Picture this: You’re born into a family that believes in a vegan lifestyle, a philosophy that extends beyond just food. You’re okay with it, but as you grow older, you start to feel like an outsider, especially when you’re hanging out with friends. You yearn for a bite of that juicy burger or a slice of pepperoni pizza. Now, fast forward a few years, and your younger sibling is going through the same experience. What do you do? Stick with the family rules or give them a taste of the ‘forbidden fruit’? This is the predicament our protagonist, the ‘Defiant Big Sis’, found herself in. Let’s dive into her story.

A Meaty Dilemma: Vegan Rules vs Sibling Solidarity
Our protagonist, the ‘Defiant Big Sis’, finds herself in a sticky situation. Raised in a strictly vegan household, she’s always felt like an outsider due to her dietary restrictions. Now, her younger sister is experiencing the same struggle. When the sister requests a meat dish during a celebratory dinner, ‘Defiant Big Sis’ obliges, leading to an explosive reaction from their parents. While they disapprove of her non-vegan lifestyle, they insist their younger daughter should stick to veganism till she’s 18. But ‘Defiant Big Sis’ believes that at 16, her sister is old enough to make her own dietary choices. As the debate heats up, let’s see what the internet has to say about this family feud.
