Another question from a newbie. How do you all handle going to someone
else's house for Thanksgiving dinner (or any other meal)? Do you bring
along a microwavable container filled with your oen vegan meal and ask
to use the microwave? Or do you just eat whatever you can from the
meal that's served? If it's thanksgiving, it'd be nice to have some
mock turkey, so how do you handle it? I don't want to offend, but also
don't want to compromise.

Thanks. I'm sure this is a common question, so sorry to bore anyone.

As a vegan, eating and communing at Thanksgiving with non-believers requires
a lot of strategy. First, prepare lots of vegan literature and condemn your
hosts loudly for their violations of your philosophy. They do not know what
harm and suffering they are causing to the animal world and their health so
you must educate them. When the turkey leg is raised to mouth, jump up and
make a speech as to why eating that turkey leg is bad and how evil your
hosts are for doing so. In general, make yourself as big of a pain as you
can and demand compliance with your beliefs, or better yet, completely
denounce your friends and leave if they do not cater to you specially.
