Should I tell my mom that my aunt made my sister eat meat?

My parents raised me and my younger sister as vegans. It seemed like our extended family was fine with it until yesterday.

Last night my sister and I slept over cousin's house. My aunt is 100% educated that we're vegans and always have been, but she continued to order cheese and pepperoni pizza for dinner. We were starving, and my sister (who is 8) asked if she could have some fruit. My aunt said "no, you don't need any of that! Just have some pizza! It's delicious!" while my cousins (who are 10 and 14) cheered her on as well.

Luckily I had already eaten before going to their house, but my sister gave in and ate pizza since she didn't have anything else to eat. Now this morning my aunt drove us to school. But my sister started vomiting this morning and had an extreme stomach ache, so she took my sister home after she dropped me off at school.

I got home from school today and my mom was freaking out because my sister suddenly got sick overnight. I know it's from eating cheese and meat; we've never had any non-vegan food before. I want to tell my mom that is why she is feeling so sick, but I don't want to start a big battle. What should I do?Should I tell my mom that my aunt made my sister eat meat?
Tell your other that your aunt gave you something that contains meat/cheese.

B
Tell your mom. Your mom has raised you a certain way and your Aunt should respect that and teach her children to respect it as well. I don't agree with your mother not letting you decide whether or not meat is right for you but I'm not going to stick a plate of meat in front of you with no other options but that. Your Aunt needs her butt kicked.Should I tell my mom that my aunt made my sister eat meat?
Yes, tell your mom.



This goes beyond what your sister eats or doesn't eat. She is sick, and your mother has a right to know what she has consumed for the past few meals. However, you don't KNOW it's from eating cheese or meat.



If there is a battle, your aunt started it. Not you.
Tell her, your moms not going to punish your sister, but that just proves that we don't really need that stuff. Im not going to lie a drink a little milk. But it is honestly meant for calves, not humans. Now for the meat, I haven't died yet, and I am highly active. and weight train getting all of the protein I need from plants.Should I tell my mom that my aunt made my sister eat meat?
Dude, tell your mom! You can't control whether there's a fight between your mom and aunt. Your sister is sick and you need to let your mom know why. Just say "She ate pizza.." And if she asks further questions answer them but if she doesn't then leave it at that.
You really need to tell your mom. You're aunt was very inconsiderate to your mother's wishes and your sister's too, since even she obviously knew that she should eat. (I say "should" lightly, just based on how you were raised)

Hope she feels better! x
It has to do with your sisters health, therefore it's of the utmost importance. Definitely tell her. Otherwise this could definitely happen again.
Yes, tell your mom! I know you don't want to get your sis in trouble, but she was basically backed into a corner by your aunt. Maybe this way your mom can deal with your aunt. Your aunt was rude!
You should definitely tell your mom, your sister isn't used to the non-vegan food!

Tell her ASAP and next time you go to your aunts house, pack food with you (just in case)!
Absolutely tell your mother!
You should definitely tell your mom. She should know why your sister is sick. Your aunt was wrong.
You need to inform your mom how your aunt was treating your sister.
Yeah, your aunt made your sister sick. You need to tell your mom.
No, that's none of her business.
tell her. that was very very wrong of her to do to you sister.
Tell her. She should know, and it wasn't right if your aunt to do that.
This is child abuse, Yes
Tell her. As a parent I wouldn't leave my children with someone who went against my wishes.
yes. tell her
tell her
tell her
I don't think you really have a choice - your sister is sick because she ate meat and dairy, both of which she has never really had before so isn't used to. Your mom needs to know because if she knows what is wrong she is more likely to be able to help your sister. Maybe you should tell your mom that you don't want to cause an argument so next time you go to your aunts you could eat beforehand. I'm sure your mom and aunt can just talk it out, but you can't ignore this situation because your sister is sick and you need to help her.

Good luck and I hope your sister feels better soon :)
Clearly, you are not telling the truth. I thought your question sounded a little fishy, so I checked your other questions. I found this: "I've been vegan for about a year (vegetarian 2 years before that),"



For the sake of people who come here because they really care, please stop making up false scenarios. It's not fair for people who really think out their answers.



In some questions you have an eating disorder. In other questions you've been a vegan all your life and in others you have only been vegan for a year. Either you just have a lot of time on your hands or you have some type of a problem with lying.
It's not from the pepperoni being meat -- it's because pepperoni has a great deal of fat, and you aren't used to digesting fat, so your bile stores are low.
Yes, tell her. Your aunt obviously does not respect your parents decision and has taught her kids not to respect it either. It is because of her that your sister is sick, and your parents should know about that so that they can deal with her.
Tell her. I don't know what point your aunts trying to proove but forcing her beliefs on you and causing an 8 year old to vomit. It is just terrible I mean you guys don't force your vegan views on them right?.
Tell your mother.

The next time you go to your aunt's house, take food for you and your sister.
Well, cheese and meat doesn't make anyone else sick, why would it make your sister sick?
I doubt that pizza made her ill. The illness is not the issue.
The issue is, should you tell on your aunt buying you some pizza? It depends on whether you ever want to see your cousins again. I say, just keep it quiet.
There is nothing immoral or indecent or unhealthy about eating pizza, so it is not as if your aunt forced you to watch pornography or something, in that case I would tell on her.
My advice: Don't say anything. Next time you go there, just bring a snack that you can feel comfortable eating and refuse the food your aunt provides.
By the way, yogini is wrong. You have the same digestive enzymes as everyone else. You do not know what caused the stomach ache.
being a vegan or vegetarian is not healthy in any way, in humans it can cause loss of neural activity, muscle degeneration, calcium deficiencies, heart problems, anemia, intestinal complications, dehydration, malnutrition, oral problems, a weak immune system, etc... and likewise there are different problems for people who cut out all vegetables. Humans are omnivores, we need both to develop correctly and be healthy, what you should do is get your parents and yourselves off that diet before you all die young.
Your Mom should know because your sister doesn't have the appropriate digestive enzymes to digest animal products. This actually might need medical attention because of the potential harm it can cause for your sister. You should just tell her what happened so that she can deal with it the way she needs to particularly if she needs to take your sister to the ER to be checked. Your sister could also be lactose intolerant. Help your sister and your Mom so that they can get her better faster. Let your Mom worry about your aunt. Your sister is 8 years old. What was she to do? What did she understand? Nothing. She's too young. Don't worry about your aunt. She made your young sister sick to begin with.
I'm a meat eater. I don't understand vegans, and I have been known to make fun of them on occasion. HOWEVER, if I had one at my house, and was serving them food, and I KNEW that they were vegan, I would absolutely make sure that the food I made for them was vegan as well. What your aunt did was so far out of line that it makes me (the meat eater) really mad. Tell your mom. She needs to know. If for no other reason so she can pack you some vegan food if you spend the night there again.
