Half the fun of vacation is getting to eat whatever you want. Damn.

I would say good for you and continue with my meal. I don't usually humor people grasping for attention.
With the exception of India, I can't off the top of my head where vegan or vegetarian food is a must try vacation food.
I would feel extremely grateful that someone went out of their way to accommodate my entirely optional and self-imposed dietary restrictions.
He's copying from that youtuber who says ''If you eat with me you eat vegan'' and goes nuts when they don't.
Listen to this.

Same thing. Your sis was just more sane about it.

I'm confused by this attitude. Would you not be grateful that someone though enough of you to make a separate meal to accommodate your needs? And vegan bro couldn't even bring himself to eat with the rest of the group? Give me a fucking break.
Being that eating vegan is a lifestyle choice, 100% of the responsibility falls on you. Any level of accommodation should be seen as a courtesy. I would not expect folks to accommodate my keto diet. If I attend a dinner party, I will politely explain that I'm on a restricted diet, and eat just the foods that I'm able to.

But I don't see the responses you'd get for those subjects in this thread.
This is all down to common sense. If you're vegan, you eat vegan food. If you're not, then you might eat meat. Most people on this earth eat meat regardless of the shitty meat industries.
And unless you were born vegan, you must know other people eat meat. If you know this and can't stand to stomach others eating it, then maybe, just maybe, it'd be a good idea to let others know before you sit down and leave because they are consuming what most people on this earth eat.
I'm happy he and others he made the choice to live healthier and be morally clean (in their view) but I sure as hell wouldn't walk out of an all vegan dinner just because there was no meat.
It goes both ways man. I know plenty of vegans. None of them walk out from the dinner table because I'm digging on swine.

Just skewered five pounds worth of pork loin, about to be grilled. God is good.

Perfect description. Fits like a glove.
That's like me dating a girl who's athiest and then when we go hang out with her religious family, ask them to not pray or quote the bible for the entire week.
Vegans, the first consumers of almond milk playing the climate change card. That's cute.
Tell me how acting like a dick on your in-laws' house helps fight climate change please.
And on the Internet (here in particular); it doesn't go both ways, it's bashing one and general having to defend ourselves on the other.
Logically percentage wise there are shitloads more meat eaters, you see a handful of Vegans being smug, imagine how that ramps up from our side?

Lmao he's trying to seem so calm but is failing so hard.
Nah, could've said he's not feeling well or that he has to go to the bathroom. Ruining someone's dinner(intentionally) is just unnecessary.

My stepbrother is a holier than thou Vegan who during the holidays would end up bringing his own pots/pans/utensils because he can't eat anything that might once have touched an animal by product.
even worse that he left the parents dinner table
Just so people know, Gary Yorousky is a massive sociopath, racist cunt. A skid mark of a human being who sadly has an audience among vegans who have been vegan for 5 minutes and have a convert's zeal.
Making the point that he couldn't eat around others consuming dead fish was a bit much though, don't you think? I mean the person presumably lives in the real world in which the majority of people eat meat or fish on a daily basis. It sounds like he wanted to assert his perceived moral superiority rather than just quietly wanted to leave a situation he was uncomfortable with.

This is an important question. Did he honestly "declare" it out loud to the entire table, or did he kinda just look uncomfortable, told you his gripe and then move outside?
If the former, holy shit, he's an asshole. If the latter, that's an awkward situation that would require an annoying amount of handholding.

I have vegan coworkers who are great people with great intent. They're smart enough to know to respect the way people eat without being preachy or pushy, and they get respect in return.
The guy in the OP is a disrespectful prick, so that's what he gets in return.

She's still your sister. Respect her choice of lifestyle, but make it perfectly clear that next time they come to dinner a separate table will be prepared for them, and only for them.

People think I'm being morally superior from what I've said so far. And all I'm rrally saying is that I'd very much like for me and my friends/family to enjoy a meal (the same) meal, together.
But as soon as people learn you're vegan, they think you're angry and out to get their bacon. I'm not, I was just sharing my -thoughts- around being at dinners, and people explode like I expect the entire world to follow my every wish.
Which is probably partly my fault. I get enthusiastic about things I care about, and then I word myself quickly, and bam, someone thinks I'm raging.
And don't get me started on the jokes. They're only funny so many times. I heard "meat is murder, tasty murder" for the first time over 20 years ago. I still get told that one like I'm supposed to hear it for the first time.

Id be mildly amused while I eat my food.
Huh, what are you talking about? A plant-based diet is scientifically proven to have a lower carbon footprint than any other diet. It goes a long way in reducing greenhouse gases, deforestation, and destruction to our coral reefs.

lmao. He's crazy.
You know how you can tell someone is full of themselves? When they label a video on their channel Gary Yourofsky - The Most Important Speech You Will Ever Hear about a speech they gave.
It even continues to the video description they themselves typed about themselves in the third person
That's pretty.. Smart (making or bringing food). That way no one even has to make a special dish that might not even turn out. Cut some extra work and stress out of the family's schedule
That act alone isn't necessarily "I'm better than you", but I don't know anymore about him.

Yup. While I adore animals, this is what ultimately convinced me to go vegan. The environmental effects of meat production and dairy production are staggering.

Putting aside his immaturity and dickishness for a second, why would someone take such a stand against others eating fish?
I can understand getting upset about consuming pig/chicken/stuff that's grown in inhumane conditions, but fish? It likely lived a full life and didn't suffer upon its death, so what's the issue for these people? I totally get not eating fish yourself for your own vegan-based reasons, but to actually get offended at someone else eating fish.. god damn.
oh no won't somebody think of the fishes.. and when that person does think of the fish for a millisecond, it will be more substantial than anything that fish has thought its entire life.

Eh. I think there are a significant number of posters on this forum who would agree with the statement: "I don't wanna sit at a table with Trump supporters."
And that's fine.
I'd agree with them.
Not that I'm defending OP's brother-in-law here.
Dude's a tool.
No it's not. A plant-based diet can actually have a larger carbon footprint depending on the plants in question, almonds being one of them. Almonds are one of the most environmentally wasteful foodstuffs you can grow of any kind, plant or animal.
Yeah, no kidding.
My brother and his wife went on vacation with us a couple years ago.
She demanded that they pick all the food to fit their diets and refused to eat anything I picked out.(Note: I paid for the ENTIRE week at the beach house). I still picked some things for myself that they didn't want. At the register my sister-in-law asked the cashier to split the bill 50/50. I literally laughed in disbelief and said "No...do not split that." I couldn't believe she had the nerve...we didn't even discuss that possibility. She stayed pissed the whole week due to me not paying for half of their groceries she demanded we buy. Bought my own food for the whole week the next day.
They're were supposed to pay part of the cost for the rental too before leaving, didn't offer me a dime.
They're not invited anymore unless they pay up front. This year's vacation was great.

I've dealt with this before. More power to them. I think thats fair if they don't want anything touching animal byproduct. My vegan/veggie friends always ask to grill their own stuff before all the meat touches the grill which is nice of them.
I think us meat eaters shouldn't be dicks about it like OPs brother in law. lol
I'd say anyone going to a dinner prepared by their spouse's parents who stands up to let everyone know they won't eat with a Trump supporter and goes outside is also being childish.

You're in my house and you can't even have the respect to eat diner together? Fuck off, you can leave.
If this was somewhere else, I'd say they are acting ridiculous, but won't make a bigger deal about it, not my place then.
