~secret/non-confrontational veg*ns 4ever~

vikkiage:

• making people like us with our vegan baked goods that we bake “just in case anybody has any food intolerances”
• using “I’m lactose intolerant and I had a bad experience with eggs once” as an alternative to “I’m vegan” whenever it’s applicable
• avoiding social events that involve food so you won’t have to deal with people giving you shit for not eating meat/dairy/eggs
• living in caves with no company other than a stockpile of chocolate soymilk and lentils
• only travelling under the cloak of night
• it’s a lonely life but hey someone’s gotta do it

Yeah, having to say ‘I don’t really eat eggs/milk/meat’ because everyone attacks you or gets defensive as soon as you mention the dreaded V word.

Or people personally making it their business to destroy your life and divide your friendship group through lies and passive aggressive comments just because they found out you were veg* and it made them feel guilty about their lifestyle. (tru story)

And avoiding most social situations after that, especially BBQs because of the constant confrontations and unwanted attention and ‘you can use the BBQ last… after you’ve cleaned it yourself…because it’s not fair to make everyone else wait to eat’ and the arguments or ‘debates’ or ‘I’m really interested’ conversations that you didn’t want to have but you will always come out as the bad guy in anyway. Not going to restaurants because being hungry makes you moody and the portions for veg*s are TINY and often you have to send it back because they got it wrong.
