At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don’t have vegan food. They’re very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural.
I’m in a lot of pain which makes me really irritable. I really didn’t need to be made to gag with the meat.
Last time I was in a hospital they would throw meat into my food as well making sure it touched everything so I wasn’t able to eat the veggies without the corpse taste.
I don’t get why people are so malicious about it. I’m trying not to cry not to give them satisfaction. I am vegan for moral reasons. This is extremely uncomfortable.
I’m sorry but your take doesn’t feel rooted in reality. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a hospital but you seldom ever see doctors. I am just trying to limit how much they hurt me (some are clearly sadistic). I just won’t eat if they refuse to give me real food. Thankfully I have a banana.
Nah. Hospitals cater to vegetarians all the time. If you want your dietary needs accommodated then you need to be respectfully assertive and not act like you’re being victimized. Maybe don’t throw the food on the floor (that’s a last resort), but hospitals should - and will - accommodate vegetarian diets, you just have to find the right way and person to make the request.
Why are you speaking of vegetarian diets on a vegan community.
Fuck off with the victim blaming of a person who is trying to survive and is literally in a hospital.
The fuck you mean “act like you’re being victimized”? This is an attack. They’re a victim.
I don’t think they were trying to be judgmental just trying to clarify that asserting it from a place of hostility would be less effective.
