Oh I never thought about other vegetarians bad behavior. That's sad.

I'm not a vegan because i'm into animals or anything. In fact, I see nothing wrong with wearing fur. I just do it for health reasons and because I had alot of digestion issues before changing my diet.

So I guess I don't feel as passionately as some vegeratians.

I go to non- vegetarian restaurants and try to create a vegan meal. at most nice places the chef will do something special to me. at less nice spots i'll just order salad and nuts or something. i dont' complain if it tastes like meat, i just quit eating it. i try to go where my friends will enjoy even tho i know i may not be able to eat.

I also have to eat before i go to parties and events, i can never assume there is anything for me. for some friends parties i offer to bring something because i don't want people to make an effort for me and i can't eat it anyway. people often say, o i heard u were coming so i made potatoe salad and macaroni and cheese and ordered veggie pizza. i don't eat any of that and then i feel terrible. so now i tell them, don't go out of ur way for me i'll bring something or i just ate. i don't comment on other peoples food unless they ask me. which surprisingly happens alot.

last week i went to a dinner party. a friend's gramdmother asked me to get her some more chitterlings (pork intestines). i couldn't refuse her grandmother. so i went to the pot and put some in a bowl. it almost turned my stomach. i guess they saw it on my face. so it's a give and take. they don't like to see me make that face. i don't like to see the face people make when they find out i'm eating tofu.

it's time we all respect eachother more.
