Hi everyone.
I´m new about a plant based diet just tu months trying vegetarian lifestyle, veganism the goal ahead.

My family seems like "whatever" about my new lifestyle wich is good, but I had some issues with friends and workmates who invited me to have lunch, meat ofcourse, it sucks because they seems to eat just meat, friend´s birthday parties are the hardest because some of them can get offended if I don´t eat their food., so I don´t know how to deal with it.
and now I´m looking for vegetarian/vegan business in my area because personally I don´t know any vegan or vegetarian.

ofcourse I´ll be around here looking for advice.:laugh:

Hi bearminator and welcome!

I'm not sure where you are in Mexico but there are a few websites that have listings of vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurants and businesses around the world. Have you tried these yet:

I also found a vegetarian meetup group in Mexico City:

http://www.meetup.com/Mexico-City-Vegetarians-Vegans-Meetup/

If you go to the meetup site and type in your city maybe you will find some local groups there?

Otherwise, Veggieboards is a great source of support and camaraderie! Glad you found us!

Are they inviting you out to eat, or ordering meat-based lunches in? It will take some finagling and lots of practice, but eventually you will become skilled at finding something vegetarian or vegan at most restaurants- of course, some are easier than others and you'll have to get good at being assertive when you place your order. Good luck!
