Vegans or vegetarians?!
tell me if you are in a relationship and you are veg or vegan and they eat meat, and is it hard to live together ?
Answers:
I would date someone who respected my choices and wasn't rude or unaccommodating about it.
If he's the type of guy who would eat bacon and steak every day just to bother me, and make a big deal, and make fun of me- then no. If he wants to eat some chicken wings and doesn't expect me to prepare them or eat them, and will buy them from a humane source- sure.
About the humane source thing I said- a guy that is ok with meat is fine, and I can understand them. A guy that is ok with factory farming is someone I would never be able to understand, like, or live with.
I don't think it would be hard to live together, but it would be hard if we had/adopted kids- deciding whether to raise them vegetarian or not might be a topic of some debate.
I don't really give a damn how people eat ;)
Just as long as they know about hygiene and can cook the meat properly -.-;
I'm the only vegetarian in my household. And it's ridiculous. I'm a picky eater, so I only have the delicious stuff, and it always disappears. Our freezer and fridge are packed with meat, so I've found myself making eggs on more than one occasion *and I dislike eggs* I think moving in with someone, it would be different. For one, I assume there would be less people which means more space for my junk, but in all honesty... if both parties understand the circumstances and are capable of working things out, it shouldn't make living difficult on that note.
Well I'm married to a meat eater and if he can respect my decision to be vegan, I can respect his decision to eat meat. I'm lucky he doesn't mind keeping the home vegan for the most part and raising our baby vegan too once it's born. He only eats meat when we go out or when I'm in a really good mood to make him some, lol. There are more important things for me in a relationship than this, it's pretty hard to find other vegans anyway.
Vegetarianism is a personal choice that should be made for either health or personal reasons, and that choice should not be used to judge anybody else. Whether or not another person eats meat shouldn't affect your judgement of them.
I have an aunt who's a vegetarian who is married to a complete and utter steak n' potatoes sort of guy, and they get along with each other perfectly well.
My fiance and I have been together since high school, so we were already together when I became a vegan a few years ago. I respect the fact that he eats meat and he respects the fact that I dont... he even surprises me with nice vegan meals when im stressing with work. Its all about respect. however, he has become more conscious about the sources of his meat, only eating organic, free-range, locally raised meat (while I know this is still meat and i wouldn't eat it, it shows he cares).
As for making 2 meals, I've been doing that for years anyway because he has celiac disease (gluten intolerance) so he cannot eat wheat, flour, pasta, bread, etc. So now I just make a gluten free meal and a vegan meal. What will be difficult is deciding which way to raise our kids, because I am definitely not making a 3rd meal lol
it really does depend on the people themselves
ive been with my meat eating boyf for 10 years,we are both happy with each other, i wouldnt make him be veggie, and he wouldnt make me eat meat
its not hard at all no, the only thing is the occasional mess and the smells, but he eats a bit of my veggie food as well so its not all the time,
being veggie was my choice, i dont make others, least of all soemone i love, do something just cos i wanna do it, nor does he
;-)
I am a vegan, and I really don't think I could date a meat eater. It is very hard to find male vegs though. For me it is about the animals and I need someone who is just as passionate and compassionate as I am. There is no way someone who is passionate and compassionate towards animals would still eat meat. It is hypocritical.
For the past two years I was in a relationship and living with a man who not only eats meat, but comes from a long line of butchers and hunted quite a bit during his childhood. I never had a problem with his diet and he never had a problem with mine. Very rarely did we have to make two separate meals. Normally, we had very similar dishes that were cooked separately or had his meat added after I took my serving.
You would have to make two separate meals, but it wouldn't hurt to try new things, I believe trying new things would be fun for you even though I have never tried being vegan nor vegetarian. I have never been in your situation, but would a person have to loose.
I'm veggie and my other half isn't. Typically, I do most of the cooking, so she'll eat veggie when we're eating home-cooked food. If we get take-out or eat out she'll usually get meat then, which is fine by me cos I don't have to cook it.
I would hope he would be at least vegetarian, but it wouldn't be the deciding factor. If he eats meat, then I would probably be fine with it as long as he is fine with my diet.
I lived with a meat eater when I was vegetarian and we decided that the house was a meat free zone but what he ate outside was his own business, which worked well.
I guess it would be hard to live with them because you'd have to make 2 separate meals.. but really, it depends on what you'd be comfortable with.
It doesn't really bother me, as long as they're not always offering me meat or anything.
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I don't judge people because of their eating habits.
I mind to eat meat.It is not good for health.Yes it is very difficult to live with them together.
I want someone who shares the same values as me
So I'd want to date a vegan guy
I'm 46, come from a very rural area in Aus. The only other vegetarians I know are women. Everyone has a choice
As long as he is supportive and I don't have to cook his meat...
I would not date anyone who didn't eat meat. That is just silly to me, and i'd want to share my passion for food with my partner, and that includes MEAT!!!
