I think I'm ...Seriously, what is wrong with people? <BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to post an Op-Ed article I had written a few years back for my college paper about being a vegan on my blog.<BR/><BR/>The most frustrating thing about our society is that so rarely do people even ask us our opinions. All that needs to be remotely mentiond in a social setting where people are about to eat is part of the word "veg--" and they're off! Rather than start an intelligent discussion, they assault us with prejudgment in their voices and staunch-yet-uninformed opinions in their heads. That's cool if you want to be ignorant and all, but then why are you harassing me at lunch if your mind is already made up? I mean my gold sesame tofu, fresh greens and vegan cupcake are waiting for me. Also, do you like it when your friends or family are nagging you while you eat? Because although I've gotten used to it, it's still hard to digest sometimes when there's someone particularly obnoxious at the table.<BR/><BR/>These people have zero interest in the lives we (joyfully) live; they are just looking for justification because they have weak personalities and need society to tell them they are "right."<BR/><BR/>Phew!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for pointing out the article and its response.<BR/><BR/>RachelAdorned by Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270382473024257926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908952745169451157.post-78446307563307576222007-06-26T16:29:00.000-07:002007-06-26T16:29:00.000-07:00I'm so glad that you posted this- I read the NYTim...I'm so glad that you posted this- I read the NYTimes and I didn't catch this one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this and I second that Hallelujah.vkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062889933701288004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908952745169451157.post-28181296668798051812007-06-26T12:48:00.000-07:002007-06-26T12:48:00.000-07:00The sensationalism of statements and articles abou...The sensationalism of statements and articles about the child's death being a result of a vegan diet really gets people's attention. It's good this additional article was written, but it's too bad that more people won't see or read it. I wouldn't have if you hadn't posted this and your earlier comments...thanks.<BR/>Love, JudyJudyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688337387282502132noreply@blogger.com
