To wonder why so many people try to 'convert' vegetarians into eating meat?

[justnotaballetmum]

I have not eaten meat for a number of years but for a period of time did eat fish.

I am now vegetarian. I am not vegan, but I try to avoid dairy.

As such, I choose not to give my children meat and fish although they do eat dairy.

I get a number of comments/stories like 'Ooh, I had this friend who was veggie - Until I gave her BACON! And now, she can't stop eating it!' I also get people commenting on I must miss roast lamb (I miss chicken more, actually!) and passing judgement on my children.

Since moving more towards veganism the critical comments have multiplied.

What are people's problems with my diet?

i have no issue whatsoever with sis in law wearing leather shoes or eating haribo as long as she doesn't have an issue with me eating meat! My judgement is simply a response to hers... Ps she doesn't eat the veggie haribo as she doesn't like them. As far as I'm concerned everyone around can eat whatever they like but don't judge my life decisions unless you want me to question yours
