The father finds himself in a difficult position, torn between supporting his daughter's strong new ethical commitment to veganism and maintaining his long-held family traditions regarding d*et and shared kitchen use.
His initial enthusiasm for supporting her has met a firm boundary set by the daughter regarding cross-contamination, which he feels requires an unreasonable adaptation from the entire family.
