It's not that we hate all vegans and stuff like that, we hate a certain breed of vegans who try to force everyone to be vegan, and insult people who are just minding their own business because they see an egg.

Have a theme for the wedding that’s proudly announced in advance, then a guest does something that is basically a slap in the face to the theme of a very special day.

I think that is the issue also. But not only radical vegans, meat eaters can be obnoxious too. We have had people grabbing meat with their hand and eat it practically in our face to prove I don't know what point.

But many eat egg substitutes, meat substitutes but then get made at otherd

It's not that it was seperate food it's that it was a vegan specific event.

I agree, but the decent vegans are the exception. Most are pretentious in some degree and it is very off putting

“Pretentious to some degree”? Seems you already made that decision before meeting “most” vegans. A vegan tries to say they are vegan and people get offended. That’s my experience. Other vegans I know have faced this hate when people find out they’re vegan before they’ve even had a chance to talk.

I was going to say the opposite. An intolerance for people who are vegan is prejudiced. Shouldn’t tolerate that kind of hate anymore than hate directed towards interracial couples. I don’t see vegans being intolerant that way. Black Lives Matter activism is as strong as animal rights in the vegan community

Except intolerance for vegans isn't a thing. Intolance towards loud, irritating vegans who tell people what to eat, and organize events specifically to make people uncomfortable, and weaponize their wedding to use as some kind of cudgel to shame people who aren't vegan is a thing... But that really has very little to do with actually being vegan.

That is the Dumbest stuff I've ever heard,how dare you compare that to true racism, I don't see vegans being linched or shot for being vegans .So your comment shows how ignorant you truly are.Your the A-H today stupid.and yes you are a karen.

So you would do the same thing she did, just as disrespectful

No more disrespectful than attempting to weaponize your wedding as a justification to attack your friends and family lifestyle, or telling off a GUEST who came to celebrate your special day because the sack lunch that you invited her to bring was somehow offensive?

If she wants her vegan wedding she gets a vegan wedding. She provides the food. Its not telling people what to do it is eating what youre served. Basic respect guys. The fact that she brought her own food should be an exception tho. She is not tryinb to offend anyone she can just straight up die eating the wrong thing.

Exactly!

Some vegans don't have issues with eggs, so where does anyone draw the line?

If you eat eggs, you aren't a vegan. Vegan means no animal products like milk, cheese, butter, and the like. Eggs are squarely in that category. Even some vegetarians won't eat eggs. Of course, my dad had a "vegetarian" phase where he "only ate fish." So i see where you're coming from. People are dumb.

If you eat eggs you are not vegan.

Eggs arent vegan............

Ultimately eggs are vegan anyway. Commercial eggs never undergo a fertilisation process.

Eggs aren't vegan, fertilization is irrelevant.

The conditions battery hens are kept in are horrendous. If you witnessed it it would likely make you think twice about supporting that industry. Not to mention the male chicks being ground up alive.

Marie, being vegan isn't the same as being vegetarian. Vegans don't believe in eating any products that come from animals. That not only includes eggs (fertilized or not), but also milk and even honey. They believe that eating these things amounts to exploiting animals.

EGGS ARE NOT VEGAN!!!!

Because it's their wedding and she's a guest? Is it that hard for people to accommodate others for one single day without getting in a big strop that their needs weren't catered for? It's not about her. It wouldn't have been hard not to include the eggs

The caterer was capable, but OP didn't trust her. That is OP's problem and not the groom and bride, who did what they could to accommodate her. It wouldn't have been hard to bring a meal that didn't contain animal products, or at least not in such a blatant way like putting the eggs on top of the salad.

Random, it wasn't a professional caterer, as stated in the post. If I had a life threatening food allergy, that would be a giant red flag for me.

The post actually didn't say they were unprofessional.

Hazel, read it again. She specifically gave the reason why she was uncomfortable with the caterers was because they were not professionals.

Squid kills me. I get this woman. Its a severe allergy and should be respected. Im not trusting aswell, i mean i will die.. thats not a risk im willing to take

I'd say the op should have expected that she would be expected to bring vegan food to a vegan wedding. It's just common sense.

It's hilarious how you assume everyone who is critisizing OP is vegan. No, not all of us are. I just think what she did was disrespectful and she could have brought a meal that wasn't offensive to the bride at her own wedding.

Listen to what you're saying. "She could have brought a MEAL that wasn't offensive to the bride." The meal was for her own consumption. If the bride chooses to take offense, that's on her.

Even a professional caterer can mess up and cross contamination is so sudden. Only way to be sure is to make the food yourself.

Don't know why you think, op isn't important to them. Maybe they couldn't afford a professional caterer

Also, it was a vegan wedding. If they didn't have enough money, how did they afford all the vegan items. Red lipstick that wasn't made from beetles, nothing from China(most products from China require animal testing), no real flowers because that can harm bees pollination, not driving a car ran on petrol, you know, or else if wouldn't be a true vegan wedding, right?

I didn't say OP wasn't important, but if it was someone more important (like I said, mother-in-law) the bride wouldn't have cared. Why? Because usually the mother-in-law makes or breaks a relationship. Most brides try to make the mother-in-law the happiest person there, while they don't really care as much about how the siblings, aunts, and cousins feel about them.

Please, tell me, how is steak or chicken worse than eggs, or more disrespectful?

Eggs are vegetarian, meat is not. Meat=dead animal. Eggs=animal product that is not an alive being, and chickens lay them evey 12hrs.

So hateful.

That is the Dumbest stuff I've ever heard,how dare you compare that to true racism, I don't see vegans being linched or shot for being vegans .So your comment shows how ignorant you truly are.Your the A-H today stupid.and yes you are a karen

Europe isn't a country and I really think you'd be able to feed a toddler vegan here. But you need to do it right, which is hard. A lot of vegan kids end up undernourished.

Maybe in the eyes of the law, but it is not actually child abuse.

So you can't just have a single meal without meat? Wow.

Democrats are MUCH more morally reprehensible than Republicans could ever think of being, and if you're one of those blind, hate fueled, hypocritical, vile fcks you're willfully ignorant and don't deserve the platform you've rápêd, tortured, and killed for. Sincerely, an independent.

Good lord, Gonzo. That is way out of line. Democrats have "raped , killed and tortured?" And, no, I don't believe you are an Independent.

Gonzo look at you trying to make America great Again! 🙄
