Hi, I am trying to adopt a vegan diet and I am only telling you that because I NEED to in order to defend myself. It is really rough doing this. Whenever I order a vegan option at a restaurant people will ask and then get really interested in my reasons. At best, they are curious. At worst, they are argumentative. It happens every time I am dining with new people, or a certain person who has a particular issue.
To be frank, I know some people get touchy by these decisions because they are moral choices. People can't help feel like it is an attack. I am conflict adverse and don't like to offend anyone. I also don't like to be self-righteous about my choices. My preference would be that every mind their own business and not take my not eating meat as a personal attack on them.
I acknowledge there are a lot of vegan warriors that shame people. But not all of us are like that. Please don't use generalizations.
OP is a fage
I was vegan all last year, tell people you do it for personal health and if they are interested they'll look it up. People are so ignorant and literally fucking retarded when it comes to veganism so just keep that in mind. Also fuck going out to eat, stick to home cooking.
