it's rude to refuse a gift. they might feel insulted

Maybe it's not that easy for OP to choose another family?

Actually it is. Layaway.

You're right, thinking is easy. Maybe you should try it. You don't know OP's situation well enough to make that conclusion.

74- neither do you. none of us know the exact situation that OP is in. hell for all we know this FML could be made up.

yeah, vegans eat the food my food needs!

I somewhat agree. being on such a complex diet you really need to think twice about imposing your nutritional needs on others. as an example we once had a vegan girl stay with us, my mom almost bought soy milk (big no no since cowhide is generally used as filtering) and ricemilk cheese (had casin) so even a well meaning family could certainly mess up when buying groceries.

um, who told you soya milk is filtered through cowhide? i have 1. never heard that said 2.just googled it and cant find it written anywhere. and 3. seen the words 'suitable for vegans' printed on every carton of soya milk produced in the uk, which wouldn't be there if that were true. also, wtf is casin (a similar googling came up with casinos) i dont think that girl was vegan so much as a compulsive liar :P

Maybe she meant rennet?

Exactly. Chickens aren't animals. This is why I dislike some vegetarians: If you give up meat for the mistreatment of animals, whats the difference between one and the other? Ridiculous.

You are a lousy vegetarian.

Don't make assumptions. It just so happens that typically, white meat is easier on the stomach than red for those who have not consumed meat over an extended period of time.

As a vegetarian, you just don't eat it. It's not like they'll shove it down your throat. It will make OP's stay there pretty uncomfortable though.

I do agree that OP should just tell them that they're vegan and refuse the meat, but I don't know what kind of situation they're in, so I guess I can't say. If it was me, I'd politely refuse. A while ago, due to anaemia, my doctor tried to get me to eat meat (I didn't; I took supplements instead.) and he recommended I start with white meat, which is why I made the suggestion. Also, vegan cheesecake is disgusting.

Here's the thing: If it's for beliefs based on the treatment of animals, not diet, it doesn't matter: Eating a chicken strip is as bad as eating a steak. If it's dietary, then you're right. But that's why I specified OP's seems to be a matter of beliefs based on the fact that they included that they must kill the animal themselves.

It's a known fact though that it is physically more difficult to digest red meat than white. It's not just a vegetarian belief thing here. If you haven't eaten red meat in a really long time, and you throw an 8oz steak at your colon, it's not going to be pleasant. However if you haven't eaten meat in a really long time and you eat chicken, physically, your body won't react as badly. I think she was suggesting OP try to eat white meat instead of red because it's easier to digest if OP were to go through with it. Not because of any vegetarian beliefs.

I agree with all of those points and must inform you, I am also playing GTA 4.

you seem mad brother.
