Everyone is entitled to their dietary preferences.
There werent many problems with the niece, whom the OP in the post called Kate.
Except for one food.
More specifically, her being vegan.
The OPs family is obsessed with dairy.
And so, usually, their meals in one way or another include it or any other non-vegan food.
That meant that Kate needed separate dishes anytime they wanted to cook anything non-vegan.
But Kates mother refused to do so.
Kate started buying all the products from her pocket money.
But the cooking was still done by the aunt.
And she didnt like that she had to make two versions of every meal: vegan and non-vegan.
So, she snapped and told Kate she could cook for herself.
Then, when the aunt had a barbeque dinner with friends, the niece ate salad.
The salad was meant to have chicken added to it.
So, without chicken, it was very basic.
And the niece got upset over the fact that she had nothing else to eat but the basic salad.
The OP repeated that she could cook for herself, which made her niece even more upset.
Kate called her mom and complained about how the aunt didnt give her any good meals.
And that shes expected to fend for herself.
The mother called the OP to yell about how her daughter is not loved enough and is intentionally excluded.
This prompted the woman to write on Reddit to ask who was in the wrong here.
First, plant-based diets have a lot of health benefits.
Also, some protein from animal-based products, like red meat, have questionable effects on health.
So some people tend to avoid it by basing their diet on plants.
Others dont believe humans need animal sources of food to survive at all.
Then, others just worry about animal welfare or even are disgusted by the idea of eating living things.
Or they worry about the environment and what effect a non-vegan diet has on it.
While some just have a preference for not eating meat or dairy products.
Most people online decided that the girl was quite spoiled.
After all, her aunt is not her private chef.
Plus, shes an adult and can cook for herself.
Some even wondered what she would do if she had to live in the dorm.
What would you do if you were in the OPs place?
What would she do in the dorm?
