Facing tough time being vegetarian

[Guest guest]

Hello Group

I am sorry to send this post in this group. But I don't know where else to go

and who else will understand what I am going through emotionally and mentally

right now. Just because of the food I ordered Yesterday night. I ordered and was

having Tofu & Sauteed veg bowl at World Wrapp, AMC Mercado, Santa Clara, CA,

USA. And they added chicken in it. I am VEGETARIAN FROM BIRTH Man! ????

 

Is it wrong to be a vegetarian and live in harmony with people who don't eat Non

Veg? I never tried to convert people to vegetarianism, then why can't Non

Vegetarians be kind and Open enough to be careful to our sentiments?

 

Is it wrong to expect, to be honored of one's choice of being vegetarian when

you go out and have dinner where non-veg is also served? I was skeptical when

the dish arrived. and was eating very carefully. Spotted some nonveg piece. told

Yogish to taste as he eats non veg. Yes, I am touchy and really careful when it

comes to my food.

Leave apart taking food from one's plate who is eating non-veg, I won't even

used for cooking non-veg. Just because there is no escape from smell and people

eating non-veg here, I adjust. else I would run away.

 

 

Fine if they cannot respect people's wishes, they should clearly state in front

of the restaurant, " ONLY NON VEGETARIANS Allowed. Vegetarians be aware. You can

be served pieces of beef, meat, chicken or fish if you order with us. We are

INSENSITIVE to Vegetarians. They have no rights to follow Their Choice " .

Yogish confirmed it was chicken piece. Why can't people take care while catering

to vegetarian people. Why this insensitivity?

IF You care about this issue, please forward it to other friends in Bay Area,

let is spread through out the world.

 

It is not that I have anything against Non Vegetarians but I Need Respect

regarding my Choice. I wish to be respected and treated with respect because I

do the same. I never impose my choice of Food on other people.

Why can't they Keep veg and non veg utensils separate? Why can't they keep veg

products too separate? Restaurants will lose <50% clientele if all vegetarians

decide not to eat in such restaurants resulting in Non Veg eating family members

to be forced to eat at home and that too veg. I am sure no one will like that.

 

There is so much more that I want to say right now but don't even know if people

may shrug off their shoulder and say They said sorry. So what. It happens. But

the issue has not been solved and will not be...

 

 

 

why can't we raise our voice and let people know that they should be careful and

be sensitive to our choice. where is the respect for vegetarians when things

like these happen? I am really shaken because it makes me think, we are

disregarding even ourselves if we are not raising our voice and letting govt or

local govts make laws that will be sensitive to vegetarians. why not? We are no

different than other people. are we?
