When the Crowd Speaks, It Echoes Loudly:
The thread exploded with reactions. Whether agreeing or disagreeing, everyone had something to say — and they said it loud.
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 diet 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.
Should the father prioritize his daughter's deeply felt ethical need for a completely separate food space to avoid distress, even if it means significantly altering his own habits in his own home, or is the daughter's request an overreach, demanding that the majority adapt to the minority's lifestyle choices within a shared domestic environment?
