One of my best acquaintances maintains a Vegan diet. I, however, tend to subscribe to the mantra "A meal isn't a meal without meat, but a meal with only meat is a fine meal".
I respect his reasons and decisions, but we don't tend to eat together overmuch. When visiting, I'll usually get up from a conversation and say "I'll be back in about 20 minutes" and go find a Wendy's restaurant... then come back for more conversation. I've found that most Vegans (and perhaps Vegetarians) become ill in the presence of someone eating meat, not just tasting meat themselves.
So, you work around it. *shrugs*
