Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 i suspect that a majority of veggies have non-veg mates. it would be interesting to hear how others deal with it. me? i don't cook meat. hell, i didn't like touching or dealing with it when i wasn't veg. i've been through 2 long-term relationships as veg with a non-veg and it has been no problem at all. the first bf would sometimes cook himself a little meat to have with whatever i was making. my current bf eats whatever i cook. so i guess for me it works out really well. PT, i'm glad your husband gets the good stuff. i work in radio and when mad cow was found in the US, one of the talk show hosts wanted to know when it became okay to send downed cattle to the market. i told him if he knew anything about the meat industry he'd be veg or at the very least by farm raised organic. the scary part is he really should have known better... laura On Feb 12, 2004, at 3:44 PM, ~ PT ~ wrote: > Wow, I never had that happen to me~ that I > was accidentally slipped meat in some veggie > food I ordered~ but I believe it.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Funny I was just thinking the same thing. I think it's wild how many people on this list have non-veg spouses/significant others. my fiancé is veggie and I am vegan, and that is about as big a dietary difference as I can deal with (in a relationship that is) ;-). fortunately for me Nicole is almost vegan and only cooks vegan (by chance, she isn't crossing this far over). I guess I am pretty lucky.
