In this episode of The Keto Vegan, I’m picking up where I left off in the last episode — helping you avoid those face-palm moments 🤦‍♀️ when interacting with your vegan friends. We covered food faux pas 🍔❌ last time, but today we’re diving into the other social slip-ups that can make things awkward (or downright offensive) for a vegan 🐄❤️.

From the “don’t invite us to the zoo” rule 🦁🚫, to why carnist one-liners about canine teeth aren’t clever 🦷🙄, to not interrogating our health choices 💊🥗 — we’re breaking down why these things matter and how to approach them with empathy instead 💛.

If you’ve got vegan friends, even if you think you haven’t (spoiler: you probably have) 🕵️‍♀️, this is your crash course in being respectful without being weird.

Key Takeaways

Skip the animal exploitation invites 🐎🛑 – Zoos, aquariums, races, and circuses aren’t fun days out for someone who’s vegan; they represent suffering and exploitation.
Drop the tired carnist jokes 🥩🤔 – Remarks about canine teeth or “what if you were on a desert island?” aren’t original, persuasive, or helpful.
Conversations go both ways 🔄💬 – If you ask vegans to justify their lifestyle, be prepared for questions about yours.
Don’t play nutrition police 🥦👮‍♀️ – Constantly quizzing a vegan about B12, iron, or omega-3 is intrusive and often comes from defensiveness, not genuine concern.
Veganism is more than a diet 🌱❤️ – For most, it’s a moral and ethical stance for animals, with health and environmental benefits as a bonus.

Best Moments

“Think about it logically — when vegans think about these places, all they can see is the abuse and exploitation of animals 🐑💔.”
“They’re not clever one-liners, and vegans that don’t respond probably realise that actually that’s not the best way to change somebody’s mind 💭.”
“How would you feel if you were asked, ‘Why aren’t you vegan yet?’ 🤷‍♀️”
“Can you imagine if your vegan friends asked you about the risk of cancer and heart disease because of the meat you’re eating? 🥩➡️💔”
“Most often it’s an ethical choice. The only reason I am vegan is for the animals 🐖❤️… the ripple effect is that it’s good for the planet 🌍 and my health 🏃‍♀️.”
