I get into conversations like this a lot — My niece, 2024: "You've been a vegetarian for 26 years, Aunt Fudgie, but you're not obnoxious about it." Me: "And how many vegetarians have you ever met?" Niece: Er . . . . None." Me: So where did this notion come from?" Niece: "Well . . . . movies and tv." How absurdly and offensively are stereotyped! I've been on a peaceful protest ever since.
