The fact that 5 kids knew well enough about the OP’s vegan status to use them as an example meant that the person probably never shut up about it.

There’s always a person who can’t just take the joke

Vegans bad, we get it. How dare they to live according to their moral beliefs

Living to their beliefs is not a problem. Them trying to impose their beliefs however… I still remember a guy who described my meal as disgusting and mumbled something about murder.

It’s funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it’s automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it’s a symptom of their cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.

Would it be acceptable for someone calling you a murderer for eating meat, wearing leather shoes or driving petrol car?

Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.

So yes, it’s not polite, but acceptable.

be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat.

🤦‍♂️ Not a religion imposing their beliefs at all.

Indeed. Can you point any inconsistencies in that sentiment, or prove it false? If not, what’s the problem here?

Perhaps only that you are no different to other brainwashed religious zealots who called abortion a “murder”. Go figure.

You can’t eat meat without animal murder. It’s really that simple. Dragging your fixations on religion into it is just noise and some feeble deliberate attempt to derail the issue and somehow “prove” that you had a point.
