How do you handle her/his parents if they are against veg*ism?

Well, my gut instinct is that it's none of their business and, if they want the two of you to visit as a couple, they can learn to live with it! But I know it's not always that easy...

Maybe there's a hidden agenda? Maybe they're worried you'll be a "bad influence" on younger relatives or something? Or maybe they just don't know how to cater for you? Sling some of those crazy tofu steaks on the barbie, and crack open some stubbies

Oh dear... that's a sticky one I usually cook my own food, since I have to watch my weight anyway and fit my meals around training It's a bit anti-social, but I think it's the only solution to living with non-vegans!

Anyway, they should be pleased their daughter is going out with a nice vegan

May be it's a good idea to try and educate them about all the benefits of being Vegan?
How it helps the environment etc..
