The only time I've ever heard anybody talk about how much they like meat is in response to when some vegan dipshit starts running their mouth. And nobody thinks it's a "virtue" to eat meat, it's just an enjoyable thing to do, so calling it "virtue signaling" doesn't even make sense.
The closest you might be able to describe it as "virtue signaling" is to let other people know that you're also annoyed by judgmental assholes bloviating about their virtuous diets.
Vegan is just another virtue signal to me. There's a big difference from being a health nut and being a vegan.

I appreciate that you're making an effort to argue your point in good faith, but
that's not virtue signalling
neither is that
nor that. are you sure you know the meaning of this term?
