What was people's reaction when you told them you were changing to vegetarian/vegan?
My brother said "That's a big difference. She never ate meat anyway." I never liked pork, steak, or any red meat when I was little. All I would eat was chicken or crab. But that changed.
Answers:
I became vegan and received different reactions from different people.
Friends:
"You're just going through a phase, you'll get over this in a month"....Six months later and they still say it's just a phase I'll get over.
Mom:
"You'll get sick. This is weird. You're not normal. You're starving yourself."...She now eats all my vegan meals and says I'm a better cook than she is. She doesn't even buy meat anymore, but she still uses real butter on toast and honey in her tea though.
Boyfriend:
"OMG, LOL! PETA has gotten to you. You're going to turn in to one of those crazy people who plans to break in to an animal testing lab to free the animals."...He became vegan too after a few months lol.
That's about how the closest people to me reacted.
