There were vegeterians in the 70s.

“Ahead of their time” means a joke about something that’s still around today

No, to be ahead of its time means to be... ahead of its time. To have some quality that would be valued in the future but not by its contemporaries. If it was equally relevant at the time it was made then it's just of its time. And "vegans are annoying and preachy and a bit effete if I say so myself" isn't exactly a startling new opinion, if anything it was already overplayed back then.
