The arrogance of veganism

ATTENTION: THE FOLLOWING IS AN ANALYTICAL RANT ON THE CONCEPT OF VEGANISM..

It is trouble enough to find a meatless dish, but to find a vegan dish is completely out of the question. Even most salads have not only cheese or dairy, but pieces of meat or eggs in them. Right now, I might have to use one of my cheats simply to enjoy a lunch outing with my grandfather.
I suppose the point of this rant is to not only criticize chain resteraunts for neither carrying vegetarian nor vegan food options, but to question how arrogant this lifestyle is making me. I cannot go out to eat,I have to refuse the food my family cooks for me and food other people are serving, and I am constantly inconveniencing my family and friends.
It makes me question whether or not the superior feeling of my body is worth it, or is selfish of me, which is something I don't ever want to question again. Am I becoming too high matinence for my friends and family? I believe that the vegan minority or the strict diet minority in general may alienate themselves from others through their food. Food is a gateway to socialization, and by the inflexibility of their diets, they may be severing some very important social connections.
I believe that after this month is over, I will consume vegan foods whenever I can. I will continue to cook vegan and to enjoy new recipes. I wish to maintain my health. Yet, when it comes to the expense of others, I will enjoy meals that contain animal products. I will not continue to maintain such a strict diet, because without enjoyment, food is nothing but bland sustenance.
