Guest guest Report post Posted December 3, 2005 I have to say I think by me being a vegan it has made it harder for a meat eater to be my friend for socializing sake,I think its foolish but others might feel uncomfy hanging out w/ me cause they think I might try to change them(I wouldn't do that),but I can something get preachy if asked some questions though,so no family has disowned me,but I have to say I might of lost a few friends or not made friends due to it-there loss.peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: Welcome to the art of compasion.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 3, 2005 My first hubby when I met him ate everything then after the 2year mark he became a lacto/ovo veg.,the hubby I am married to now is a full on meat eater(will never change-sure he does have 2-3days a week he eat no meat)I never thought I would ever fall in love w/ a meat eater,but I have found a great/carring man that loves and respects my eating as I him,so why be alone in life if you don't have to be.Susan <oceanfest_2000 wrote: Someone at work asked me if I'd date someone who atemeat.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 4, 2005 Hi Nikki I always think it wise to keep a sense of porportion. One of the things I can never understand is that some people love cats, birds of prey, tigers etc. who kill and eat other animals, but cannot forgive humans for doing the same.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 4, 2005 Hi Susan Maybe I am too fussy because there are lots of types of behaviour I don't like, so if I removed myself from the company of these people I probably wouldn't mix with anyone except Colin. On the whole it is easier to realise that people all have different values, and not everyone agrees with you, and then decide whether you like the people despit their 'faults'.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Sandi, Please don't toss it! The landfills are full enough! Return it, recycle it, freecycle it, donate or give it away!

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Maybe I move in a different world but most of the people I know are vegetarian, vegan, or very sympathetic to vegetarianism and trying to eat less meat. In the past when I have known people who were actively promoting meat eating, I gradually veered away from them. Perhaps a certain sort of person is more likely to be vegetarian than others.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Who decides what to cook? If you cook, maybe you could convert him to at least a few days each week vegetarian by cooking him some veggie meals he just can't resist. There are also meat substitutes you could use so he doesn't even know.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2005 Hahhaha,actually we are both not cooks,but he has offered to make me anything vegan I would like(I never do though),he is only home sat./sun. night for dinner,but since we have been together(4yrs.)we always make our own meals,but I have to admit he is eating a whole mot healthier since we are together(he needs to lose 50+pounds)he has his vegetarian days(but too much darn cheese though).herbvalerian <herbvalerian wrote: Who decides what to cook?

Guest guest Report post Posted December 5, 2005 I think it is the attitude of the friend toward my being vegan that is the telling point. If they aren't respectful of it as I am of their meat eating then I just gradually cease to see them. It's the disrespect that is the telling factor. My dad was very disrespectful and taunting at first until I told him how hurtful it was to have my own father taunting me (this wasn't teasing, but taunting). I also explained to him that I wouldn't go out to eat with him anymore since it was also very embarrassing as he would taunt in front of the waitress or other family members. He stopped. However, I would never "date" a man that wasn't vegan due to the conflict in values that will submerge a marriage faster than anything. I do notice that there are a number of attitudes towards my being vegan...some could care less, never ask questions or anything like that and that is maybe the best. Then there are those that ask questions as to why I am a vegan and with those I answer bluntly and honestly. Another category are those people that just find it jolts their consciences and run like hell even though the topic never comes up. LOL And there is the final category...those like my dad that find veganism a source for taunting and ridiculing. Then I run like hell. LOL However since my life is taken up working in animal welfare and the rights of all sentient beings my circle of friends are also those that engage in the same value system and lifestyle. I don't have any hunters in my circle of friends. <grinning> linda "Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it."Mohandas Gandhi linda's Growing Stitchery Projects: womyn47 - herbvalerian Maybe I move in a different world but most of the people I know are vegetarian, vegan, or very sympathetic to vegetarianism and trying to eat less meat. In the past when I have known people who were actively promoting meat eating, I gradually veered away from them. Perhaps a certain sort of person is more likely to be vegetarian than others.I don't mix much with the others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
