I have been saying I'm just trying to eat healthy - no cholesterol and saturated fat. I just find it easiest to give that explanation, although it's a much more complex and varied decision of course. Everyone, wait staff, friends, relatives, say they could never give up their meat, what about barbeques, etc... It is very frustrating, I didn't say anything about their choice, it's simply my choice. I don't want to hear why they love their meat.<br><br><br><br>
A few times I have gone more indepth when they ask why, it's hard to answer because there are so many reasons to go vegan. I then fill up with a few tears while I say a few words about the way these animals have lived, the water, air, and soil we're polluting and how these precious resources are disappearing.<br><br><br><br>
On the other hand, we've been getting our friends to go with us to more veg-friendly restaurants now and then.
