SauceNao is pointing me towards pixiv #88969373 by Tokisaki Kun, which is a bad pixiv id. No idea if that's the actual origin or if that was also a repost of some sort.
Sĥes not a vegetarian. Theres nothibg tgat hints at her being one.
At one point in that episode, the pilots are invited to a steak dinner. Rei declines, saying she doesn’t like meat. At the end of the episode, she does eat out with the others, but specifically asks for no pork roast in her ramen. Whether or not she is a true vegetarian, those facts are enough to argue that her casually eating a burger like that is out of character (unless it’s a veggie burger or something).

Well, if you've been following this artist, then you would've known this artist's Rei is already out of character (i.e. never the poker face that she is in canon).

I just took a quick look through the artist’s works and I see what you mean. They even directly reference her canonically not liking meat in post #4397478, right before she blatantly defies her “established character.”
I have a feeling this post might be referencing it too (for one thing, the kanji for meat is there). I’ll translate it later if someone doesn’t beat me to it.
