According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 46 million turkeys are eaten on Thanksgiving. There’s one group of friends who are proud to contribute to that statistic. Up to 20 of them gather for Thanksgiving dinner every year, each taking turns to host at their homes. Even though one is a vegan, the rest have always managed to accommodate her with a few plant-based dishes.
But this year, their dinner plans have been turned upside down. The non-meat-eater is hosting and recently announced that the entire menu would be vegan. One of the women shared how a turkey is now threatening to ruin their long-term friendship. Bored Panda reached out to Hayley Cooper, CEO and founder of Wild Dreams Hospitality, for her take on the matter. She’s a vegan hospitality specialist who consults with restaurants and hotels around the world. We also spoke to Maisie Stedman from The Vegan Society.
