[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend handled this like an adult. She still wants to do stuff with you, just not watch you eat meat. So what? She told you in person, she didn't insult your eating habits, just said she couldn't do it.

Do you WANT to be friends or do you want to cause problems? How difficult is it to find something else to do with them? [b]Can you not abstain from meat for a couple of hours in order to see these people?[/b]

I think you are just looking for a reason to be offended. But this friend hasn't done anything that should offend you. So either suck it up and do non-meat related activities (don't wear a salami-suit or a meat dress) or tell her, face to face, that you can't give up meat for 2 hours so you can still be friends.

You sound like a total moron. Who looks for a reason to be offended? And it goes so beyond OP giving up 2 hours of giving up meat, its one person/couple imposing their beliefs (strong ones that are in the minority) imposing their beliefs. Most couples socialize via eating together. Why should one couple be able to fulfill their palettes while the other has to hold back? I think this is absurd and super selfish of the vegan couple.

We have 2 couple friends who are vegans, and go out with them all the time. They never once have said anything to us. That said, we are sensitive, it's not like we are ordering rare steak or steak tartare but we each respect each other and care enough to give each other room to eat what we want! Enough of this PR bullshit.[/quote]
