vegan

In our world of diversifying diets, we find ourselves in awkward situations over people's dietary restrictions, or even just points they're trying to make. Basically the exact opposite of this situation happened when an uncle at a vegan wedding couldn't handle it and demanded a meat meal. The enduring fact seems to be that if you're a guest and getting a free meal, you're going to find your options limited.

Being basically cooperative, we don't want to step on people's toes. In this case there's an employee eating a burger in a designated eating space, and their coworker happens to not like that. Compromise is important, but it's also important that people agree on what "compromise" means. Prickly attitudes transcend dietary preference, like this entitled uncle who demanded a meat meal at a vegan wedding.

This informative Tumblr thread shines light on the reasoning behind some people choosing to wear fur clothing, in spite of the controversy such a fashion decision can generate. Sounds like it boils down to the longevity of the clothing, and also how fur can potentially be most effective at keeping someone warm when they're trying to brave a dangerously cold Canadian arctic tundra. 

As much drama as there is over dietary restrictions, like this vegan mom who was upset that her stolen candy wasn't vegan or this vegan stepdaughter who couldn't stand that a cat wasn't vegan, it's fun to see the reversal. Here's the meat-eating uncle making a fuss over a single vegan meal he'll have to eat at a wedding. It's a free meal, dude.

The feared "candy tax" is well known among many circles, but it's usually just localized to one's own family. This mom overtaxed her non-direct subjects and felt the swift lash of unwanted gelatin. Honestly it seems like the kind of thing any self-respecting vegan would know about. But this lady is a candy baron. For another one, here's a heartbroken vegan having to learn that mayo isn't vegan.

This educational Tumblr thread effectively debunks some misconceptions that folks have surrounding local and ethical farms. We have a Tumblr user come in hot with some "facts" that they clearly didn't bother researching themselves, before sharing. Fortunately another Tumblr user comes in to clear up the mess, and lay out the reasons why it's a worthwhile endeavor to support those local and ethical farms. 

Check out another entertaining read from Tumblr with this story about the dad that defeated an evil snowplow with a steel enforced mailbox. A legendary story of revenge if we've ever seen one. 

The collective opinion in the comments section for this particular AITA seems to be that this parent was not in the wrong. They simply insisted on teaching their daughter a lesson about not wasting food, and also not forcing your beliefs on others. 

This dude's girlfriend demanded that he get rid of his cat because cats eat and kill mice. Um, let's just sit back and let that sit for a second. Okay, moving forward, this girlfriend sat down with the guy and gave him just the kind of toxic ultimatum that screams, "this isn't going to work out." She said she couldn't see a future with him unless he gave up the cat. The cat was just doing cat things. It seems like she was just too afraid to end the relationship for her own personal reasons, more than anything else. 

This one seems pretty cut and dried. Their friends seem a bit extreme and have a hard time understanding what cats eat. The decision to eat meat is one that causes bacon drama between fathers and daughters, and poor dietary information can lead to some really awkward situations like this woman who learned mayonnaise wasn't vegan.

Having to accept that some animals kinda need to eat meat is harder for some people than others. The whole feeding your pets eating meat thing is also an ongoing argument, like these vegans who were called fake because they feed their cat meat.

The Subway employee served up the knowledge free of charge. Love to picture the look of grim acceptance on the vegan's face when they learned that mayo was in fact not vegan. The fact they went through with the original sandwich order anyways is pretty great. 

Messing too much with your diet can prove to have some unintended consequences, and vegans and vegetarians who aren't careful about balancing their diet correctly can end up with some annoying problems that could be solved by eating meat. If anything, the topic of eating animal products gives us some interesting moments like this tumblr post that calls out vegans for not eating honey or this tumblr post that schooled people on plague and veganism. Here are people's reasons for returning to the meat.

It started as a dumb one liner vegan joke, but when you get the opportunity, you just see how far the joke can go. Who knows if she got there eventually. Talking to strangers can get weird, like how these people get into some wins and fails on tinder.

This is a mess. It's messed up to tamper with someone's food, but it started with everybody making some pretty bad decisions that led to this point. Gotta say, the jury's verdict that everyone sucks here is pretty compelling. For more vegan drama, here's a reversal of the situation, where a dad who doesn't want to stop cooking bacon because his daughter's diet. For more on the subject, here's a chill vegan's explanation of the Burger King lawsuit.
