I just found out that a girl I recently started dating is a vegan. She doesn't eat dairy (like cheese) and nothing from animals. I mean eat meat almost everyday. Is it ok for me to eat meat in front of her?

Why not use it as an opportunity to eat a more healthy diet? She probably feels that meat and dairy consumption causes a lot of suffering to animals. I would educate myself to see where she is coming from. Here is a video to get you started:

A good book to read on the subject is Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation".

Some vegans would hate this and others wouldn't mind so your best bet is to ask her.

Hi, Yes I would say go ahead and eat what you want, I am sure she would not want you to change just because of her.

It always strikes me as odd though as most people who call them selves vegans and will not eat anything from animals still wear leather either with it being shoes, coats belts or even make-up as some of this is also from animals, so discuss it with her and see just how strong she feels about it.

Its something that you are going to have to ask her chances are she is fine with it. If she is not you might want to look at if you can spend forever with her and not eat meat.

Good luck

thatgothgirl20 agony auntAbsolutely. If she is able to eat foods in front of you without you judging her, then you should be able to do the same with her. If you are still unsure, just ask.

Hope this helps,

Amanda

In this case it would be best to ask her how she feels about you eating meat. Some vegans are ok with it and other vegans will basically accuse you of murdering that animal to eat its flesh.
