Vegan Woman Tricked Into Eating Meat By Boyfriend’s Family, Makes Sure They Regret It
Veganism gets a bad rep because of those select few agenda-pushers, ruining it for the remaining 99%. Sadly, the bandwagon is only reserved for the one-percenters, apparently. As such, we have stories like this.
A vegan woman recently pulled off a semi-public display of vomiting, making her boyfriend’s family (and her boyfriend) feel hella grossed out all because the family thought feeding her meat will be a sick prank, bro.
Knock it off.
Sadly, some folks don’t really get understand the intricacies of drastically changing your diet

Like this family, who thought it would be funny to feed a vegan of 10 years meat, who one-upped their joke back at them

In the end, everyone was mad to a varying degree, and a kid felt sick to her stomach too

The story goes that Redditor u/purpldingo shared how her boyfriend’s family thought it would be a good idea to feed her meat. They were always against her stance on dietary choices in life, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary.
What was, however, was the fact that they laced the spaghetti sauce with meat, all the while claiming it’s a vegetarian family recipe. She thought the meal was weird, but she played along.
Well, once she found out—after the dad made a grand evil masterplan reveal—she simply excused herself and forced the food out. Otherwise, she would’ve been forced to force the food out through every available crevice. Cruel is our digestive system.
Well, nobody enjoyed the open display of food expulsion in the toilet. So much, in fact, that one of the kids in the family harmonized with OP.
For context, vegans don’t lose their ability to digest meat over time—rather, they need to pace the reintroduction

The way digestion works is food is introduced to the stomach and then appropriate enzymes and other processing bio-power is thrown into the mix to tackle the food.
Because vegans limit themselves to certain types of foods, which require a bit less exertion in terms of digesting energy and resources, reintroducing meat means the body needs to suddenly pull its weight around.
As such, if you throw in too much on the first go, the body will feel overwhelmed and chaos will ensue. Instead, if vegans want to reintroduce meat into their diets, they ought to start with poultry, which is a lighter meat.
It also means starting off small and easy, supplementing them with digestive enzymes and introducing meats at different times too. Baby steps, in other words, so as to cause less stress to the body.
And what happens if you overdo it? OP explained it better than any textbook does, so stay cautious!
So, we’d love to hear from you! Do you have any digestive or vegan or upchucking stories to illustrate a point? Share your takes and experience in the comment section below!

There were two major takes on the situation, the first of which was that the woman was not at fault because the family sucks
Others played devil’s advocate and advocated that everyone sucks because everyone could’ve simply not, ya know

Just.. don't mess with people's food. There's a lot of reasons why someone might not want to eat something, from ethical concerns to health concerns to allergies.
I've been vegan for a long time and once I accidentally ate vegetarian sausages at a barbecue party and later it turned out that they weren't vegan, but the main ingredient was egg. It was a very funny afternoon in the toilet when everything came out with force from both ends, and the cherry on top was the bile. Stomach ache for many more days. People often complain that beans cause stomach symptoms and getting used to them also has to be done gradually with baby steps. Messing up people's diet or making fun of it is (pun intended) tasteless.
Vegetarian and vegan are two very different diets. Many vegetarian recipes have eggs and dairy in them. The only thing a vegetarian recipe guarantees is "no animal flesh". (And SOME vegetarian recipes even allow fish, but no red or white meats.) Vegan recipes are different - most guarantee "no animal products". The rare exception to that rule is honey. You should ALWAYS make sure that a recipe is VEGAN when someone says "It's vegetarian." If they seem unsure of the difference, don't eat it. Mainly because non-vegans often forget that eggs and dairy count, and it's not always a main or visible ingredient. They aren't trying to deliberately trick you, but often just don't realize.

I don't get how people think they can just mess with people's food. I may not agree or like your choices, but I would certainly respect them. I'm vegetarian, not vegan. Why is that such a problem for other people when it's not your stomach?
Because, for whatever reason, people who center their life around eating meat don't want to allow us to have our ethics. Basically, that's what they say after forcing us to debate - it always starts at their end, and even if not, most vegetarians or vegans, at some point, just grow tired of the always same, oh-so-smart justifications and accusations. I've grown tired of it. Last century, that was.
