Hi guys.
I have introduced myself as a wannabe vegan. I am currently a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. I don't have the support of my family, one example being that they keep buying me leather goods. Everytime I see my sister she asks me what I eat, like I'm starving myself or something (which I'm not!). Anyway, just mentioning I was thinking about veganism upset everyone quite a lot.
I'm not completely ruling out veganism for myself, I just think I should try to be a healthier vegetarian before thinking about it. I feel like I'm letting everyone down though.
I guess what I'm asking is this: how do vegetarians and vegans feel about each other? Are we all in the same boat or is there a feeling that vegetarians could do more? Am I a bad person for not being vegan?
