Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I went away with some friends for the wknd and this one girl kept asking me things like "so when did you become a vegan?" and "is there anything here that’s vegan you can eat"? In her defense, one of the other guys with us WAS a vegan, but my god, how hard is it to keep track of the difference! Its not like she was asking him about being gluten free, in fact she kept asking us both about being vegan! Just wanted to rant :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I had to put up with certain close family members refusing to accept the idea that 'just a little' wouldn't hurt, or that simple basic cross-contamination issues would cause me problems. They would get angry with me when I refused to eat contaminated food. It is still kind of an issue, five years later, like as if it were all my fault. Seriously, WTF? Nothing like a good rant first thing in the morning. -JoeOn Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 6:52 AM, <TrVerb@...> wrote: Oh, those fathers-in-law!
