I bet being a vegan in Thanksgiving is like being a Jew on Christmas.

I used to have a vegan friend. She made me cake on Christmas and told me it was vegan. I tell her it's good, which it was and then she went off on a tangent about how no one had to die for me to enjoy it.
I was like "they will if you carry on"

Anyway, we're no longer friends and yes, she's alive.

don't they use butter in that?

When my company has large area training, I love hanging with one friend from NJ... but he's strict vegan and it's extremely annoying to find some place that has no meeting with no meat, butter or cheese, because one of those things like it's in every restaurant meal these days...

Those I talked to one of his co-workers out of the same building as him, and she's vegan too, but only when it's convenient... as she said, it's extremely easy to be vegan in their area, but hard to be elsewhere.

Why did you choose to be vegan
Was it by choice or were you forced to?

Like my diet has changed drastically. I eat a lot of vegan products now.

i make an exception and dibble on some man meat

No that is not true. You can eat quite well as a vegan on Thanksgiving. Lots of wonderful veggies, and you can make stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, nice breads, plenty of desserts.
