    I know a handful of vegans who don’t make annoying people their one personality trait.

    Again, in a normal conversation, warning your host about your allergies or food preferences is fine. If vegans could keep it at that it’d be great

    Let me put it this way:

    Nobody ever went out of their way to annoy me for eating a salad.

      Exactly. I didn’t realize a large chunk of my coworkers were vegan until we were about to order a company lunch. I did realize one of my remote coworkers was vegan because she mentioned it all the time.

      There’s a lot of truth to the jokes about vegans self-announcing when food isn’t being discussed at all. The same goes for Arch users, atheists, and other passionate groups.
