 While I agree with the other posters that he probably didn't mean any harm and you should give him another chance, you really shouldn't be too easy on him. I think that once you've taken the time to explain to him that you find that sort of behaviour offensive, and that it's an important issue to you, he really does need to put in the effort to respect you. Hopefully it works out for you!
Of course it works both ways, but you seem to be quite supportive of his decision to eat meat, so good on you.

 You might be a little overly sensitive about your position. Most people think being vegan is sort of funny. Not to be mean or disrespectful, I wouldn't break up over something like that if you love him! Is he good to you in all the other ways? He was just teasing, I'm pretty sure about that.

 Ahh, boys at his age will be immature like that. I don't think he means to disrespect you on purpose. In fact, I think I "played" with my food in front of a girl before when I was at his age. I wasn't trying to offend her, just trying to show her that I was funny, so your bf might be doing the same thing. He may really fancy you but just doesn't know how to express it properly. Before you decide to break up, tell him that you would like for him to act more mature and that he doesn't need to do silly things like that to impress you. If after talking with him he still acts like that, then you may break up.
