Vegan diets that are well-planned adhere to healthy eating principles and include all the nutrients our bodies require. Although it is not the only motivation for turning vegan, it is the main reason many people decide to become and remain vegan.

While many people think that all sentient beings have a right to life and freedom, having emotional attachments to animals may constitute a portion of that justification. Regardless of the specifics, abstaining from animal products is one of the most straightforward methods to oppose animal abuse and exploitation worldwide.

So imagine this scenario: You've just finished a 12-hour shift, and you're ravenously hungry and eager for the food you've planned for yourself. Your stepdaughter, a recent convert to veganism, then decides she doesn't enjoy her vegan dinner and wants your non-vegan dish instead!

How would you respond? Well, the internet is buzzing with one stepdad's answer to a similar circumstance, and we'll dive straight into the story.

Thus, after a long day at work, the stepdad merely wants to enjoy his non-vegan lunch, while the stepdaughter suddenly demands his food when she doesn't like her vegan alternative. The stepdaughter throws a full-blown tantrum and gets into a heated debate with her mother when the stepdad declines.

The OP writes:

They had vegan spaghetti meat balls

The OP prepared his own meal

Now the step daughter wants the OP's food

The OP was starving after a twelve hours shift

OP's food was not vegan so he refused to give it up

OP's step daughter became even more rude and insistent

Then she had a tantrum about it which led to her mom getting involved

The OP woke to.find his bowl of food untouched

The OP is at a total loss here so he's asking...

Going vegan is a fantastic way to enhance your diet and learn more about nutrition and cookery. Getting your nutrition from plant foods frees up more space in your diet for foods that are good for you and promote health, such as whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds, and veggies, which are bursting with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Who is actually to blame for this dinnertime drama? Let's find out what the online community thinks about this scenario.

She's old enough to know better

That is a problem for her

The OP was absolutely not the AH

She did not even eat the food

The OP weren't on a desert Island making a decision

OP's actions just promoted his stepdaughter's behavior

This Redditor wants to know if this is legal

OP's wife should have covered his dish

This seems like a bigger issue

A behavior expected from a toddler

It's simply...

Not getting fed every two hours

We're all aware of methods to lead greener lives, from recycling our household trash to riding our bikes to work. Avoiding all animal products is among the best things a person can do to reduce their carbon footprint.

This issue clearly extends far beyond what the OP listed as it makes no sense that the food ended not being eaten. Drop your thoughts about this story in the comments below.
