Yeah the joke doesn't really work when you flip it around because people don't actually go around telling other people that they eat meat out of the blue. And why would you? In most western societies that's just the assumed default anyway and there is no "moral highground" to claim with such a statement.

This really only happens on the internet and it's almost always to troll vegans.

Exactly. I don't identify as a "meat eater," I just eat whatever looks good. Sometimes that's vegetarian, sometimes it's vegan, and sometimes it has meat. I care about sustainability, but I don't go out of my way to avoid meat, I just try to eat less meat.

That said, if a vegan is being a troll, I'll troll them back by acting like a T. Rex. I never do this in person, only on the internet. In person, I'm more curious because I'm interested in trying new things and reducing my meat consumption.
