Another Veggie Venting...

I stopped eating red meat some 10 years ago. It was easy to give up. I was a junior in college and I realized that the meat was too expensive to buy, so I stopped buying it. Then I realized it was months since I had it. I was taking a large amount of biology course for my major and discovered that red meat wasn't really good for you anyway. Plus I had a vegetarian roommate. So I figured why go back to eating it.

I know many people have that, animals shouldn't be eaten thing, which I see but it was never really my foundation for not eating it. I still drink milk, use eggs, and cheese. I just wanted to be kinder to my body and noticed I felt better on less meat and now with no meat ( I do eat fish though ). Bottom line is I don't care what other's eat that is their body and business.

I digress...I have an uncle that is a vegetarian and when we have family gatherings on top of cooking for everyone else, I cook veggie meals for the two of us. My other uncles remind me of an English King sitting at a huge table with an entire pig in front of them. Nasty image but it is true.

I don't say a word to them...I figure to each their own. Of course to me they go on and on and ON about how veggie food is nasty and they would never eat fake meat, and they just don't leave me alone. I mean this has almost turned into knock down drag out arguments, which I don't like at all. I just want to eat in peace. I'm not bugging them. Maybe meat eating does make people more aggressive.
