My friend recently began hating me cause i eat meat and drink milk and stuff like that!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. She became vegan!. She won't talk to me, so i was curious on the views of vegans and what to doWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well you can't force her to talk to you or anything, but I don't eat/drink meat/dairy when I'm around vegans, just out of respect for their beliefs!.
Vegan's don't use any animals products (that usually includes leather, gelatin, feathers, etc)
They don't drink milk (although there are many reason why: some say it is unnatural to drink the milk of another species, some say its inhumane to take their milk, etc)
If I was vegan and you dug into a hamburger in front of me I would feel a little disrespected, but there is no reason for her to hate you simply because you eat meat/drink milk in the comfort of your own home!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your "friend" doesn't sound like one worth keeping!.
I am a vegetarian and I sit down to meals with my meat eating friends, even make vegetarian jokes, and they respect me because I am not pushy and won't sit there telling them that their food was once a sentiment being like other veggie friends do!. I used to eat meat and am not about to criticise others because they do!.
If you really want to, talk to your friend about it and tell her that you don't appreciate her being so hateful about something so trivial!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well vegans dont eat any animal products!. Usually vegans are more tolerant, which I don't understand (but do admire), because if one person eats meat, that's one too many as far as their goals are concerned!. I guess she caught on!. You should tell her that animals are not as important as your friendship, and she'll have to realize that you respect her choice, but decline to live her lifestyle!. If she still refuses to talk to her because you chose to eat meat, you should introduce her to a tolerant vegan, which is pretty much any other one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ugh I have known many vegans, and most of them (not all some were very nice) werre like freaking food zealots, they thought "If you don't follow me then you hate animals!"!.

Vegans do not eat anything derived from an animal, this includes all meat, milk,cheese,eggs, and anything that uses such products they can not eat either!.They will eat vegetables and other such things like beans!. They're basically vegetarians on LSD!. I'm not saying all vegans are like this, but most of the ones I have met are!.

also if your friend is going to call you out for having your own beliefs then you need to ditch her!.

Ok you see the guy right below me, THATS WHAT I MEAN BY FOOD ZEALOTS!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sometimes when people become vegan, they are so overwhelmed by the information they receive about the exploitation of animals and the environment that most people (like you) accept on a daily basis, that they go extremely militant and alienate people!.

If I were her friend, I'd tell her, "Good riddance to that animal eating murderer!."

But to you, I say, give her a chance to become more moderate if you care about her!. And if you really care about her, then do some research into veganism and try to understand why she is so passionate!. It's pretty compelling stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm sorry your friend is acting like that!.

I would try to communicate with her (by e-mail if necessary) and tell her that you realize and respect how strongly she feels about the inhumane treatment of animals!. Tell her that acting self-righteous and holier-than-thou only turns people off and this really ends up hurting animals!. Remind her that she used to eat meat, eggs, and dairy products!. Ask her whether she went vegan as a result of someone criticizing her for not being vegan!.

I hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, she is being immature and an attention-whore!.

Your friend's family probably eats all of the same foods!. Has she disowned every member of her family!?

No sane or rational person loves or hates someone based on what they eat!. I'm vegan and would rather be friends with a well-spoken hunter than a self-righteous vegetarian!.

I'd agree that she is not vegan because people are animals too and she seems to be out to hurt you and is full of hate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your friend is not a vegan, she's a moron!. There's no vegan tenet that says you have to start hating all the omnivores in your life!. If that's the kind of person she is, she's going to end up friendless and alone!. Find yourself a friend who cares enough about you as an individual to accept the fact that you don't have to be the exact same person as they are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your friend is being self-righteous and sanctimonious!. Your best bet is to simply state that you respect her dietary decisions and would appreciate it if she respected yours!.

She sounds pretty immature!. If you're not making a big deal out of eating meat and dairy and stuff (teasing her about how tasty the dead cow is or whatever), she has no reason to be offended!.

You could offer to avoid eating meat when you're around her, but I think she probably needs to figure out how to be mature on her own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

shes not a true friend!.
im a vegetarian, my friends eat meat, some try to limit their meat eating around me, but its their choice!.
he should respect your decision to eat meat and not shoveher convictions down your throat!. when your a round her, tryto be understanding and dont eat a steak around her and stuff like that!.
and if she went vegan over night, she wont las tso dont worry!.
your too good for that!. she not a true friend!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

tell her you will try to comprimise!. try cutting out a type of meat (octovegitarian) or join a club to help support animals or something!. you can also try the Morning Star brand foods that taste exactly like the real meat without being real meat!.

and it sounds like your friend is being totally unethical!. NOBODY becomes a Vegan overnite and if they do it lasts like 2 days!. you usually start out cutting out some meat then all then becoming a vegan!.

if she doesnt accept you after that than shes not even worth it!. you dont change your whole diet for friends, thats stupid!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

its not fair that you have to deal with this!. its ok to have different choices, and if you guys are that good of friends you can study vegans, talk to perents, and start eating different (vegan) fooods the taste really good!. i may not be vegan but i have beeen studying and tasting the different foods!., they arereally good!. try it (if you want to) and if you dont like it tell her and explain that you dont want to!. remember if she is gunna treat you like this then its propbly not worth it!.

I am as vegan as they come and although I find the practice of eating meat horrifying, I do not judge people on it because it is so common in the U!.S!., and I firmly believe given ALL the information, most people would become vegetarian!. Diets are often time more geographical than anything else!. People eat what people in their area of the world eat!. Your friend obviously feels very strong about the subject!. You need to talk to her and try to understand how she feels!. Ultimately, if she excommunicates herself from all meat eaters, she will probably live a lonely life!. good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Thats ridiculous!. If she wants you to respect her living choices, she has to respect yours!.
Thats a very immature behavior!. Vegans dont eat any animal product!. But we're not hating on the people that do!. Tell your friend that she made a conscious choice that affects her and her only!. If she tries bullying you into being vegan - that peer pressure! Thats not the vegan mentality!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell her since she loves animals so much, she can play with them!. You on the other hand, will find other humans to play with from now on!. If she won't talk to you, the problem is with her, not with you!. People like her are never going to be real friends, now or in the future!. It's best to leave her to her ways and move on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

She is basically a closed-minded prat!. It's okay, just listen to the other entries, and wikipedia it, she shouldn't shun you like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well your friend is going to find herself pretty lonely in life if she alienates anyone who eats animal products!. there's nothing you can do, she'll figure it outWww@FoodAQ@Com

She's being intolerant-there isn't a lot you can do!. If she's a real friend she'll eventually realize she has to let you make your own choices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

omg
she is sooo stupid
dont amke her forgive you
if thts why she is mad
i mean if we didnt eat meat
the world would be filled with animalssssss
and it would be like impossible to driveWww@FoodAQ@Com

It sounds like your friend is being over the top!. If she wants you to be vegan yourself she's going the wrong way about it; being forceful doesn't make anyone want to change!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like a friend thats trying to shove her beliefs down your throat!. If thats the only way she'll talk to you, she's not worth it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
