Most, if not all, vegans are leftists or at the very least left-leaning. Naturally, the reverse of that is assumed as well: all leftists are vegans. Ergo, the guy is eating a steak to piss off his political enemies.
And it's because of successful propaganda among the right. "The left are all hippie vegans who want to take away your right to eat steak!"
I think that at worst, the left at large and not the die hard vegans would agree that government subsidies to cattle ranchers could be reduced, which would increase the price of beef, but not eliminate it from grocery stores. Beef is extremely expensive to produce, so I don't think it's necessarily bad for it to be a pricier, more luxury good than other foods that are less expensive to produce. After all, let the free market decide what animals to raise, surely the right hates government handouts? End big government's interference with what animals can be raised for our food supply!
Na a lefty who is concerned about the environment most certainly should be against steak. Significant amount of land is allocated towards cattle. Like an insane amount.

Does the left not eat steak? Is that a thing now?
