LOL. That is funny - the sign, too. I'm not a fan of cross-fit. I've just forwarded the joke to a buddy of mine.

While it is true that there are a HUGE number of vegans who feel it is necessary to tell you, your friend, your friend's friend, her dog, and her dog groomer that they are vegan, the other side is just as annoying.

I ate meat for DECADES. My dad was a dairy farmer, and if not for fate, I would probably be running the Albrecht Brothers dairy farm in Wisconsin right now - but that is another story. My point is that I do NOT preach to people that they are evil scum for eating meat and consuming dairy. If I am eating on travel (as I did frequently pre-covid) I learned to eat early and alone so that I could save myself being berated by people who are not vegan telling me all fucking meal about how it makes no difference, or I'm acting superior (I just fucking order vegan food FFS!), or they know they should eat less meat, or they heard about a guy who's dick fell off because he was on a vegan diet (OK, I maybe I exaggerated that last one, but not by much). If we're at a restaurant and I'm looking at the menu of fucking course I have to tell the waiter I don't want cheese on that, or put the cream on the side, or ask if there is milk in the sauce. I don't bring it up. Other people do. Over and fucking over again. The meat is easy to avoid, but after not having milk for 5+ years, if I get some (and it has happened) it is NOT pleasant for me or anyone around me until it is out of my system.

:-) Rant done!
