However it came to be, many vegans are well aware that in the minds of some, there exists a stereotype that they're pushy and overly shrill about their beliefs.
Yet it's actually pretty easy to find examples of the opposite problem in which meat-eaters crash a vegan protest to troll them or secretly feed them meat for the same reason.
Although the majority of people are happy enough to let each other eat whatever they want, there are nonetheless some who seek to turn a personal dietary choice into part of some culture war.
But while it's easy enough to figure out when someone like that is overstepping their bounds, the story we're about to go over merits a little more discussion. After all, one could argue that nobody forced anyone to do anything in it.
