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

0:30.3

friends of about 20 people, and there are a few of us that switch off cooking dinner on Thanksgiving

0:34.8

for whoever's in town. Now ever since my friend who we will

1:04.3

but she insisted that we eat vegan while at her house. She declared that vegan food tastes

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
