Vegetarianism is a personal choice

[Guest guest]

I agree with you! This is my personal choice. I do not try to convert others.

My husband hates any kind of shellfish and he would never eat it to be polite.

That's his choice and nobody ever questions that. My choice is not to eat

anything that has even touched the meat. Why do people question that?

 

I'm more than willing to take food wherever I go so I am rarely faced with that

decision. I find that most of my friends and family are quick to warn me when

there is an animal product in a dish. I have never figured out why some people

think potatoes should be simmered in chicken broth. Oh well, that's their

personal choice. I never question it but thank them for warning me and I just

don't eat the potatoes.

Same here, I would skip eating those taters too.

My friends at work look out for me, because they

know I am a vegetarian. At our company xmas

party that is catered, there were some

curious/questionable items on the buffet.

I asked my friends if they thought the egg rolls

had meat etc. and they could not be sure,

so I just didn't try any.

 

Thankfully there was a nice pasta primavera served

for the vegetarians as a main course option.

But many of the appetizer things just looked too iffy.

I stuck with salad and the cut raw veggies and dip.

 

Did you have a Merry Christmas?

You know...I really do think others are thinking we are judging them for eating

meat...not the case.  We do what we want...and respect others for their

choices.  It is such a personal thing.

Hi

 

I had a great Christmas. We celebrated last weekend with my family on Sat and

my husband's on Sun. Yesterday was a quiet day

 

How about you?
