From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food

A while ago, Miss Manners had a column about vegans hosting a party for non-vegans, and most of us who are vegetarian or vegan strongly disagreed with her advice! I got a similar email query from a reader, and I'm hoping that some of you will be able to offer her some advice or insight, whether you're vegetarian or vegan, or not.

Should you cook meat for others? Do you?

Here's an email I received from a reader. Chime in, and offer some advice:

 I am a vegan and my son and husband are vegetarians. Our young son is having a birthday this weekend and we are having a party with our extended family. I am planning on serving all vegan food (veggie dogs in a blanket, hummus and carrot sticks, pasta salad, etc.) My father-in-law and mother feel that this is unfair to the meat eaters that will be attending. I don't think it's right for them to expect us to ignore our moral standards to purchase and prepare meat for them... Is it unfair to expect meat-eaters to attend a meat-free party? 

What do you think?
