      “Oh no, there wasn’t any animal in this delicious meal. I feel so cheated.”

          No one gets pissed off like that. My friend says “you want some food? here try this.” “What is it?” “Dude just try it.” “Fine”

          I trust my friends and family to not poison me. I can assume if they feed me its okay to eat and if anything is surprising its something like “thats vegan meat, isnt that crazy?” I also know who my vegan friends are because I can at least empathize with their goals. I drastically reduced my meat consumption because of it, and Im happy with this lifestyle. Oatmilk is awesome and Im glad i branched out haha.

          Of course not. But I just can’t understand for the life of me why anyone would have a problem with the delicious food they just ate turning out to be vegan.

            Are you really that obtuse?

            The problem isn’t the food, it’s the lie. Maybe you don’t have a problem with being lied, but the rest of us do.

        Maybe if previous groundwork had been laid, the relationship was otherwise strong, and it wasn’t at such a symbolic event as Thanksgiving. But deception really burns a lot of bridges.

        hey, if I swapped out your food for something I thought was better for buy you were actually allergic to, would you be okay with that?

        My family has major issues with certain ingredients so we have to read every label pretty well. This is about safety. You don’t just hide shit like this from people.

        Does vegan substitute turkey taste/feel like real turkey now? The only time I ever had something like that was years ago and it was terrible. If that stuff hasn’t improved I’d rather they just make some other vegan dish that’s actually good and isn’t just trying to be something it’s not. Or at least give me a heads up so I can eat something else before I come over. I’m not going to fight someone about it though.

        Just did a quick google search and the products that came up look to be the same as what I had before.

          It doesn’t even matter. That chud would be upset if the same happened in reverse, if someone hid meat is their food without telling them.

          The problem here is that they have an agenda, and all actions are OK if it means their agenda is met. It’s about, “the ends justify the means”.

          People who feel “I’m OK with deceiving someone who disagrees with me” are the worst kind of people. They treat their point of view as the one truth and any action can be justified if it meets the needs of the one truth.
