[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m vegan. I know many of us are annoying, but I’m kind of horrified at the suggestions to serve nothing but broccoli or to cook things in bacon. I have had a couple friends who get extremely sick from eating meat, and adding things to people’s food is extremely unethical. How would you feel if someone intentionally fed you a food you found revolting without your consent? What if it was something you were allergic to and they wanted to prove a point that you were just being dramatic? Many vegans get excited when they first start, as do many people who starts other diets, such as [b]paleo, keto, weight watchers, or even just calorie restriction. Many have also struggled with lifelong disordered eating and need support, not criticism. Plus most vegans get into the diet for animal welfare reasons, which is a cause many are passionate about. And often times there really isn’t anything for us to eat. Vegetarian is not vegan, so something with cheese or eggs doesn’t really help me.[/b] Most of the time at social gatherings, I’ll have nothing to eat but some vegetables, which is maybe 100 calories and not enough for fill me up. And equally as annoying are the people who mock me or try to cajole me into eating meat. Can’t you just ignore the FB posts, like all of us have to do with every annoying political FB post we see? Can you offer sibling support, too? It’s not that hard to pick up a pack of vegan burgers and some vegan cheese for a cookout. [/quote] It is extremely difficult to satisfy vegans at formal events like weddings. And if it is a fine dining venue with super chefs? There are usually 2 entree options and now many have moved to a courtesy vegan option - no vegetarian. So no cake-get berries. Impossible to accommodate every guest. People would not be cajoling or annoying if they didn't have to hear about everything ad infinitum. As for guest in a home, vegans can be easy to accomodate. Get frozen food. Microwave. Plate it. Mashed potatoes- once did a special for a vegan and they ate the other. [/quote]
