[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just eat vegan for a week? [/quote]

The point of a vacation is to have fun, and not being able to have ice cream, seafood, grilled meats, etc. is no fun. [/quote]

Sorbet is awesome, you can grill tons of veggies as well as some fruits, and you can grill tofu. Surely you can't be so stupid as to think vegan people don't have fun on vacations.[/quote]

Apologies, I should have ended my post with "to me." Doing without those food is no fun TO ME. Therefore I would never "just eat vegan for a week." Also tofu is just wretched. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but if I said "vacation isn't fun to me without alcohol" most people would stay that is disordered. If you cannot enjoy a vacation without ice cream, seafood, and grilled meat, that sounds like a you issue that you should maybe work on, rather than a pronouncement about what is and is not fun for other people.

I'm not a fan of tofu myself, but it's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that there are no fun foods that don't involve animal products. Are you honestly sitting here saying that you do not enjoy ANY food that doesn't contain animal products? None? Zero?[/quote]
A week without wine and a week without meat are comparable. A week without beer and a week without ice cream are comparable. But to eat vegan for a week is to give up every single kind of meat, seafood, and poultry, as well as every single dairy product and eggs. Even honey is probably out. Butter and eggs are staple ingredients, not rare indulgences. We all eat some meals that are vegan, but for non vegans, a week’s worth of vegan breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks for the whole family is a headache.

OP, is the other family bothered by people eating meat in their presence? I wouldn’t want to make vegan friends queasy by eating a steak in front of them. If you’re close enough to go on vacation together, you should be close enough to have an honest conversation with them about how to handle meals.[/quote]
