vegan food smells bad??? was: I'm discouraged

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty. i must say i am quite confused about your

husband's reaction to the " bad smell " of your food.

What types of foods in particular does he think have

a bad odor? My husband is also an omnivore, and he

never complains about my food having a bad odor.

He eats most everything i make and enjoys them

as a side dish to his meat often times.

Most meat eaters eat all the same things we do~

veggies, legumes, breads, etc.

 

But his immature reaction aside, and that is just

my opinion of his behavior in regards to your healthy

dietary changes, i want to say you are doing a wonderful

job. You should be praised and encouraged for what

you have accomplished. i really admire your firm

resolve and the depth of character you display in the

face of such discouraging actions. You keep it up and

know we are here enjoying reading of your success.

Any time you need to vent or need a pat on the back,

we are here for you.
