Vegan Ultimatum: Brother and Influencer Girlfriend Threaten to Boycott Thanksgiving Without Meat-Free Menu
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, one family’s holiday is already off to a tense start. A 31-year-old woman finds herself caught in a battle with her 35-year-old brother, Mark, and his influencer girlfriend, Pam, who are insisting on a meat-free Thanksgiving.
If she doesn’t agree to their demand for a vegan menu, they’re threatening not to attend the family gathering.
Mark’s journey into veganism began as a teenager after watching a documentary on factory farming, and since then, he’s embraced a militantly vegan lifestyle.
His sister recalls the tension he brought into the family with his attempts to convert everyone to vegetarianism, and one incident even involved him spamming her social media with graphic images after she chose a steakhouse for her birthday dinner.
Fast forward to today, and things haven’t calmed down. Pam, Mark’s influencer girlfriend, has seemingly fueled his vegan convictions even further.
Last Thanksgiving, Mark pressured their mother to prepare at least a vegetarian meal, claiming ethical grounds for their participation. Although their mother reluctantly agreed, the holiday meal was far from enjoyable.
Now, with their parents downsizing and facing health challenges, the pressure to make Thanksgiving harmonious is higher than ever.
But with Mark and Pam demanding a completely vegan Thanksgiving, the family is left to navigate the emotional turmoil of balancing holiday traditions and dietary differences.
