Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, my boss was hosting some client representatives for a meeting and had offered to buy everyone lunch. The "healthy" place he's ordering from made me sick last time, so I'd politely opted out. At lunch, the reps glared at me in the meeting room as I ate my homemade chili con carne. Turns out they're all vegans. FML
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML
Today, I decided to start eating healthier, so I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast and a chicken salad for lunch. My stomach violently rejected both meals in a fountain of vomit. I later ate a giant McDonald’s meal with no issue, and felt loads better. FML
Today, my daughter said she wanted to be vegetarian like me. Beaming with pride, I made her plant-based burgers for dinner. She took one bite, screamed, "EW!" and started crying and begging for beef burgers. FML
Today, after years of providing daily various home-made colourful meals for three kids and a husband, I was asked to "cook something cool, like instant hamburgers, not that lame healthy shit". FML
Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML
Today, I was making dinner for my family while my wife was at work. She walked in the door with McDonald's, even though she knew I was cooking. Then our kids saw and started screaming that they wanted McDonald's too and that it was unfair. I've told her not to pull this shit and she won't listen. FML
Today, as I was pressed for time, I opened some canned food for dinner. When my children were served, they said, "Mmm, this is best meal you've ever cooked for us!" I cook healthy, balanced meals every day. FML
Today, I ate brunch at my in-laws. The food all tasted off to me so I didn't eat much, telling my mother-in-law I was watching my weight. Later on, while out doing a bit of shopping, I stopped at a red light. Guess who pulled up next to me while I was scarfing a fast food burger. FML

Are you just doing this for attention? I mean, even negative attention is attention, nonetheless. It doesn't take much to read these boards and tell that being a sneaky bitch and trying to force other people into a lifestyle against their will is stupid? Can't you read and learn that this shit don't work? YDI for not turning on your screen reader and letting it read what you obviously won't.

They obviously didn't think it was tasty if they spit it out, now did they? Do you generally spit out food you find tasty? No? Then maybe admit to yourself that that's your opinion instead of a fact. There are plenty of food items that don't contain meat and also taste good, but the ones that are specifically meant to replace animal products (soy burgers, vegan cheese, etc.) don't taste good to most people. If you choose to eat them, great, but don't force others to do so against their will.

if you want to be vegetarian/vegan, do you. don't try to force it on your family. I'd be furious

Plant based "meat" is ass. My dog won't even eat it and you expect your family to?

Did your family express interest in trying this plant-based meal? Or any such meal? Like, I get wanting to encourage people to try new things, but you really do have to read the room sometimes, y'know?

Did you even ask them if they were interested in eating a meal like that before you made it for them?
