I Forced My Vegan Daughter to Cook Meat

Lifestyle

Family arguments over food choices can get messy fairly quickly. In this story, our reader tries to respect her vegan daughter’s lifestyle by keeping their meals separate, but things take a turn for the worse when the daughter decides to take matters into her own hands. What started as an effort to accommodate her daughter’s choices quickly turned into a bigger issue.

Lifestyle We got a message from our reader.

Thanks for sharing your story! We’re really sorry you’re dealing with this, and we’d like to give you some tips that might help.

Lifestyle Taking responsibility is fair.

It’s a matter of actions having consequences — she made the decision to throw away perfectly good food, and it’s fair to ask her to make up for it. If she ruined your meal prep without any discussion, taking responsibility and helping out is a reasonable way to address the problem. Having her prepare the meal was intended to make her realize the real cost and significance behind the food that was wasted.

Lifestyle Respect goes both ways.

Everyone’s dietary choices should be respected. She chose to be vegan, and the family has gone out of their way to accommodate her lifestyle by preparing separate meals. In return, she should respect others’ choices and not interfere with the meals that aren’t hers.

Throwing away the meat dishes was overstepping, especially since the family takes care to prepare vegan options for her. Respect is a two-way street, and boundaries should be maintained on both sides to keep a healthy relationship.

Lifestyle Talk to her.

It’s important to recognize that she may have felt uncomfortable about having meat stored next to her vegan food, even if everything was sealed. Let her know you understand her feelings, but also explain why throwing away food wasn’t the right solution. Finding a middle ground could help avoid future issues.

Lifestyle Set clear expectations for future situations.

Your daughter may have thrown out the meat because she felt uncomfortable having it near her food. While her feelings are valid, so are yours. Set clear boundaries about how you’ll store food in the future, so this doesn’t happen again. Agree that she won’t throw away any food without discussing it first, and reassure her that you’ll respect her meals too.

Family relationships can get pretty complicated, especially when respect and boundaries are tested. In the story about forcing a vegan daughter to cook meat, it’s clear how tricky these situations can be. Something similar happens in this story, where our reader’s husband embarrassed her in front of everyone over one small thing.

‘Injured By A Vegan?’ Campaign Promotes Plant-Based Lifestyle By Parodying Ambulance Chaser Billboards

Lifestyle

Vegan organization creates fictional “Loudermilk & Associates” law firm, a hilarious send-up of the unabated proliferation of personal injury attorneys.

LOS ANGELES, CA—June 3, 2024—The plant-based advocacy organization, Eat Differently, has launched a new “Hate Vegans?” ad campaign that, through humor and parody, hopes to drive in-depth discussions about the real reasons vegans care so much and what we can all do, right now in our lives, to change the world.

This groundbreaking comedic campaign, which officially launches today in Los Angeles, features a comprehensive marketing campaign including billboards throughout the area, TV and radio commercials on channels such as Hulu and Spotify, and a massive social and influencer strategy. People can go to the hatevegans.com website to find out how the injuries they’ve sustained from preachy vegans could be turned into massive settlements from Seymour Loudermilk and his legal team.

The organization created Seymour Loudermilk, “one of the East San Fernando Valley’s most established personal injury attorneys,” who has announced that his firm, Loudermilk & Associates, has begun handling injury claims for citizens who have been harmed by the words or actions of vegan zealots.

Some of Loudermilk’s “wins” include trauma from vegan medical advice from doctors, and protection from facts surrounding where your meat and dairy actually come from. In the words of Seymour, “If you’ve ever been made to feel uncomfortable by a vegan about that triple bacon cheeseburger you enjoyed right before your stent replacement surgery, then you’ve come to the right place!”

It is quickly apparent that the website, along with the 866-hate-vegans phone number, has been developed to encourage meat and dairy eaters to “share their hate” for vegans. Once there, they are greeted by pro-vegan messaging such as the health benefits of eating a diet of plants, not animals, along with the positive effects on the planet and the welfare of the animals.

The campaign runs in Greater Los Angeles. Additional cities will be added.

View commercials and listen to the radio spothere.

My Vegan Girlfriend Wants Me to Get Rid of My Cat and I Don’t Know What to Do

My Vegan Girlfriend Wants Me to Get Rid of My Cat and I Don’t Know What to Do

Lifestyle

When the man in today’s story met his girlfriend, he was captivated by her passion for veganism and animal rights. Her unwavering commitment to living a cruelty-free lifestyle was both admirable and inspiring. However, this dedication has now led to an unexpected and heart-wrenching dilemma.

Lifestyle He told the internet what happened.

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for 7 months. She’s amazing and we’re super compatible in a lot of ways. She is an outspoken vegan, and she made it clear at the start of our relationship that it was important to her that any potential had similar cruelty-free values. I, already being a pescatarian, had little difficulty transitioning to a fully plant-based diet. My girlfriend was proud of me for going cruelty-free and everything seemed well. We became “the vegan couple” on our college campus.

I think, I can never earn over which I paid by my precedent employer, but I was wrong, world is so large to try their fate. but now I am making $52/h even more,and easily earn minimum $1300/week, on the experience everyone must try to do work online, easy way to earn, here’s an example.

Then there is mycatMittens… I’ve had her for three years and I adore her. She’s such a sweet and cuddly cat. However, my girlfriend was always a little apprehensive around her, and she blamed it on not growing up around cats. After a while, we sort of made a tacit agreement to mostly hang out at her apartment instead of mine, so Mittens never really came up again in conversation.

Recently my girlfriend and I have spent a lot of time together and we’ve started talking about taking our relationship to the next level. We began seriously looking at either buying a new apartment together or having one of us move in with the other.

However, after a lot of talking and planning, my girlfriend sat me down and dropped a bombshell on me. She said that with this next phase of the relationship, she did not see a future with me unless I was willing to give away Mittens. She said that she believed owning a cat is unconscionable for vegans, because they hunt mice and eat meat, and because the very act of owning a pet is a violation of vegan principles.

I was stunned. I told her that I was absolutely not willing to give up Mittens, and she had no choice but to eat meat so I was reducing harm as much as possible by buying reputable brands of cat food. Plenty of vegans own cats and think along those same lines. My girlfriend got mad and said “How much flesh does your cat eat? How many animals died to make all that food? Would you be okay with that being human flesh?”

I think it goes without saying that I am not going to get rid of my cat. However, it pains me to think that an otherwise wonderful relationship could be ending because of a difference in ideology. I don’t even really understand where my girlfriend is coming from because like I said, a lot of vegans own cats. Now granted, cat ownership can be a controversial topic in vegan circles and I probably would not have gotten a cat if I had been vegan at the time, but I have Mittens now, and she deserves to eat. (Yes, I’ve researched vegan cat food, but Mittens has some digestive issues and my vet strongly cautions against it.)

I’ve talked to some of my vegan and vegetarian friends and they all think my girlfriend has lost her mind. Some have suggested that it’s not about Mittens and my girlfriend just wants an excuse to end it. They probably don’t understand why I haven’t broken up yet, but I care about my girlfriend so much. I’d hate for this bizarre curve ball to be the end of a beautiful thing. I want to try and work something out.

Lifestyle People advised him not to give his cat away.

  • “She suggested to give it away? It makes no sense whatsoever… Will it consume less meat with another owner? Of course not. It’s like boasting about your lack of garbage because you dump it all in your neighbor’s yard.” -Nerze- / Reddit
  • “As a fellow vegan, no, this isn’t even cool. If she truly cared about animals she wouldn’t ask you to re-home your cat! It has a loving home! Her way of thinking is backward. If someone told me I am not a real vegan because I have a dog I would laugh and tell them they can have their stupid label, the dog stays, he’s family. Just like I’m sure your cat is your family.” ayecaptainaye / Reddit
  • “I’m a vegan who feeds my dog (who is a mutt whom I rescued) meat for the same reason: it’s not healthy to do otherwise and I’m not going to take my dog’s life in some kind of twisted ethical calculus. Your girlfriend is being jealous and needs some time to chill out. Eventually, she’ll see the error in her logic.” jasondclinton / Reddit

  • “I wonder if this isn’t really about veganism but more of her finding ways in an intimate relationship to express control over her partner. The fact that she doesn’t possess the skills to be flexible, compromising, or negotiate with a partner is a big red flag to me.” Unrealpeople24 / Reddit
  • “Anyone who asked or expected me to get rid of my animals would be kicked to the curb.” sleeeighbells / Reddit
  • “See if the local shelter will allow you to surrender your girlfriend.” Chakakhanukkah / Reddit

Whether he finds a way to balance her ethical stance with his love for Mittens or makes a heart-wrenching choice, the situation underscores the importance of open communication and empathy.
