Went over the eldest daughter's yesterday (she's 26) to drop off Christmas food aid box and pressies. She made a cup of tea but said she only had oat milk (whatever that is). I took a few sips and boldly pronounced that it tasted gash and that I couldn't drink it.
Her partner, was laughing heartily as I ranted for a few minutes about her being a tree-hugging, liberal, veggie and that she should get some proper cows milk in and pour that oattie filth down the sink. Her poor partner, who is a meat eating omnivore like me suffers this on a daily basis. There's plenty of man food in the food aid parcel I assured him, much to my daughter's disdain.
We had a philosophical debate, well it was more a very un-PC rant on my side, for fun, but basically the long and short of it she's worried about the farm cows farting and the damage the methane is doing to the atmosphere.
Cows farting? FFS.

There is almost nothing---nothing---more tedious than omnivores getting on their soapbox and complaining about what she chooses to (not) eat.
There's a myth that vegans are preachy. Based on my life experience I can tell you its total bollocks. Meat-eaters are far, far, far more in-your-face about who chooses to eat what. Change the bloody record.
The subject doesn't really come up, it's just food.
Farts are fantastic!! A never ending source of amusement, pungent pleasure bombs.
Even when directly asked about the how/why, they tend to be of the mindset of 'well, this is what I do, but it is a personal choice etc...'
They go out of their way to be accommodating when they come here for meals but so do we.

My experience is in retail though, where even the vegetarians I work with hate vegetarians.
I get ranted at once or twice a month by vegans or vegetarians about how they're being discriminated against because we don't stock so-and-so, and they're always angry and unfailingly rude.
I really don't care what anyone chooses to avoid eating, but don't call it discrimination - if you put obstacles in your own way don't scream in my face demanding I help you around them.
IIRC Qi said that cows burping is much worse than the farting.

Many meat eaters label vegans/vegetarians as wusses yet ironically they dont have the stomach to watch a video like this (UK farm) and contemplate their own dietary choices.
