you have to be the grown u and mature one,. other people either have very deep guilt, or they are studip, so I would say do not pay attention to them. you need to find that inner confidence, and strength. Only you can do this. So buckle up and be the best you can!
Thats very screwed up.
Just because you are avegan doenst make you stupid at all.
Too bad that they dont let you join in, but then again people who dont understand you dont deserve your company.
They are the ones being stupid and ignorant, even sort of judgemental because they dont want you eating with them because you need "speical" meals.
I have a vegetarian co-worker and he is fairly tolerant about us carnivores. He does get a little squeamish when we do talk about meat, but does't judge us about our eating habits. But I have noticed that when talking about food or eating when he is around that the conversation may stray away from meat related topics.
Maybe they are discluding you because they feel that their eating meat in front of you may upset you, so they come up with juvenile explanations and conditions so they don't have to worry about it.
However, it is more likely that don't understand exactly why you have chosen to be vegan and don't understand about your diet or don't want to be embarrased by your menu selections.
Stick to your convictions and maybe find some friends that are less judgemental and more open-minded about alternative diets.
Your not stupid, you just have poor eating habits.
It's easier for them to laugh at you than to think about the suffering they're causing by eating meat. Ever since I've become vegetarian, I've been amazed by how defensive people get if you just mention that you're a vegetarian in a nice way. I usually say something like "Hey - it's not like I gave up chocolate or anything!" Just be friendly and remember that it's their loss if they don't want to get to know you just because of what you eat.
I'd also try to find some more like-minded people... maybe search online for veg groups in your area.
What? Usually it's the trolls 'round these parts that have the incoherent posts.
p.s. MeatEater, "your not stupid" is classic. "Your" not stupid. haha. and by "haha" I mean "how sad."
those people are cold hearted and inhumane and ignorant. if they dont understand why we give up meat then there stupid ignorant brutes.
I'm sorry you deal with this. You wanted to be different, so your going to be treated differently. What can I say?
