That Is Not Impossible Meat
You and your friend Greg share an apartment. Greg is a strict vegan and does not consume animal products, including meat, dairy, and even honey. You are not a vegan — in fact, you are not even a vegetarian — but you have always respected Greg’s passion for animal rights and his hard work to become a veterinarian. Before you and Greg decided to move in together, you had a frank conversation during which he told you that he would be uncomfortable having animal products in the apartment and wondered if you would be willing to eat a vegan diet in your shared space. You thought Greg would make a great roommate and you wanted the situation to work out, so you agreed. Besides, you figured you could always grab a cheeseburger on campus.
The arrangement has worked out rather well. You barely think about the food restrictions, except for when Greg’s girlfriend Amanda visits. Amanda is well aware of Greg’s desires and views, but you suspect that she finds them to be ridiculous and insulting. Sometimes you even feel that she is trying to bait you into complaining about Greg’s veganism so that the two of you can “gang up” on him in an effort to enact a change of behavior. You have tried to stay out of it, but one evening you arrive home to find Amanda alone in your living room, eating a container of pork fried rice — and we are not talking about a soy pork substitute. “Please don’t tell Greg,” she pleads. “I told him I’d hang out here until he’s done with class tonight and I got hungry. I can’t eat any of that tofu stuff in your refrigerator so I ordered takeout. Besides, you must think that his restrictions on what we eat here are crazy . . . don’t you?”
You feel annoyed by this conversation and want to mention it to Greg, but you also feel that Greg and Amanda’s communication and discussions about personal practices and group affiliations are their business, not yours. What should you do?
