Hello Willa

[Guest guest]

Hi Willa,

I've been a vegetarian for a very long time and I can

say it wasn't popular back then.

Now I'm trying to analyze this a little bit. Are you

ready to go down the vegetarian path, do you have

times you still miss meat a little and you weaken?

Once you make your mind up you will feel so good about

it that you can always work around people making

comments. It's my life and I do what I want and I

never force my vegetarianism on anyone and I rarely if

ever even have to mention it to anyone.

If I'm invited for dinner I usually take a dish with

me to donate to the dinner so I have something good to

eat along with whatever I find on the table. Believe

me it just falls into place.

Most people who are likely to invite me to a meal know that I am vegetarian, so

I don't worry about it. When I invite people here I always tell them that I am

vegetarian and cook that way, but I find that no on ever turns down a meal.

Most people actually ask for recipies.

Willa,

 

I agree with Donna, it really isn't a big deal. Some people don't

drink alcohol, and if someone asks them if they want a beer or some

wine, they just politely say no. I'd say 99% of my friends eat meat,

and if I go out to eat with them or go to a dinner party, I just ask

that they leave the meat off my plate, and eat everything else.

Sometimes I will eat a little cheese if there isn't much else

available. Another thing I do sometimes is eat before I go, that way

if there isn't much without animal products at least I'm not there

starving!

at my old job I used to go out with the girls from work. I was the only veg.

They were happy to accommodate me, like ordering the tater skins with no bacon

etc. It was never any problem for them and they wanted me to be happy too.
