well, my current gf respects my choice to be a vegan, but after talking to her about it a few times, her arguement almost seems kind of contradictive. anyway, here it is:
she's big into organic and natural foods. the problem here is that she tells me free range and local animal products are just fine. instead of argue too much with her (because things get kinda heated in a hurry), I just tell her that those types of "food" are better than what most omni's eat.
and to top it all off, even though she claims to only like organic/natural food, she admits to not always buying/eating those items AND she eats at fast food places. her excuse is that it's impossible or inconvienient to do otherwise...
but if I go and have like something vegan with some added nutrients, she gets all annoyed and tells me that in her diet she doesn't need to do that and she reminds me how much she is against fortified foods.
it's not like she yells at me for it, but she acts like eating fried chicken is better than me having a bottle of vitamin water (which I don't even drink all that often) or fortified soymilk.
I can understand where she's coming from, but I still believe that the lifestyle I choose is so much better for myself and for the environment. I can understand eating like vegan foods that have been processed a million times and have preservatives, but I don't eat many foods like this at all. I don't even eat tofu all that much and other foods like that...
anyone else have a partner/gf/bf who has a similar "beef" with veg*nism? it's not "natural" enough for them?
*sigh*
