Vegan problems with friends??
Ive been a vegetarian for over a year and I have just become a vegan. I love being a vegan b/c i know im making a difference and saving animal lives and its also very healthy. But my friends aren't being very considerate about it. They had no problem with me being a vegetatrian bc they both are half-vegetarians. But when i pronounced that i was a vegan some problems came up. It was all "OMG how are you going to survive" and "How can you live without starbucks frapachinos?!!" I go over to their house alot and they say i wont have anything to eat. But ik theyre wrong bc the world isnt all about food and yes i will have stuff to eat (just not the greesy mac and cheese or milk and cereal). I dont know how to tell them that they need to just shut up and respect my beliefs. help??
Answers:
they may be simply worried about you, but youve already answered your own question
you tell them that they should respect your beliefs,
thats about it, if they are real friends they wont bother you again unless they are truly worried about you and you can calm their fears by informing and educating them on what kind of things you will eat and that you will get your supplements etc.
