I work at a bakery and am vegan. Whenever we get a new cake or vegetarian sandwich, my coworkers ask me to try it. At least one of them, H, is always surprised to learn that dairy products are in fact made from milk.
On the other hand, one of my coworkers brought in sesame sweets made without dairy, eggs, or honey and H didn’t believe they were actually vegan and kept making jokes about my cheat day.
Yeast is a fungus, honey is made by bees. I used to be pretty neutral about honey, but we don’t adequately protect bees from the cold and other perils when we keep them.
I can’t tell if H is a troll or just really stupid (or both). She and I clash about several subjects and she does sometimes straight antagonize the rest of us, but she’s also weirdly ill-informed about a lot of things and 67 years old. A lot of the antagonism seems to stem from her expecting everyone to defer to her because of her age, but because she’s not very smart, she orders us to do things that don’t make sense, then gets annoyed when we don’t.
I mostly just try to ignore her and don’t accept any food from her unless it’s prepackaged and I know what it is.

Yeast is OK but honey is not? They both seem like a mild sort of symbiosis.
Yeast is a fungus, honey is an animal product

tbh I think H is such a massive troll, if you weren’t vegan, they would just find something else incomprehensible.
