One of these cultures has normalised vegan and vegetarianism for centuries, the other is trying to wean a meat-obsessed population

As someone who works in a grocery store, the worst fucking people are the ones who go up to the deli counter and yell at the clerks, demanding the "bloodiest* roast beef they've got. That or the spiciest turkey, or whatever.

Dudes who's entire sense of self is invested in eating meat. Easily the most annoying kind of guy I encounter in my daily life.

This might sound silly. But maybe they enjoy the taste of rare roast beef? Before this "make meat seem like it's not dead animal" trend, the rule used to be anything over medium was overcooked for most meats. For some odd reason (actually, not odd. freaking additives) a lot of roast beef is sold medium-well. Which is tasteless enough to make someone go vegan!

I don't understand "yell at the clerks". I've never seen that. But I agree it's rude. Just **not **because they are buying meat.
