A good friend of mine has turned Vegan (rant alert)

And is banging on about how disgusting the meat industry is etc etc, putting provocative shit on facefuck and generally shoving it down my throat. (and her other friends too i imagine). She has two young children and is now thinking about feeding them a vegan diet too - great, im sure its very healthy, whoopie. But i don't want to become a vegan, i was veggie for a while but found it too restrictive i am too lazy and expensive to eat properly. Whatever.

You know what - if you want to be veggie, great, if you want to be and can manage to be vegan - respect! but fuck off with trying to make me feel guilty for not doing the same thing. EVERY fucking time i see or talk to you. especially when the last time i saw you shopping in tesco before you met a new group of friends you were buying battery farmed eggs

She tried to make me have soya milk and really got shitty when i said, no i'll have proper milk please, because actually, and i can't be 100% sure it was the soya or quorn but i had an allergic reaction and had to be blue lighted to hospital when i ate a veggie spag bol once before, so no thankyou very much. Thinking back i could have just had black coffee but was tired and mind fucked from her going on about the poor fucking cows....

Rant over

If she wants to be a vegan, fine. If she wants to start chunnering on about animal rights, not fine.

i have a friend who is vegan she never preaches about it and makes the tastiest cakes i have ever tasted, the only time i think about her diet is if she is coming to mine for dinner i check everything i am going to cook for animal products and quite happily eat vegan myself that night and when i go to hers for dinner eat whatever she has cooked without even thinking about what im eating

Issey I like to think my friends would describe me the same way. Most of my colleagues and less close friends don't even know I'm vegan, they don't need to know unless they invite me over for a meal.

I have noticed lots of threads on here over the last few days about vegans/veganism where some meat eaters seem to really have an issue with vegans and don't stop interrogating and ridiculing, it's bizarre Confused

I wonder if the OP's friend is still a vegan Wink
