I can share some recipes I highly recommend for a vegetarian thanksgiving if you'd like. This food does not have to be only for the veg*ns - everyone can eat it!

I hate people like you.

My best friend is a vegan and she always says "I can find something to eat anywhere" - it's her choice and she's very flexible. It's annoying when vegans/veggies force their life choices on their hosts. You give them a bad name. Seriously, this is why people make fund of you, because they think the food has to be for one or the other. I've had her over for Thanksgiving every year for 20 years and made dishes that people didn't know were vegan.

But, you don't seem like the kind of people I'd want to have over anyway.

I just couldn't help but respond to this person's reply. How rude of you! Hate is a strong word to use, especially considering that you obviously only read the first line of this person's post, got your undies in a bunch, and clicked reply without fully reading the post. You make yourself look silly by doing this because at the end of your extremely rude and offensive post, you imply that you accommodate your vegan best friend and nobody else at the Thanksgiving dinner even knows they are vegan. If you FULLY read the person's post that you responded to, that is EXACTLY what she suggested they do! I was raised a vegetarian, I am a 3rd generation vegetarian, and I have never, ever in my life had problems with eating amongst other people. Or heard or experienced the rudeness and offensiveness that you display here. If you are going to act in such an uncivilized, unfriendly way towards vegans and vegetarians, why did you read and both responding to this thread at all?

Next time read the full post before you respond with your very bad attitude and make yourself look so silly.
