The early 2000s were a wild time where anyone could say, “how do you know if someone is a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.” to a room of people and you were considered a comedian. People with dietary restrictions like veganism and, more recently, gluten intolerance, are often the butt of jokes. Some people take the joke too far and mess with food, which can be dangerous.
Someone on Twitter posted a tweet joking that her dad gave a vegan a real hamburger. The tweet sparked outrage and opened a conversation about the dangers of giving someone the wrong food.
