Why are these people so obsessed with vegans

My US immigrant experience was pretty good save for the fact that every other person thought they were helping me discover the fucking elixer of life in the form of a burger or offering me bacon and telling me I'm missing out.

Occasionally I'd encounter the annoying ones who'd tell me vegetarian food is boring and that I was dumb for not "assimilating". Lolwut Indian vegetarian food is the best damn vegetarian food periodt.

FTFY

The thing about vegetarian and vegan food is, all the spices you can cook with work on vegetables, too! And in some ways, you have to be more creative with flavorings, because you don't get the built-in flavor boost of the fat that most meats have.

I'm not vegetarian/vegan, but I eat that way about half the year for Lent and other fasting days, and I have found that there are so many great vegetarian dishes out there. Veggies, lentils, beans, etc. absorb spices so well that you can pack tons of flavor into a dish.
