I hate that my son is Vegan!

My 18 year old son who identifies as as bi-gender (whatever the hell that is) is a hard core vegan. Doesn’t eat anything with a face. And he is so hard up about preaching the health benefits of veganism to everyone. Been like this for over a year. My annoyance is that it’s taken all the joy out of eating with him. It’s awkward at holidays because he only eats vegetables, it’s awkward during family dinners, he won’t go out to eat at a restaurant, and on the extremely rare occasion we do he always packs his food, he also packs his food if he is going somewhere with friends like canes or chick-fil-a which is weird in itself. He won’t eat any processed foods, just nuts, beans, tofu and fruits and veggies. I recently went to Trader Joe’s and got him lentil soup on a can that was vegan and he won’t eat it cause he says there’s too many chemicals in it. I also got him vegan raviolis there and he won’t eat that either because he says it’s not natural enough. I also bought some baguettes at Costco and he won’t eat that because there were too many ingredients in it that he couldn’t pronounce. Oddly enough we took him to get his labs run to make sure he wasn’t deficient in any one area and his labs came back astoundingly perfect!

I will add that he does cook and does make his own food. He also has a job. However he is in community college and often asks us to make him something to eat. It’s just tricky because we cook a lot of meat and chicken and also have to make separate stuff for him.
