I believe in an "expanding circle of us," but a chicken egg is not my moral equal.
  • Be a vegan for a week

    LW, you've been friends since 1968 and you haven't hashed this subject out with her yet? If it hasn't come up and/or been resolved in nearly 40 years, it isn't going to come up and/or be resolved in this meeting, either.

    What makes you think she's going to "demand" you defend your eating habits? That's kind of dramatic, isn't it? I have to wonder if maybe deep down you aren't feeling a little guilty about eating animals, after all.

    Personally, I think it's kind of nice to adjust to your friends when it's their turf. So eat vegan with her for a few days. It wouldn't kill you and she'd probably really appreciate it.
