Would you tell a vegetarian relative that your MIL has been sneaking meat into their food?

I just found out that my MIL intentionally sneaks meat products into her "vegetarian" dishes and does not tell SIL about it. She'll tell SIL that she used vegetable broth when she really uses chicken broth. She'll cook things in bacon fat or add some bacon fat for flavor. She isn't sneaking a steak into a smoothie or anything but she's been serving quite a few vegetarian meals with meat products. MIL things being a vegetarian is stupid and she is already being gracious enough to pretend to accommodate SIL.
If I tell SIL, MIL will know it was me. I'm on the fence about whether to say anything or not. |

Who is SIL? Dh's sister or his brother's wife? Honestly, I'd let dh take the fall for this and deal with his mother. Chances are she will be nicer to her son about telling SIL than if it was you.

| Tell her. I'm surprised sil can't taste it though. Tell her and ask her to just tell MIL that she can taste the broth . |

| If she is really strict about her diet, yes I would. That’s not ok to do to someone. |

| I would. Some people are vegetarian because their body can't process meat based protein. Like my SIL. If she has meat or dairy she will be violently ill. |

| I’m a vegetarian, and I would 100% want someone to tell me. |

| Yes. Not all veg are that strict but they should get to pick. Fundamentally not okay that MIL does this. |

| Yes, tell her, but let your husband do all the dirty work with both your SIL and his mom. |

| I bet your SIL has already figured it out, but puts on a happy face as to be a good SIL. It is fairly trace amount of "meat" anyway. |

| No as long as it’s not an allergy. |

WTF? That's rude, disrespectful, and straight up crazy. There are many vegetarians who are not strict about these things but your SIL should have the choice.
I would tell her. It would disturb my conscience to not tell her. This is not okay on any level. |

| As a vegetarian I always ask if things have meat in them even if it’s chicken broth or duck fat. I’d want to know! |
