Hey non-vegan, fun fact: No one really cares when you tell them eating plants are more efficient.

Common responses include "bAc0Nnnnnn!" and "I'm gonna eat two times the amount of meat to make your efforts useless".

Amazing strawman at the end there.

Hi friend, I propose you try an experiment: post a small handful of anonymous comments on the Internet, try to make them benign as possible but casually slip in an acknowledgement that you are vegan. Something along the lines of "God that recipe looks amazing, but I think I might swap out the beef broth for veggie broth as I am vegan" like I said the point of this experiment is to say something completely as benign and inoffensive as possible.

Once you post sit back and wait for the responses to roll in. You will likely find that while not every time, it is incredibly common for people to send you pictures of bacon, and an abundant of angry responses to the mere offhand mention of the word.

I sincerely wish it was a straw man fallacy, but it unfortunately is a exceedingly common response to the word.

It really isn't. I know plenty of anti-vegans who react in that manner.

hey non vegan vegan fun fact, you would be surprised at the sheer amount of consumption and productive the livestock sector of agriculture creates.

Likewise you could easily just respond to the last line with "you can't take away my gas stove, i'm just going to burn gas lamps in my home now" and get a little bit eepy and sleepy due to all the buildup of combustion products inside your home.
