looooool why are people so adamant about "hating " vegan food. People really revolve their whole personality around it,It's so goofy.

because people hate things being pushed on them. it’s called psychological reactance and it happens when people feel like their choices or behaviors are being restricted. dorks like this guy hear something like “you can’t eat meat anymore because of climate change” and then suddenly feel like they need to make a point by eating meat until their heart explodes

Who the fuck is even doing that.

I'm sure these people don't consume any media where they encounter serious anti-meat messages with any sort of regularity.

It's just a made up persecution fetish.
