Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Congrats! on getting your friend to watch the video, I doubt I could get anyone to do that. I think you should celebrate by going to a veggie restaurant together But your story reminds me of something. Does anyone have this experience- people who don't argue with your vegetarianism, but yet aren't vegetarian themselves, who get very proud and like to announce to you about how little meat they are eating lately? this is not a complaint, but always puzzling to me. My boyfriend, who will most likely never go veggie, likes to tell me about all the veggie things he's been eating, and I just act indifferent bc I don't know if he just wants my approval or what. I could shower these people with praise, but I don't feel that what other people decide to eat should have much to do with my reaction.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 I do get the people that tell me (after they find out I don't eat meat) 'Oh, I don't really eat meat either--maybe some chicken sometimes'. I much prefer comments over that than the 'Why bother?' defensive comments I sometimes get. I think all in all not eating meat is an admirable thing. A lot of people believe its the right thing to do yet don't follow through on their convictions---I know, I've been there. Once my husband and I decided eating meat wasn't the 'right' thing for us to do, we jumped in with both feet. *My 4 year old son makes sure what he is eating is meatless before he will eat.* I found more often that other people besides the Vegans/Vegetarians like to talk about your choices more than you do. Happy to be part of this list and discussions. Alyssa --- G <purple_fruit wrote: > Congrats! on getting your friend to watch the video, > I doubt I could > get anyone to do that.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 Dear Friends, Bruce Friedrich just forwarded the very exciting news to me that PR Week wants photographs from our demonstration tomorrow. This is encouraging, and falls in line with Bruce's feeling that the media will be more likely (rather than less) to cover the presence. Again, this is our chance to celebrate our strength in advocating for the animals. Best, Alka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
