I've been vegetarian over 20 years, and my father STILL has to make rude comments about it at family gatherings.......... and they wonder why I try to get out of them. I don't go if I can possibly avoid them. It's not worth it, plus it's depressing to walk into the dining room with dead animals all over the table. (We have to have turkey AND ham!)
He also still can't get it through his head that this includes chicken for some reason!?!?

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.

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.
