I'm a vegan. I've been invited to eat at steak houses in work related setting. And people know about these limits. And I'm not alone in that camp here.

I get “the talk” multiple times per week from coworkers. I don’t tell people what I think about their dietary choices if I were to eat them. That’s an endless fight that I don’t want nor seek to win.

Though I will get opinionated if they microwave fish or shellfish in the microwave that’s less than 10 feet from my head! That’s a shared space thing though and they have multiple microwave options. They’re just lazy.

I'm not a vegan, but I'd have a huge problem with that as well!
