<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A friend is getting married. But like many non-vegetarians, she’s offering a feast of many sentient beings. Me being the only vegan in her entourage, has special arrangements prepared for. It was very nice of her to call to go through the vegetarian menu with me (as I don\u2019t take many mock stuff). Not many people will bother at all. I had been to several non-vegetarian wedding dinners, where the vegetarian dishes were not up to standard. The last one I attended had most of its eight dishes made mainly of a few kinds of shitake mushrooms. But why? There\u2019s certainly no shortage of vegetable varieties in Singapore. This only showed how uncreative and patronising the chef was.<\/p>\n
I really wish it\u2019s becoming a dying \u2018custom\u2019 for Chinese weddings to serve shark fin soup – one of the most cruel dishes in Chinese cuisine. Not only does it have no nutrition value, but how it’s derived is utterly brutal. Sharks are captured and de-finned, and tossed back to the sea to die a painful writhing death. I called up my friend the next day to dissuade her to drop shark fin if she\u2019s having it. Thank goodness, she was aware of the issue… although it\u2019s still not a \u2018perfect\u2019 celebration because of the number of other animals to be killed.<\/p>\n
I guess it\u2019s relatively rare to encounter a fully vegetarian wedding dinner… unless you have many like-minded friends. Sadly, there are some vegetarians who even choose to yield to family pressure to serve meat. It\u2019s even rarer to have non-vegetarians doing a full vegetarian wedding dinner. It\u2019s unthinkable that any celebration should involve intended killing. How can anyone rejoice when there is deliberate killing involved for one’s happy occasion? Please celebrate with kindness.<\/p>\n
