Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.

I love weddings but they are awful at catering for vegan guests. The one I'm at currently even had us select vegan on the RSVP but the only option here is a basic lettuce salad. Now I'm gonna have to leave early so I can eat something.

I'm only about 8 months in on full vegan but so far eating in almost any group setting just sucks.

Disclaimer: I work with the local Dem club and am a "member" but I hate it here...

I'm somewhat larping as the "young reformist guy" with them because they have no idea how to communicate with or get younger people to votes. Doesn't help that we are is a deep red city in a deep red state.

In any case I've been trying to do more stuff with them now that I am jobless and bored and considering trying to run for something because fuck it I ain't got anything else going on, but I've been going to there monthly group dinners and a few of them kind of know what I can eat. I look up the menu beforehand to not make a huge scene, for wherever they are going. So far both times have ended up with animal ingredients. I'm torn on if I should keep going at this point.

First time I got the drunken noodles and said I wanted tofu and no animal stuff. It came with egg in it and my food waste anxiety triggered and I just picked out the egg best I could.

Second time I got veggie spaghetti and said no animal stuff again, and it came with parm... I hate it but I ended up just eating it to not make a scene. But like, what the fuck?

And yeah no, I'm upset about choosing to eat it with cheese but like here's the kicker, I mentioned it to the server. She said it has no cheese in it. I was like "well it's melty and stringy so..."

She comped me a beer in the end "just in case there was a mess up"

They had a dinner event for I think Beto and they went way out of their way to have a vegetarian option... like why not just go all the way and accommidate a larger group instead of alienating the ones that actually care about animals and the environment?

One of them proudly exclaimed at the first dinner above that he doesn't eat meat, and then ordered salmon and I just can't with that lol but that's another story for another day.

Sorry for the ramble. I guess what OP said sparked commiseration? for those of you that have been doing this way longer than I have?

How do you navigate in such a meat-based world lol.
