You can't have a cruelty-free Thanksgiving by throwing money around to be cruel to your MIL, so I have a suspicion the smug b didn't do any homework to determine if any of what she bought was ACTUALLY cruelty-free, either. Being vegan DOESN'T actually guarantee that, after all, no matter what propaganda would have you believe.

Well, humans aren't cute. /snark

The b!tch uses her veganism and kids to control her in-laws. I hope she enjoys spending the thousands of dollars in extra expenses she now has incurred. OP's son is an idiot who deserves the b!tch. If the kids are smart they will make their parent's lives a living Hell until b!tch grovels for forgiveness, and OP tells her she *still* refuses to babysit ever again!

Right?!?! I have been a vegetarian and an animal rights activist for 30 years now. I have NEVER thrown a fit about other people’s food choices. I have been surprised by the number of people who go vegan purely because they enjoy feeling superior to others. Honestly I feel like they give animal rights activists a bad name and I would rather they found some other way to feel smug. They say it’s about the animals, but their actions tell a different story.

What vegans won't speak about is the fact that exponentially more animals are killed via lethal crop protection measures and drifting crop agrochemicals than are killed for meat. They'll also lie and say that the crops are all grown to feed livestock, but the grains that are fed to livestock are 90% industrial waste, such as distillers grains. Veganism is how you would eat if you wanted to cause the most death and suffering.
