    honey, yes, I'm on there. Not so active as here.
    But I'd like to see discussion here get up from the n00b and holiday questions, without getting into crap like coughsevenseascough style jestering.

    "Your vegan? You must be unhealthy"
    "I saw this thing on tv....they were so weak"
    " If you stop eating meat...blah, blah, blah, unhealthy"

    I posted this question on another list that I am on. Someone posted that she was having lunch with another vegan, a person who knew she was vegan. "Oh that looks really good, is it vegan?"

    Just heard this on the radio. Veggie newscaster is asked for the 10,000th time, "Where do you get your protein?" Completely tired of hearing this same question she replied, "From oral sex."

    Dakota's Mom... that's awful!

    I just might have to use that one with my mom the next time she asks me though. That should raise a few eyebrows ;)
    love,
    mom

    It was really on the radio this afternoon. Can't believe someone actually said that on air. I would love to use it with my inlaws, but I guess I just have too much respect or something to do that. I just get so tired of them asking every time we see them. I mean, it's been nearly a year now.

    On the AIR?!? WOW!

    I'm deciding whether I've got it in me to actually say that to my mom or not. It might shut her up... but I dunno if I could actually say it - especially if my dad were in the room!

    What is it about feeling the need to protect your "innocent" parents from hearing things anyway? I'm absolutely positive that my parents are not virgins!
    love,
    mom

    Personally I hate it when people can't say "vegan." Vegans are from Vegas, vegans don't do animals. Apparently that's difficult.

    Anyway, I was once told that my problem was I didn't believe in the Bible, because in it, God apparently commands people to eat meat. I missed that edition.

    i would totally say that. especially to my parents.

    picking my son up from daycare, his irate teacher told me "he refused to eat his chicken nuggets for lunch!" annoyed, i reminded her to check his form: it was made clear in no uncertain terms we were vegetarians. her response? "oh i thought that just meant you didn't eat meat. i didn't know you didn't eat CHICKEN too!"

    someone asked me once what i had against soybeans, that i thought it was ok to kill and eat them.

    i just told her i didn't like their looks.

    How can people not realise chicken is meat ... what do they think it is then?
    Even as a kid (raised by stubbournly omni parents) we didn't have chicken nuggets, those things are just nasty.

    My grandmother insists 'oh you don't know what you're missing'
    Actually there may be so truth to that, I can't remember what meat tastes like ... but seriously I was raised omni, and went veg of my own choosing.

    I had to explain to my mother recently why I didn't want a goose down duvet. She couldn't see the problem because 'they don't kill the birds for feathers' ... do people seriously think there are thousands of happy bald geese running around on a farm somewhere?

    When they ask 'well what if you were on a desert island?' (I'd eat the fricking plants!)
    Or talk about how Inuits/Kalahari bushmen/whatever need meat to surive. Yeah that's so relevant when I live in surburb England.

    How come everyone knows an ex-veg who got horribly ill [because omnis never get ill due to their diet] or fell off the wagon because they were tempting by bacon sandwiches?
    Yeah that sucks for them; but I'm perfectly healthy, and have no interest in bacon (can't recall the taste, but it doesn't exactly smell great).

    Hmm, well, maybe you should have asked him for a veggie sub?

    I haven't really had anything said to me that hasn't been said here already.. just the usual "so do you eat fish?" and people joking around offering me meat or saying things like "so what are you having for dinner? steak?.."
