Is It ‘Un-American’ to Avoid Meat? WWYD Tackles Vegan-Bashing [View all]

When a couple forces a hot dog on a young girl in a New Jersey restaurant, neighboring diners are confused and surprised; the girl’s mother had clearly said that the family does not eat meat, dairy or animal by-products.

“Everyone eats hamburgers, it’s un-American not to eat meat,” said the man, urging the girl to enjoy the hot dog.

“So she gets no protein,” added his companion.
