eta: this question came up in the work group chat and I noticed the gay guys responded more favorably to vegetables so I'm just curious if it's an actual thing or just anecdotal

Well there is a cultural thread out there that meat eating is masculine and vegetables are not, which certain macho types subscribe to, and even some not exactly macho types have been influenced by during their upbringing. So I would certainly expect a correlation, and have observed one. You don't need to subscribe to this thread to understand it exists. It would be interesting to see data. I'd like to think we would see a trend of it weakening across the generations.

that was my thought too! I know there will never be a study done on this, but I would also like data (god I love data)
