I am so tired of being asked about what I eat only to be met with "uh huh" looks and scrutiny about the littlest of things. Just leave me alone and let me live my life. I am not pushing anything on anyone. I only give advise when asked.....so bug off. Anyone have any advise on how to cope better. I find myself very frustrated as of late.


.....Thanks!

I just take the sarcastic route which I know is very childish and say I eat fresh air and lettuce. Its what they are thinking anyway. When people are genuinely interested in what I eat I give them the real answer and they usually ask for some recipes which is fantastic. As for the haters, fresh air and lettuce all the way haha.

Tell them that you eat the same thing they eat, because you do. There aren't too many people who are carnivores. Most people are omnivores, which means they eat all the same stuff you do.


But, if all else fails, "eating humans" is defenitly an awesome response! LOL @ Erica.

Yes...Thank you very much!


It is actually a very intelligent answer (science prooves it, read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6180753.stm )


Anyway, i'm having trouble explaining my eating habits to everyone. I feel like i am defending myself all the time!!!! I don't know...it's exhausting! And people are such stubborns!


Anyway, show patience my friend!

I just get so tired of defending. I am happy being a vegan so don't tell me I can't be healthy doing so when you are eating meat and are fat and on medications for your health. Duh.....clue in people. Our food is killing us!!!!Love all your comments. It's nice to remember I am not alone!!



xoxoxox to all my veg-head friends!

Love the eating humans comment. Will probably use that one at this year's family reunion. I spent most of last year's defending my food (BTW they all ate it, with an unhealthy side of dead cow)
