Won't lie. We're almost at BBQ season and I'm going to be smoking up all kinds of goodness on the pit that'll make yo mouth water. I'll post pics but if it's too offensive I'll just keep the food pr0n to myself.

    My take as well. I'm vegan but I won't be shocked at seeing a steak - I've seen them basically all my life, and even ate them before I became vegan. And while I consider eating meat immoral (for environmental and animal welfare reasons), I also won't berate someone for doing it, especially when they're in a culture where it's basically the norm.

      Why won't you berate g*mers and r*dditors?

      My wife is eats vegan cuisine and has been eating with me Mr. Omnivore at most meals for going on 25 years.

      Dietary choices don't define people.

          Not everyone who eats vegan food lives a Western vegan lifestyle.

          My wife was raised Buddhist, and she has no problems with wearing leather, but she won't touch food made out of animals.

          That is the same stance that the monks take at the temple she goes to.

                No I'm pretty sure if your wife buys leather she isn't a vegan.

                It isn't a sliding scale its a binary thing

                  I didn't say she was vegan. She just eats vegan style cuisine.

                  She doesn't eat dal or much asian tofu dishes. She eats the vegan-branded option for burritos, burgers, etc. Veganism isn't just a lifestyle or ideology, it is its own cuisine.

                  I don't define them for my wife.

                  She tells me she eats vegan food -- but doesn't consider herself vegan -- and I say she eats vegan food.

                  She treats it like a cuisine. She grew up eating pork and fish but her dad died of a heart attack very young which shocked her into choosing vegan food minus the lifestyle.

                  I guess vegan food I would consider the westernized style of cooking dishes which normally would have meat in them. She doesn't eat ethically plant-based diets like certain Asian cuisines. She is like 50% made of Boca burgers and fake cheese.
