You will find some people will tease you about being vegetarian or vegan. But it all comes down to animals. You are not doing it for humans your doing it for the animals. A animals point of view on you being vegetarian would be a compliment!
Thats a really good point to make. Especially to those of us find it hard with our families. I can handle friends snide comments but family get to me..
My mum and dad are excepting of it, but my Sisters and brother in law point out everytime im with them eating a meal "I think we need to eat meat, its part of who we are as humans" or they make the typcial predictable comments like: "where do you get protien from? Your going to wreak your health if you go vegan, We are omivores and need meat in our diet" Blah blah blah.
I dont even argue because it is on wasted ears. They think their right, I think Im right. I say instead "i'm not discussing this." and leave it at that.
Im really happy I have a boyfriend who is very supportive. He basically is Vegetarian unless he buys food out or eats at someones elses house. All the groceries we buy and cook are mostly vegan (with the exception of eggs and yogurt) He even drinks my Soymilk now!
