[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do some people seem to become such narcissists about their eating? Sibling turned vegan which is fine, but has to advertise it all the time, post drama about it on FB, and complain when there is "nothing she can eat" at catered family gatherings (that have vegetarian options). It's like a made-up disability concocted around food hat people then seek attention for.[/quote]

I experience the opposite (and I"m only vegetarian). Grilling me on why? Dramatically proclaiming they could NEVER not eat meat. etc.

Why is it so hard for people, when you know you are inviting veggies over, to offer a SINGLE offering. I wouldn't invite you over and not have a meat dish. Someone else's dietary needs or preferences are really none of your business. And while you may not agree with veganism/vegetarianism, that is also not your concern. There are valid reasons -health and other reasons- to choose that.

If you're going to host. Be a good host. Otherwise, who's the narcissist here? You're criticizing, judging . . . . you're as bad as she is.[/quote]

You really would cook meat to serve?  Just so you know, that is really awkward.  Just cook something vegetarian that is an actual entree.  No one expects meet to be served at a vegetarian’s dinner party.

When I have vegans or vegetarians over in a group, I might serve meat but I also have a vegan dish that can serve as an entree, like red beans and rice.

People are making this much more difficult than it needs to be.  There is a lot of lovely food in the world that can be vegan without changing a thing or adding fake products.  Why not pick one of those dishes?  I host weekly and accomodate all sorts of guests.  I find keto the most annoying diet to cook for because they always seem to eat everything anyway, even though I go out of my way to have several balanced Keto-only options.  If you are going to eat the carbs anyway, don’t even mention your restriction.[/quote]
