They didn't lie, though. It's one thing to say "a meal without meat doesn't work for me". That makes it clear you're aware this is your preference (though how and where you say it can matter anyway). It's different to say "how dare you not feed me what I want". That is, in fact, implying that said person thinks anything other than the meat he prefers is inferior or somehow unacceptable. Not sure what the issue is with them calling that out.
