You know I'm not above complaining about stuff or criticizing other people's choices. This just really sticks out to me as a bizarre fixation that many people have that's wildly out of proportion to it's actual influence.
Even in the leftiest cities in America, basically nobody's vegan and nobody likes vegans.
man do I want to hang out in your leftist American cities!
Really not what I'm seeing in and around me... perhaps we're just trailing America by some 10-15 years, and y'alls are already in the future?

I was in Germany last year and I remember going to a fancy ice cream place. Almost half the options were marked as vegan ice creams.

Basically, we're trailing Europe in socialism and our political elites wanted to catch up.
