its really hard if you get little support Hey Rene

[Guest guest]

That's what you got this group for support and recipes. Man, if I

can do it you can do it. I'm a Mexican guy from East L.A. and you

don't want to be throwing around the word vegetaran to your familia

and homies. When they come to my place to watch boxing I always have

a big thing of chili and it has fake meat. They never ask so I never

bother to say but they eat it all up. My familia is better now about

it. My sister makes cheese tamales and uses vegetable shortning and

not lard anymore so it all will work for you. Just keep being a

vagataran and it will get easier.

applesauce. I just thought it was rude. My parents are always the

type if you dont do what they want, its wrong. They think i am stupid

and goofy. Has anyone else come across this ? How do you deal with

it ? In my home home, my husband and family are neither way.. they

dont say anything. its more like do what you want.. type of

attitutude. Problems w/ my parents though go way back.. this is just

another thing.. lol. But generally, how do you deal with it, when

people think you are stupid for being a veg ?
