I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who's been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.

How do you not bring it up before planning food out with someone? Sorry, I don't believe you. Im forced to bring it up very early in relationships because food comes up pretty darn fast, even for casual acquaintances

Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it's spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it's some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I'm not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I'm eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I'm vegan.
