However, another guest was "curious" about my vegan diet and grilled me with questions (before I even took my first bite! how cruel!). How do you get your protein? Is it safe? etc. It was obvious she was already predisposed to believing that a vegan diet is "unsafe." I countered pretty well but I thought afterwards, why not turn the tables on these people next time and instead of "proving" to them that a vegan diet is healthy, why not ask them to explain why the sausage on their plate is? he he he! Of course, I think of these things after the fact!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408260969108340619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955473974356652675.post-74574728993207691852009-03-29T23:38:00.000-07:002009-03-29T23:38:00.000-07:00Bullies are really hard to deal with, especially i...Bullies are really hard to deal with, especially if they are close to you... you have to just stick with your beliefs and keep to your commitments.<BR/><BR/>I have a few people in my life who don't understand why I am vegetarian and struggling towards being vegan... but like I said, stick to it anyways!Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392959699494758907noreply@blogger.com
