more meat than they 'need' to, the kind of thing you've described is surely counter-productive to changing anyone's mind about that.

One at a landscape & garden center lectured a man who was in his early 50’s about how cruel it is to consume dairy products. He waited patiently till the lecture was over (and it was verbatim from something that had been flowing over the internet the previous week). Then he replied “ That’s why I always raise a calf and pasture-feed it and butcher it for my own meat.” That shut her up and was waiting till she came to me with her spiel but she didn’t and walked on. Calling calves “baby cows” was a big clue about her cluelessness.

If cows arnt meant to be eaten… why they made of T-bones?

Nope! I live in New England. Typically, New Englanders are rather stand offish and don't talk to strangers at the market. Unless, of course, they are from New York City. Then all bets are off...🤣🤣🤣

And if this happened to you, how would you respond?

Nope.

Yes. They were trying to buy pork pies discreetly so as not to alert their vegan mates. Somebody wasn’t giving up entirely 😂

I'm vegetarian

did you encounter this?

No, thank goodness. People rarely approach me with that kind of thing. I probably look like I wouldn’t react very well. 😳

Not in person but a lot on YouTube.

lol, no. But I have this family member that wont eat at a table if it has non vegan food at it and will joyfully lecture us all. Holidays are a real treat.

No I don't live in an affluent, upper class area of trust fund kids 🤭

No but I don’t buy meat. I have heard of this happening but I don’t know if it’s just propaganda-vegans seem to have a terrible rep

No never

Literally no one does that tf

No but being vegan myself, I have had quite a few people give me crap about my food choices like its really any of their business what I eat and why.

I only eat fruit that has already fallen from non agricultural grown trees.

When I was a checker at a grocery store 20 minutes SW of DownTown Portland, Oregon, back in 1997, the calis and east coasters were starting to arrive in in droves into the area and show their aggressive presence. A group of them ahowed up while I was on shift and staged protest in our meat department, within ten minutes about 30 cops ran through the front to the back and hauled them out while they were kicking and screaming, patrons and us employees applauding and cheering them on.
