Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi, and welcome to Vegan Chat. Unfortunately, the reaction from others seems to be pretty standard and ongoing. Try to not let it upset you. Personally, I think it best not to preach to people about what they eat. When offered non-vegan things just decline gracefully. When people are rude, ask them not to be. Good luck Jo , Jessica Brady <jessie23psos wrote: > > Hey and thanks for enviting me to this group. So, I have only recently decided to go vegan. It's kind of a By-Chance situation. I was waiting for my dog to get out of the vet office and decided to go to the Books A Million next door to kill some time. I got a smoothie and just sat down, as I was looking around I spotted the Skinny Bitch book and I just had to pick it up. I finished the 1st 3 chapters in the store. Of course I bought it and finished the rest the next day. Since then I have been doing lots of researce on-line and have read some books from the local library. Changing what I am eating has been the easy part. I have never been a big meat eater and I love veggies already, so not a big deal for me. The hard part is dealing with the critizism I am getting from my husband and his parents. Who by-the-way have a freezer that contains a 400 lb hog they killed and had butchered and who still think the Adkins diet may work. > It's gross. So, I would love to know just how ya'll deal with this kind of situation. What should I tell everyone? How should I react? > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
