I’ve seen couples make it work. The guy gets to learn all about these really delicious vegan curries. The woman finds out how much meat gets thrown in the trash and maybe doesn’t feel so bad when her husband rescues a prime rib or a sea bass filet or a dozen scallops the size of your fist from getting chucked in the dumpster at the end of the shift.
A lot of vegans see animals as deserving of the same dignity as pets or humans. With this mindset the “thrown away” meat is about as much of a waste as burying your grandma instead of eating her.
This is a false equivalence. We regularly “throw away” remains (by burying or incinerating them) that could have been donated to science or organs that could have been donated to patients in need. Eating discarded meat seems more morally equivalent to ensuring that grandma is an organ donor. It’s not as if discarded meat in a landfill or buried Grandma’s in a cemetery are contributing in any meaningful way back to the ecosystem.

Is that a Shel Silverstein poem? Give real Mr Speds and Mr Spats vibes.

Not really it’d be like eating grandma when you can just go buy something else. Organ donation saves lives and is essential, eating flesh is not.
She was dry as a bone. Maybe a broth
