Involuntary vegan? I would not be remotely good with that. While I want to respect individual choices, shouldn't you be making your own choices? Why should she be dictating you?

Keep in mind that humans evolved as omnivores. Also cooking food was hugely important. We are not evolved to eat only uncooked food. So anyone who tries to claim we shouldn't eat cooked food, or we should not eat meat hasn't a clue about human evolution. Personal choices are one thing. Dictating to others, not so much.

So eat what works for you, including meat. She can do what she wants, that's fine. But you should also do what you want, and she should NOT be dictating your behavior or food choices.
