It's not a phase, mom!

Hmm...just a thought, but I don't think this was posted as a for/against debate. My guess is that the OP was just upset about the fact that this dinner, prepared FOR her, was full of food she has refused to eat for a long time. It sounds like the parents are one way and so they think their offspring should be the same. It's no different than if the OP was lesbian and when she got home they had the hot new neighbor guy over and tried to hook them up. I'm guessing that would give some laughs, but many more arguments that it was wrong. The fact is, the OP chose a certain lifestyle and the parents not only ignored it but tried to force their own lifestyle on her. Cut her some slack, once again...this dinner was supposed to be a "welcome home" meal.

Vegetarian is old Indian word for bad hunter, they are weak, but the meat makes us strong

I hate vegans

Vegan's and vegetarians aren't the same thing - one doesn't eat dairy, cheese, milk, eggs, honey etc and the other doesn't eat meat. And my family's done the same to me, but after awhile you stop giving any ***** and remember that's one of the reasons you moved out or are looking to.
