Veganismgets a bad rep because of those select few agenda-pushers, ruining it for the remaining 99%. Sadly, the bandwagon is only reserved for theone-percenters, apparently. As such, we have stories like this.
A vegan woman recentlypulled offa semi-public display of vomiting, making her boyfriend’s family (and her boyfriend) feel hella grossed out all because the family thought feeding her meat will be asick prank, bro.
Knock it off.
Sadly, some folks don’t really get understand the intricacies of drastically changing your diet

Like this family, who thought it would be funny to feed a vegan of 10 years meat, who one-upped their joke back at them

In the end, everyone was mad to a varying degree, and a kid felt sick to her stomach too

The story goes that Redditor u/purpldingo shared how her boyfriend’s family thought it would be a good idea to feed her meat. They were always against her stance on dietary choices in life, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary.
What was, however, was the fact that they laced thespaghetti saucewith meat, all the while claiming it’s a vegetarian family recipe. She thought the meal was weird, but she played along.
Well, once she found out—after the dad made a grand evil masterplan reveal—she simply excused herself and forced the food out. Otherwise, she would’ve been forced to force the food out through every available crevice. Cruel is our digestive system.
Well, nobody enjoyed the open display offood expulsionin the toilet. So much, in fact, that one of the kids in the family harmonized with OP.
For context, vegans don’t lose their ability to digest meat over time—rather, they need to pace the reintroduction

The way digestion works is food is introduced to the stomach and then appropriate enzymes and other processing bio-power is thrown into the mix to tackle the food.
Because vegans limit themselves to certain types of foods, which require a bit less exertion in terms of digesting energy and resources, reintroducing meat means the body needs to suddenly pull its weight around.
As such, if you throw in too much on the first go, the body will feel overwhelmed and chaos will ensue.Instead, if vegans want to reintroduce meat into their diets, they ought to start with poultry, which is a lighter meat.
And what happens if youoverdo it? OP explained it better than any textbook does, so stay cautious!
So, we’d love to hear from you! Do you have any digestive or vegan or upchucking stories to illustrate a point? Share your takes and experience in the comment section below!

There were two major takes on the situation, the first of which was that the woman was not at fault because the family sucks
Others played devil’s advocate andadvocatedthat everyone sucks because everyone could’vesimply not, ya know
