Don’t try and change people as you wouldn’t want to be changed; i.e. if someone asked you NOT to eat vegan for one meal (regarding the fact that it’s your birthday and the man doesn’t know you) and asked you to try meat (with sides of course) you wouldn’t, would you?

Im a meat eater, as previously mentioned, and I respect that you don’t eat meat – for whatever reason!

now, im not a ‘trouble-stirrer!’ i was looking for an article that was something like ‘i eat meat every meal – is this bad for my health’ and i stumbled across this monstrosity of slander aimed at a close minded stereotypical view of one person!

ooohhh it’s good to release!

If I have my birthday dinner in an Italian restaurant, you have to go one meal without eating Chinese. Is that up to you? Is it no one else’s business if you want to eat Chinese? Maybe, but then you’re missing my birthday dinner.

I don’t go around telling people not to eat meat (though if called upon to do so, I’ll point out that piglets have muddy snouts). But yeah, my next birthday dinner is going to be at Millennium. And if people are actually put out and offended by the prospect of making an entire meal with no animal products at all, then it’s pretty likely I’d have offended them in some other way, too. So they can just send me a card…

If I am cooking I usually just make vegan meals and don’t share my secret till after it’s been eaten. I find that it works quite well! I also made a vegan thanksgiving for my mom and a friend, and the both LOVED it. They knew ahead of time, but it’s awesome to show people that food can still be yummy!
