well, whenever people find out i'm vegan... they usually want to argue with me... or say that i'm unhealthy... or just stare and wonder why. (they're not always rude... but they've never understood either.. even after i explain it)

well, today in personal fitness, we were cooling off after running, and well, i could make this into a LOOONG story.. but basically i ended up teling this guy i was vegan... he had the typical response...

but then this other guy that i wasn't even talking to started to talk to me.. about how much he respects that.. how he agrees,.... but hasn't gone veg*n because its expensive... and he lacks the ummm.... effort i think he said to check EVERYTHING he's eating... i mean, that's pretty lazy, but whatever.. during the conversation with the guy that just blankly stared at me when i said that, HE was defending me.... saying all these things to the first guy, it was awesome! i was so happy - someone that understands! (well, more or less).

i just felt like sharing. :D

Aww :)

:) Nice, in a world of: "I don't give a ****, we're higher on the food chain." There's hope yet.

oh, today i was in english and this girl told me how much she respects vegans. and how much she encourages it... adn how she doesnt have any leather or anythign (usually when peple say things like "oh, i dont have any leather" or "i dont eat that much meat anyway" it sound so stupid/fake.. but when seh said it it soudned genuine)

anyway, point of story - i had ANOTHER great conversation about veganism. two days in a row. this is awesome! :)
people understand!.... somewhat (they obviously dont understand COMPLETELY but it'll work. XD)

Aww that's so cool. More people need to be like that.

My Grandad checks most of the labels on the food he buys so he knows I can eat something when I come over for tea.
:D He's really nice and supportive.
Makes you feel great when people are just...nice.

Yeah, it's amazing!! People usually give you some crap answer about it and dont really care, or worse they give you **** about it. It's nice to have someone come to your defense.

i know! it's great.

he doesnt really talk a lot though. i had the class with him since i posted that, and he just kind of sits there for about ten seconds, literally, an dthen leaves.

mmm, i think i'l try to talk to him more later.
but if he doesnt want to.. that's okay
