Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Mike... No you're not alone it's the same thing that i have been through too. Just other words...they really dont understand what we feel inside. I am veggie for 6 years in Thailand.. it's your first strat..sure there must be something to prove you..Will you believe it or not ...it's the heaven test..it like school test you should pass it...but this test is more excellent..it means soul. My parents, my family, my friends were shock that i became one. But for a long long time it became our life..it's our life became the natural of our life...they will use to your attitude.. Believe me..eventhough the ones you love do this to you...but you will be the person that they think of when they need help. you will get a lot of trust ... " you are what you eat " The things you will get is improving your soul...just ignore their words..dont be angry...it's the step to the emptiness. The human life is value than animals..as is less value we should give love to them..the important thing of human life is give love...then it makes world peace..we are the new generotions who starts the new civilization by being vegetarian...it souds great... em...if one people symphathize with animals stop eating..You think that people dare to kill human..if everyone does..how will be a perfect world? We will become history....... well...my english is not good if you're confused my English please forgive me.. Sarisa Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 hey mike, well, we've all been through that, i think-- my friends and family all think i'm nuts because i'm vegan. my father was horrified for a while that my mother mentioned it to her friends. i get those same arguments and comments ( " i hear your carrot screaming! " ) all the time. in the end, though, you have to be true to yourself. if i spent my life worrying about what other people thought of me, i'd be in a very different place in my life right now, and i would be absolutely miserable. hope that helps you! welcome to the group! oh, and sarisa-- your english is just fine, and your sentiment is beautiful. melody http://www.melodysmusic.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Mike [jurassic_monkey420] Tuesday, July 01, 2003 9:48 PM New to all of this >>...it's getting to a point where I try to hide the fact I am a veggie, I'm getting so sick of everyone giving me carp...<< Sadly, that's what your life will be like without supportive friends around you. Some meat-eaters are quite sensitve to our being different and see our veggie diet as a challenge to their own diet. I don't really understand why they act that way, and frankly after 22 years as a veggie, I've given up trying to explain it. Welcome to the group, Mike. You'll find many of those new supportive friends here. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Hey Mike, welcome to the group. I think you will find a lot of people here that you can relate to regarding frustrations with relative, friend and stranger reactions to your new diet. Many here have several ways they deal (or don't deal) with these reactions. We are coming off our second most active month since this group was created and the last couple of days have been somewhat quiet, so hang in there. We've got tons of recipes in the files section....anything from appetizers to desserts, from homemade soaps to pet treats. If you have any questions or any more experiences you want to share with us, please be our guest. Talk to ya laters! Cheers, Shawn ----Original Message Follows---- " Mike " <jurassic_monkey420 Well I just joined this forum, and I haven't been a veggie for every long, since about Jan. I've always had a love for animals but never really stopped to think about what I'm eating. Then one day I just said, " Hey, I don't have to eat animals " lol. And I guess that's really the reason I became one. But since I've become one I can't tell you how much crap I take from everyone. I get all these butt holes giving stuff like " You eat plants right? That's a living thing! " or " Animals eat each other, why can't we eat them? " Well my answers for those two are " Well plants don't have a brain and don't feel love " and " Yes animals eat each other, but animals also have sex with their brothers and sisters, do you? " But it's getting to a point where I try to hide the fact I am a veggie, I'm getting so sick of everyone giving me carp. You see I live in Louisiana where meat is a VERY big thing around here, and anyone who is a veggie is looked at like some kind of weirdo. Don't get me wrong I love being one; just I hate all the baggage it comes with. I really hope that I find other People that can relate to my problem. Well I'll stop ranting and crying like a baby, this is really just my hello lol. _______________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Hi Mike and welcome! This definitely is a great place to get support. But, I did want to point out one thing as the resident herbalist and Green Witch. Plants DO indeed feel love. Lucky for us, plants are so generous and willing to give their energy to us that it is much less " soulless " to eat vegetarian than carnivorously (is that a word?). I'm sorry that you're having a hard time finding fellow feeling among your acquaintances. If you feel like you need your friends/family to understand, try explaining to them the devestating effects of factory farming. They might not have as many " arguments " against that. Again, welcome to the group! May you find happiness here. -K , " Mike " <jurassic_monkey420> wrote: But since I've become one I can't > tell you how much crap I take from everyone.

You're never going to get away from all the crap. Some people just give us crap to make themselves feel better about their meat-eating ways. Maybe they feel threatened by vegetarianism, so they say that crap. Whatever. I usually just ignore it. Sometimes it gets really annoying, though. LA would be a very difficult place to be veggie!! I lived the last 9 years in Kansas City--the barbecue and steak capital of the world and I put up with a lot of crap there. You might research whether there is a vegetarian organization in town. Believe it or not, KC had one!! Good luck and welcome to the list! sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't see how people can do it and I think THEY are weird for eating it and I think it stinks when people cook it!! I would love to have a world where it was considered deviant to eat meat! To me, that makes the most logical sense. My family raises animals for meat. If more people became friends with their food, they wouldn't eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thanks for the welcome, and thanks to everyone for thier kind words, don't have to time to reply to them all, or even reply that much to anything lol. Well my family is pretty cool about it actually. My bothers and sister haven't said anything and my dad was cool about it, and so was my mom. The only thing she ever said was once " Ya know Jesus ate meat " That made me laugh, I love my mom lol. Now i'm not a vegan, so pleae don't hate me lol. I admire Vegans, and nothing but respect, I just, personally, only have a problem with eatting actual meat. The idea of eatting another living thing that can love, breaks my heart. Now I don't hate meat eatters at all, all of my friends eat meat, and some even hunt (sadlly) but that is their choice, and thier right. I don't agree with it but I have enough love and respect for them that I would NEVER tell them what they can and can't do. Just like I don't want them telling me I can't be a veggie. And as for all the crap I take, I just tell people now to listen to the song " Story my life " By the punk band Millencolin. That's pretty much raps it up for me. Well later all my fellow veggies! " This time, it's not a cow, it's kind of personal, can't explain to you why this time, it's not a cow, so mr.PC are you ready to bow " -Millencolin " artichoke72x " <artichoke72x wrote: hi mike, welcome to the list. sorry that you are getting so much crap from people about your diet. i'm sure most of us here have experienced the same kind of thing. i've gotten to the point where my attitude is that i don't have to justify my diet choices to anyone...and i don't. it's not their business and i'm not out to convert anyone. i've found it easier to not announce that i'm veggie and most people don't even notice. works for me. how does your family feel about you being vegetarian? looking forward to your posts, susie --- Mike <jurassic_monkey420 wrote: > Well I just joined this forum, and I haven't been a > veggie for every > long, since about Jan.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I know how you feel, my family is from green bay wisconsin with all it's cheeseburgers, brats, ,and more cheese. i just went vegan. when i told my omnivorous mom, she was concerned for MY health. but they're starting to come around now. i sent them an article about new veggie friendly restaurants opening up there. if there's hope for green bay, ,there's hope for LA " suck the head pinch the tail " . actually other than maybe san fransansico, i think we're in the vast minority. But every time someone challenges my views, i think it just makes them stronger.. if that's possible. their arguments just sound so ridiculous now. Maybe if you find someone there who isn't totally hostile to you, you could have em over for veggie burgers or something. prove to them it's not the poison most meat-eaters think it is.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi - I'm new to all of this. About a month and a half ago, I saw the movie Fast Food Nation. This led me to the PETA website. I'd seen this stuff before and had been brought to tears, but this time it made an impact on me. So, I'm not eating meat or fish and transitioning away from milk. Cheese will be hard for me. I didn't do this to lose weight but thought that I might. It seems that I've actually gained weight. Any tips? I know patience and my continued exercise program will work in the long run. I just wonder if I'm eating the wrong things. Thanks Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check out new cars at Autos.
