"Social obligation" to eat meat? WTF even is that?

[killertofuuu]

Probably Thanksgiving/some other holiday, or religious reasons. Or eating it among family/peers as to not seem rude. Or maybe not it's an "obligation" so much as it's not worth the energy to resist in some situations? I'm not sure what OP's exact reasons are, but I can kind of relate. Maintaining a strict diet can be, or at least seem extremely difficult at times, especially if you've got depression/anxiety/etc.

Why is that hard to imagine? A situation where refusing food would be too awkward and rude to bother with. For an extreme (but real) example, hospitality on a service trip in a foreign country. Your host works hard putting together a nice meal, with no concept of vegetarianism, and features a meat dish made especially for you. Maybe doesn't even speak English. Rejecting that just feels like a horrible thing to do, unless you literally have an allergy and will die.

I ate meat once on long, 14-hour plane ride coming out of Asia. I had booked my tickets through a third-party website and while I had requested a vegetarian meal online, the (Asian) airline hadn't gotten the message. So when I was served chicken, I had two options. Eat it, or starve and let the food go to waste, since no one else was going to eat it and uneaten food was going straight in the trash bin. I chose to eat it and not let the animal die in vain. Got sick, threw up, but also think I made the right choice.
