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

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

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

The daughter is actually being stupid. Her actions ensured that meat had to be bought double the quantity. She's free to be be conscious about her food choices. But she can't impose that on others. In fact, the mom is very kind to cook her vegan food. At 16, any other parent would've asked her to cook her meals herself. She's too privileged to understand that she gets to choose a vegan diet. Throwing away such a lot of good food sheesh. A lot of starving people will rummage the garbage bin for something edible.

Congratulations, an animal now died for no reason at all and your mom had to buy MORE meat.

"Don't throw food away unless it's spoiled." Every parent, grandparent or other relative who went thru WW2 + the Depression. OP is *not* the AH. Daughter's just another know-it-all teenager who learned a valuable lesson - don't throw away food or stuff that isn't yours.

16 is more than old enough to be cooking her own meals if she cannot tolerate the meals that the rest of the family is served. It is also old enough to be told straight up that she is not "special" (because of the vegan phase) and she WILL NOT dictate the choices of the people who are housing, clothing and feeding her for the next two years (at least). Lastly, she needs to be told that 16 is far too old for temper tantrums, retaliatory foolishness, and moping/making faces during family time.

Good for you Mum. She disrespected the whole family by throwing out the meal. Perfect punishment is for her to buy the replacement and then cook it.

I agree with the mother. That kid sounds like a spoiled bratt who is forcing others to follow her beliefs. vegan or not, you do not throw away food for no reason! Food is already expensive enough and a lot of people would k**l to even eat a tablespoon of it. She waisted food and in doing so also wasted the very cow she claims to protect. She sounds like the extremist-vegans you hear online a lot about. The mother already tried to accomodate to her vegan diet, but even that was not enough for the spoiled bratt. She had to throw a tantrum and waste perfectly fine food. I 100% agree with the punishment.

The ones saying forcing her to cook meat is disgusting, well, so is throwing out the family's meals for the week. Girl needs to learn that she also wasted mom's time. She needs to chop, measure, blend, saute, and stew that chili for just as long as mom did. (Bonus points for making her handle habaneros without any advice about gloves or touching eyes, but I digress.) My chili takes hours.

I can't stand people that try and force their beliefs on everyone else. Daughter should be slapped in the head with a steak. S.T.F.U... nobody cares what you do as long as you stay quiet about it. F**k Off

I'd have forced her to slaughter the cow as well. A delusional zealot who insists that her beliefs should reign supreme.
