Vegetarian it's not a STD

  • Hello!

    I have been vegetarian for a few years now.
    I try to eat a vegan sort of diet, but will indulge in chocolate and cheese. I love making curries, soups, stews, and other veggie/vegan recipes from scratch.

    I'm willing to be a veggie pal :)
  • To be honest with you, I try not to mention that I'm a vegetarian unless it actually comes up in conversation and I know the person well. For example 'would you like to come over for dinner?' 'yeah sure, but i'm vegetarian.'

    If it has come up in conversation with people I don't really know well, I find that a lot of meat eaters will instantly attack you and call you stupid for not eating meat. Then they will list the reasons why you should eat meat. Then when you finally say something they try and tell you that you're preaching. So, I've had some bad experiences with it. Including being called an idiot! :(
  • hey!

    I'm doing the vegan thing! I want to see if it helps be feel better, health wise.

    Anyone can add me!

    It comes out at some point with most people. People will offer you food that isn't vegetarian, and you can't always say no thanks. I work at a resteraunt so there's always free food around and coworkers ask me to have some or try it so I have to tell them I don't eat meat or they'll keep offering. I don't tell customers, but if they ask what's good that is meat I just suggest whats most popular.
