Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I completely understand it. We humans do not like to be forced into anything or to be dictated to. Most vegetarians has no idea how a=many meat eaters are considering vegetarianism but when a vegetarian picks at them they take 2 steps back, become defensive. It's always best to offer or share your food and let them see how delicious it is, let them see it isn't a bowl of lettuce with a carrot on the side.

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit --- On Thu, 11/26/09, Alexandra Soltow <pamra wrote Speaking from experience.. ..I used to be one of those mean meat-eaters! ! Many, many years ago I lived in a communal house in which a number of residents were vegetarian. I had tried vegetarianism on and off several times by then, so I wasn't opposed to it in any way. However, several of these aforementioned residents were of the school of thought that it was a good thing to tell other people what to eat, and I was (and am) of the school of thought that telling me what to do was not an advisable way of altering my behavior. So..... I must confess to really enjoying how much the aroma of my sausage-rice concoction annoyed the proselytizers. I gave up meat for good about six years later, and no longer take delight in annoying people, whatever their school of thought might be. (Most of the time, that is.......) Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 i agree, i do not tell anyone to stop eating meat. i do find that many are puzzled as to how healthy eating like that and only then do i go into how it is healthy and healthy for the planet. ________________________________ Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower Thu, November 26, 2009 11:17:39 AM [veg_grp] Alex Thanksgiving and non-veg family members  I completely understand it.
