(23,545 posts)Personally, I can't imagine cooking meat for anyone. I will buy meat products for my 80 year old mom and no one else. That is as close as I go to that.
But, for me 32 years vegetarian and now 2 years vegan I know that my choice is to be vegan. When I go to someone's home I eat the salad and bread and hope they didn't put a bunch of cheese in the salad or ranch dressing because then I got nothing. But, being vegan is my choice as is the choice not to cook animal products. Sometimes I eat before I go if I think there might not be food for me. Yeah, it's frustrating. But, it's my choice and I do it for the animals not for me or my friends and family. So at these events if people have nothing for me they feel bad and that is ok. It's about socializing. I do wish everyone was vegan. But, that's not our world.
