I’m from Texas. Total opposite experience. Vegans and vegetarians are rare pokemons here.

  One of my coworkers was a vegetarian and went on a business trip to Texas. His associates there took him out for dinner at a steakhouse. After looking over the menu, he asked the waitress, "Do you have anything without meat in it?" She thought for a moment and then cheerfully replied, "We have chicken!"

    When I was in Switzerland I ordered a vegetarian dish at a restaurant, and it came with bacon in. "I think there's been a mistake. There's bacon in my vegetarian meal." "Oh, that's not a mistake. Bacon isn't meat, we think of it as a garnish." This happened in two places, one of them the canteen at my workplace.

      Lol yeah. I figure those are common experiences anywhere ppl take their bbq so serious. That’s why I do buy the idea that there’s a hard cap on the market size. I think all beers and wines tastes the exact same shade of gross. When I say this, most ppl think I’m being an edge lord or I’m just a stupid asshole. it’s practically attempted murder! “MONSTER!” “HOW DARE YOU?!” As a Texan, just the thought of fake meat gives me indigestion. Im nauseous just writing this. My stomach won’t stop gurgling. My morning is in ruins. I do believe in some states of the US it was more popular, but I don’t think it’s everywhere. I bet you that as per usual it’s the red-blue divide.
