I agree. I can understand someone choosing a vegan lifestyle, which comes with some surprising health benefits for those who can balance their diet properly. And as far as catering to vegetarian/vegan company, most vegs are pretty easygoing about what they're offered, they're used to living in a meat-eating world and probably won't judge your attempt at a meatless dish. If they make a stink about what's offered to them, either they're already just picky bastards that like to complain or they're mad at themselves for not preparing accordingly.
But even as someone who eats omnivorously, I still have an appreciation for a lot of vegan cuisine and often have days where not a single meal involves meat. It's not because I'm anti-meat on certain days or even pro-vegetarian, it's simply from listening to my body and feeling when I need (or don't need) certain foods. Maybe that has come with age, maybe it's a gift, maybe it's bullshit! But does anyone else get really strong cravings for certain foods at certain times but not because of their flavor/texture? Honest question.
