[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a vegetarian, so I can somewhat relate. Someone says "you gotta try lunch at Porky's BBQ," I say "oh I'm not a fan of bbq but I'll tell my husband." Fine. But often, people will press (goes for any subject matter), to a point either right away or later in the conversation, I need to say I'm a vegetarian. My declaration doesn't come out of nowhere. It's part of the general conversation of "you really should go to Porky's even if you don't love bbq, they have burgers too, oh speaking of good burgers, have you tried Burger Hut..."

Conversation with my vegan friend include the same thing. I say ",OMG I Love that pizza place, their crust is the best, " and she might respond" I agree, but I wish they'd offer a vegan pizza. "

As you can imagine, the naturally occurring mention of vegan/vegetarianism often spurs more questions about how long have you been vegetarian, why are you, don't you miss burgers how do you get your vitamins? And next thing you know, you're accused of being one of those people who can't shut up about their diet.

You’re…not who we’re talking about. I don’t know how many times it’s been pointed out, but I’ll say it again: Not all vegans are super-annoying. There are many vegans who are welcome in my home for dinner because they are gracious, helpful guests. That said, what do you expect your friend to do about the pizza place not offering a vegan pizza? If you don’t want to go there for dinner, fine. But if someone is just saying they love a restaurant, you can say something positive and not Make It About Vegan Options. [/quote]
