They say that vegans will always be sure to tell you they’re vegan, but apparently, some vegetarians will too. Dietary preferences are a personal choice, but after one woman pretended to be vegan to befriend a colleague, her plan blew up in her face.

Below, you’ll find the full story that the woman’s boyfriend recently shared on the “Am I the Jerk?” subreddit, detailing how these two women who don’t eat meat managed to have beef with one another, as well as an interview with Emese from My Pure Plants.

After meeting a vegan coworker she wanted to befriend, one woman decided to bend the truth about her eating habits

But the charade couldn’t last forever, as her boyfriend eventually became fed-up

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago.
I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

To be honest, "Sheila" sounds like someone I'd probably go out of my way to avoid.

Not sure how my comment will be perceived this time around, but, my own personal opinion has me thinking Sheila and Michaela were in the wrong here; Sheila for being so rude and not as accepting as others who have different views or lifestyles, instead of looking past it and just getting to know (and trying to like) them for the kind of people they are (including Michaela and boyfriend). Michaela is in the wrong too, for misleading Sheila and going along with a game that she knew was childish and could backfire on her; besides that, she had no problem with Sheila passing obnoxious comments about their eating habits, and let her talk down on her bf, which is way wrong. The bf was only in the wrong for doing it publicly instead of privately, it’s mostly Sheila who sounds like a jerk. Even if somebody doesn’t share your lifestyle choices, it never hurts to look past the difference(s) and get to know the person. If you’re genuine, you’ll accept them for who they are if they’re genuine too.

Also, I was brought up to behave politely while a guest in someone else's home, not to insult my host's food or lifestyle. That's unforgivable, imo.

This is serious. I wouldn't be mad at her for "insulting our food" or such, but for faking not only a mere dietary choice, but a result of ethical consideration. Being a vegan is, primarily at least, NOT about food, chosing different food just happens to be the most obvious result of it. Just ... don't lie at all, maybe? That's fairly easy. Also, every and any vegan I know even in the slightest bit sees vegetarians as our natural allies in a world that deliberately turns a blind eye on everything nonhuman, as if there was no suffering outside our own race or species or whatever arbitrary line is drawn. I'm not really ashamed to admit that I don't understand obnoxious fake-vegans ... should be more about actually being it than about displaying it anyway ... actually, I think that being a vegan is the most boring thing about me.

I've been a vegetarian for a long time. And I am more and more convinced of my choice, after reading some writings from Peter Singer. I try to eat vegan at least on some meals. Thank you for what you said about being allies, I very much agree
