| 0:00.0 | My entitled friend demands that we go vegan for Thanksgiving, claiming that if we're eating at her house for Thanksgiving, |
| 0:06.0 | then we're required to go 100% vegan, with no exceptions being allowed. |
| 0:10.0 | So, I decided to back out and accidentally start a movement amongst my friend group that resulted in everybody backing out of her stupid Thanksgiving dinner, |
| 0:18.0 | which then caused my vegan friend to freak out on me |
| 0:20.9 | and try to turn everybody against me. Here's what happened. Okay, so I have a friend who went |
| 0:25.3 | vegan about 10 years ago, and we've been friends for over 20 years now. We have a large group of |

| 1:09.1 | exactly the same as omnivore food. But guess what? |
| 1:11.9 | It definitely doesn't. I've been to her house and choked down bean burgers and chocolate cake |
| 1:16.3 | and probably a dozen other meals, each of which she insisted tasted just like the real thing. |
| 1:21.8 | She even tried to fool me once with a Beyond Burger, insisting that it was a real hamburger. |
| 1:26.5 | I have only found a limited number of |
| 1:28.1 | vegan dishes that I actually enjoy, and none of them have ever been made by her. So, after |
| 1:32.9 | thinking it over and discussing it with my husband, we decided to privately tell her that we were |
