Ex-Veg*ns/Future Veggies

[Guest guest]

What is everyone's opinion of people that call themselves vegetarian

and eat fish or chicken. It bothers me that when (at least while

living on the East Coast) when I have told people that I am a vegan

they still ask me if I eat fish. I know that there are grey areas

for vegans (honey) and veggies; however, a fish is an animal and so

is a chicken...I also notice that what someone's partners eating

habits are can make it so that someone who could be a veggie does

not make the next step to become one...For example, one of my

relatives has tried tofu and does drink soy milk but will share a

domino's pizza with her husband who a meat cutter...

 

P.S. Since I am great vegan food eater and not much of a cook I

would love to try vegan croissants!
