Lol. <br /><br />Things have def. got better over the years, I used to have a 'Food Technology' (cooking) teacher in school who inferred all veggies are either anorexic or violent animal rights extremists, and said that being veggie was dangerous for your health, and a 'little protest.' I was actually *shaking* with anger!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-74079895514488230402019-05-08T12:05:00.742+01:002019-05-08T12:05:00.742+01:00My parents always told us we could eat whatever we...My parents always told us we could eat whatever we wanted - it was our choice, they just wouldn't be cooking meat in the house, or buying us stuff made with animal products. I think it's fine to think kids shouldn't be raised in a particular way... but even if you wanna raise your kids outside of a belief system, you have to feed them!Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-27469302081236443372019-05-08T01:52:47.438+01:002019-05-08T01:52:47.438+01:00Oh my goodness, this is just plain craziness (and ...Oh my goodness, this is just plain craziness (and ignorance). Sorry you have to put up with these sorts of things all the time. (Though I'll confess that I chuckled a teensy bit at "I don't think you like animals - you just really hate plants!" I could totally hear my oldest daughter saying something snarky like that.)<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a><br />Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-54881828895709230852019-05-07T16:29:24.911+01:002019-05-07T16:29:24.911+01:00I am not veggie or vegan but for the environment a...I am not veggie or vegan but for the environment and for reducing I have a vegetarian month every year (which I am currently in the middle of) and also have meat free meals every now and again generally! The first three are absolutely ridiculous! Meat is meat is meat :P And I also think the one about parents raising you veggie is rubbish too. Parents raise their kids certain religions or in certains ways all the time. And then when you're older or 18 you get to make your own choices.

XD <br /><br />Like, I have no problem with people eating meat if they're OK with it, but dudes, please understand that it comes from living creatures who deserve a) the best quality lives while they're here, and b) your f**king respect for *giving their lives* for you!

I have been in the vegan and plant based realm for nearly 11 years. I heard so many of things you mention here. It's shocking how people are so far removed from their choices and their impact on other beings on the planet. Just the way people talk about food is weird. No, Karen. This is not beef. This is a dead cow who was afraid and sad and cramped up and uncomfortable. You supported this. >.> PS: see you on the deserted island. Let's make some salad.

She asks me: why are you a vegetarian? I told her it’s because I love animals too much to eat them. She says: it’s the circle of life, nobody’s telling you to eat your dog. <br /><br />I don’t know why she assumed that dogs are the only animals I like. By saying animals I thought that implied the ones that we regularly eat as well. *sighs* I can’t stand when people feel the need to give their opinions on your life. I’m not preaching to them to be veggie, so stop preaching to me to eat meat! paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
