If you're with a group of people at a restaurant that you don't know well and someone says they're gluten free, nobody bats an eye. Even though there's a good chance they're just on a fad diet.
If someone can't eat pork due to their beliefs, same story.
If someone mentions that they're vegetarian/vegan though, guaranteed someone will ask them why and question their beliefs. They'll probably get defensive and state that they could never give up eating steak/bacon/misc flesh, as if the vegetarian is trying to take that away from them.
- grzm 8y agoI disagree that it's guaranteed, but even if that is the case, what you describe here is a far cry from Many Americans believe that vegetarianism and veganism are wrong and even offensive belief systems, Many Americans avoid "fake meat" due to their cultural beliefs, and Many Americans avoid eating things made out of plants. People may question vegetarianism and veganism while these statements can still be false.
