Teen Throws All Meat Out After Family Refuses To Go Vegan, Regrets It

33

ADVERTISEMENT

Being the only vegan in a family of carnivores can’t be easy… Especially when a massive meaty dish is being cooked in bulk for them to eat throughout the week. Some might even argue that the sight, the smell, and the mere thought of it is simply “disgusting.”

One teen’s attempts to convert her “callous” meat-eating family have fallen on deaf ears for the past year. She decided to teach them a lesson recently, by throwing an entire pot of beef chilli in the bin. But the 16-year-old’s actions backfired spectacularly when her mom made her buy and cook more meat, to replace the food she had wasted. The mother is now wondering if she went too far.

    Many (even some vegans) felt the teen had been served a much-deserved lesson

    I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

    As a vegetarian, I think wasting food is worse than eating meat. I like leather, as it uses parts of the cow that otherwise wouldn't be used. I think that wasting food ESPECIALLY if it's for someone else is a punishable offense. If I pulled this s**t (I wouldn't, cuz I love chili and would never harm it) I would EXPECT someone to do the same punishment OP did. NTA

    I don't know any unreasonable vegans (the stereotypical ones everyone b*****s about) and all the ones I know think it's worse to waste animal product than to consume it. If the animal has already suffered to have a product available you better make darn sure that it gets used and not wasted.

    Daughter sounds like one of those idiots who will make their pets go vegan. She's delusional.

    True Believers generally are delusional. It comes with the territory.
