[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is her reason for this, OP? I’d definitely be concerned that this is a proxy for an eating disorder.[/quote] She's concerned about the treatment of animals and the environmental impact of non vegan eating.[/quote] How would she feel about doing doing some vegetarian meals if you and she look at the sources of your animal products to ensure they're coming from places that prioritize animal welfare and minimizing environmental impact? And then maybe split the difference and do a few vegan dinners and a few that are vegetarian optional, using ethically sourced ingredients? Either way you could do a few vegan dinners a week and make double batches, so there are leftovers for her for subsequent non-vegan meals. Also look to things that can easily be adapted, as others have said - say a shrimp stir fry for the family and a tofu stir fry for her with the vegetables pulled out for the tofu portion before the shrimp is added?[/quote]
