Reply to comment by Miketogoz in [OC] There are more self-described vegans than vegetarians among US users of Twitter by jasonjonesresearch
Who didn't know what veganism was in 2010? It was absolutely a well known concept. Scott Pilgrim vs the World the movie came out in 2010 and has a whole subplot mocking vegans, and it was in no way some obscure concept back then. It had already been a mainstream concept for decades by that point. The Simpsons episode where Lisa discusses veganism with Paul McCartney came out in 1995, and no-one was like "what the fuck is veganism?".
I'm very curious how old you were in 2010.

17yo if you are interested in. I'm not saying the concept didn't exist, just that it wasn't as hip as it is now. I don't really remember seeing vegan dishes at restaurants, just vegetarian ones.
