Meat at Every Meal…Really?
June 25, 2008
Why is it that when vegans ask meat eaters to eat one meat-free, dairy-free dish instead of their usual flesh and potatoes for one meal, they act like you are trying to poison them? Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of meat eating friends that are happy to try a vegan dish, but there are some who can’t even fathom not eating meat for just one meal. I had a recent incident regarding my birthday dinner. A family member wanted to take me out for my birthday which I truely appreciate; she told me to choose the restaurant. She selected the location since they didn’t want to drive too far. Los Angeles is a big place and we don’t live near each other. Anyway, she suggested Santa Monica, so I said great! Let’s go to Real Food Daily (RFD). “Do they have meat there?” she asked. “We’ll no” I said. She said we can’t go there then, because she doesn’t want to put her husband through that. What!?! Is it such torture to go to a highly rated vegan restaurant with nachos, potato salad, and club sandwiches, not to mention, amazing weekly specials and not eat meat for just one meal? Apparently it is, so we had to figure out another restaurant.
