| Friend: | What looks appetizing to you? |
|---|---|
| Me: | Oh, I'm not having anything because it's passover and I'm vegan. |
| Friend: | Are you just vegan for passover? |
| Me: | No... |
| Friend: | Oh, so do you eat cheese? |
| Me: | No. |
| Friend: | Do you eat eggs? |
| Me: | Nope... |
| Friend: | So, where do you get your protein? |
| Me: | Oh, protein is everywhere! |
| Friend: | Do you like Indian food? |
| Me: | Well I don't like spice that much, but yeah. |
| Friend: | Yeah, cause Indians have a lot of vegetarian dishes. |
| Me: | Mhmmm. |
| I'M SORRY DO I QUESTION YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR DIET? IF I AM VEGAN, THEN NO, I DO NOT EAT EGGS OR CHEESE. SORRY. I THINK I ALREADY KNOW WHERE I GET MY PROTEIN. "OH, YOUR RIGHT! I DON'T HAVE A SOURCE OF PROTEIN IN MY DIET, DO I! THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW!" The sad thing is is that this happens ALL.THE.TIME. Please STOP being ignorant and treat me like a person. I think i know what I eat and what I don't eat. I think I am very well aware that the Indians have lots of vegetarian dishes. And she just kept saying like, "oh there's this great dish! oh, but im sorry it had (insert animal product here) in it. but it can be made vegan." | |
| next time someone asks me "what made you decide to become vegan?" i am going to answer "what made you decide to eat meat?" how do you like that. | |
| I'm definitely stealing the "What made you decide to eat meat?" line. |
