I'm really researching going Vegan (not that the option is difficult) and things like the different ones you described above really make sense to me. I may not make sense right now but I'm really fascinated and opened up an avenue of thinking for me tonight.

It was a problem, I felt terrible. People saying to me that it was extreme to leave a relationship "just" because of that. That I am a fanatic vegan, that I am doing wrong. That love is more important. (I also got encouraging comments)<br /><br />But then, it is easy, isn't it?. I wouldn't share my life (children, etc) with a non-vegan (philosophically speaking, which includes welfarists, vegetarians, etc) the same way I wouldn't share my life with a racist that slaves people from other races or a feminist that treat man as inferiors or the way around.<br /><br />Is easy as that. I could live with someone that does not share my opinion about clothing, music, reading, politics at some point, etc, etc... but when the "opinion" involves prejudices that affect the life and freedom of others.. and when it is a lesson of "we are better, we are superiors" to our children.. well.. I won't be there!<br /><br />** I asked my husband to watch the film Earthlings together, and after we did so, and had a together analysis of the film, etc., he decided to stop supporting exploitation as well and he is today a happy vegan :-)Skailishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301717943429057949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225918268806787791.post-33933327054105138602008-07-21T10:22:00.000-04:002008-07-21T10:22:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for this post!

I've had a string of experiences lately where I've tried dating omnivores, experienced great chemistry between us, only to be rejected after the second date because I refuse to eat with them while they're eating corpses.<BR/><BR/>They feel judged and criticized, even though I've never made any critical remarks about their penchant for gorging on the recently deceased (ok, so I'm venting here - I don't use those terms with them!). I simply tell them that I choose not to eat with people while they consume animal products.<BR/><BR/>Is it really so difficult for them to curb their lust for flesh (other than mine) during the time we spend with each other?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've been on the receiving end of a lot of hostility about being vegan lately, and it was reassuring to read your post.

It is rather annoying the way everything is always put into lil perfect categories and labeled. <BR/><BR/>Either way! Good for you to stand up for what you believe in but to also be open minded and yet encouraging when it comes to a stupid omni! It is our duty to let them know what is truly going on to those animals :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225918268806787791.post-52267287000071376022008-01-14T21:17:00.000-05:002008-01-14T21:17:00.000-05:00I agree with you about core values.

Successful relationships must be formed from shared core values.<BR/>And I like the way you explained it here, too.Elaine Vigneaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678177594055407926noreply@blogger.com
