[quote=Anonymous]Former vegan here. Their attitude is becoming increasingly common among vegans. Many are triggered by the sight/smell of meat- which I understand, because there is an emotional reaction to it. Vegan propaganda is designed to give you a fanatical intolerance for animal products. I struggled with it myself, the desire to preach is strong. Hell, I wanted to divorce my husband and find a vegan one, that's how crazy it makes you.

However, statistically, the vast majority of vegans reverts back to omnivory. It's not sustainable for most people. So then you look like a total jack@$$ for ditching all your friends over a diet you couldn't keep up.

I can, on the other hand, sympathize if their rationale was that most restaurants don't serve decent vegan food, and they asked you to try a vegan restaurant so they could enjoy the meal. I know it was always tough for me to find good vegan food unless it was at a vegan restaurant.

Personally, I'd probably comply with her request, unless she starts to get preach-y. Chances are, they will go back to eating meat, and you can enjoy restaurants again. [/quote]
