I've been veggie for um a little over 25 years. I made the transition
gradually. It is interesting to get reactions. I'm not around people I
don't know that much, but every now and then it's really weird to get
people's reactions to how I choose to eat... I remember a long time ago
interviewing at a company, and I knew the person who owned it from 10 years
back, and he laughed and said "what do you eat, grass?". I didn't take
offense, it was just really odd. What different lives and realities we all
have. (Like sprouting 2 heads - I like that!)

I was vegetarian for about 6 years and it just amazed me at how many
people would monitor my eating habits. I wouldn't make an issue of it and
I was flexible that if I was at a party or something I would eat whatever
was served--with or without meat. Let me go to a restaurant with a group
and bear in mind, I never called attention to the fact that I don't eat
meat, my order would literally hijack the conversation. You would think I
sprouted 2 heads or something.
I do not know why what other people eat or don't eat bothers some people
to the extent that it does.

I have a question: why in the world would anyone take
offense to the personal choice of being a vegan?
Especially to the point of kicking a vegan out of a
group? I don't understand this concept. I could
fathom a group of vegans not wanting a non-vegan in
their cyber group, but the other way around? Can
someone fill me in on why this would be? Just
curious. Thanks. I have no problem with what anyone
is doing as long as it isn't hurting anyone or
anything, and being vegan does not qualify.
