Christmas with non-vegans

Apologies if this specific thing has already been ranted about (probably has) but it just grinds my gears so much.

Get asked at the dinner table why vegan and not just vegetarian as eggs and dairy don’t kill animals. I took the opportunity to educate in that veganism is not just about animal death but about causing no harm/exploitation/cruelty to animals at all and unfortunately the egg and dairy industries are all of the above and in fact they do result in animal death because male calves are taken away and killed for veal, and male chicks are literally blended alive because they aren’t useful to the egg industry. I then get told “let’s not talk about this when we’re eating”. While. They’re. Eating. Meat.

Genuinely the mind boggles.
