    As a non vegan, I don’t really care too much and maybe even silently admire the commitment to a cause.

    But if your at my table I’ll do my best to serve you a great vegan meal to the best of my ability nor drone on about how I could never do without x.

        It references the clickbait-y headline that is very similar to the one in the Vice article that seemed to be the inspiration for the blog post.

        It’s also difficult to tell if your child beating is more of a false equivalency or a straw man but I’m going to go with false equivalence.
