Can vegans and meat eaters coexist?

@derioderio

A player is vegan and demands that no one else eat any non-vegan snacks at the table

That seems like a derail

AFAIK that is not what this topic is about

Exactly what I was thinking after @VeronicaConnor confirmed my suspicion…

and thank you for pointing out where the timelines split - saves me the effort!

That’s your choice. I have recovering alcoholic friends for whom being near alcohol is very difficult and could not make that same choice, so yah, when they are over, it’s a dry house.

I was gonna jump in and talk about a vegan relative but I wanted to comment on what I quoted first.

That’s wonderful, I have never expected any of my friends or family to do that but they never make me feel uncomfortable because they know that I don’t drink.

It’s nice that you would that.

When our daughter got married several years ago she told me they were going to have a dry wedding out of respect for me. Made me happy but I told her no, it was alright if they wanted alcohol. The fact that she was concerned confirmed what we’ve known all along, she’s a great daughter.

Back to the vegan thing. We have a great niece that’s a vegan, she doesn’t expect any special menu when she visits but we always make sure there’s something on the menu for her.

I’m a picky eater, I would never expect anyone to accommodate my eating habits but don’t be offended if I just eat bread, it’s not the cook, it’s me.

So yes vegans and non vegans can get along unless the vegan is also a last guy supporter, in that case…

I really like that example. I too have friends who have chosen to stop drinking, and they often stay with us for a week or more at a time (they live in another country). When they’re here, nobody drinks alcohol. They’ve said they don’t mind, but why not get fun non-alcoholic drinks and enjoy them all together for a change of pace instead? Nobody NEEDS to drink alcohol, just like nobody NEEDS for everything they consume to have meat in it. (Unless you’re a cat, or snake, etc.)

Left out of this thread is anyone asking the vegan, “would you like the table to have only vegan snacks, or are you ok with a mixed and clearly-defined bunch of stuff.”

Proceed based on the answer.
