One thing the colleagues do to me when eating in regular restaurants is to put the veg dishes aside for me rather than having them shared like the rest of the stuff. And then they wouldn't get any veg! Not fair, so I put them all back... irritating. I'm good with the poker face when waiting for foods, but need more practice looking happy with just some plain cabbage.Jari (travelling-vegan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03784215875655480912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884216869081470716.post-62636007818970323582008-03-02T14:25:00.000+08:002008-03-02T14:25:00.000+08:00Tan: I wish you success in becoming a vegetarian :...Tan: I wish you success in becoming a vegetarian :) I set aside a date for myself to do so last time, I find it easier.dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759107307959319100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884216869081470716.post-25405677723856490242008-02-26T17:36:00.000+08:002008-02-26T17:36:00.000+08:00Wah ha ha Poker face, very hard to do since I am n...Wah ha ha Poker face, very hard to do since I am not a Poker player at all. <BR/><BR/>Sometime, doing the right thing doesn't means you are "right" if you fail under the minority group.. ;(<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I salute you for being Vegan, I myself trying to be a Vegetarian now, very hard but I will try my best (I hope if I can only do one right thing this year, I want to become Vegetarian).<BR/><BR/>I wish you well and happy ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109935690521294634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884216869081470716.post-85074171128137896792008-02-22T19:42:00.000+08:002008-02-22T19:42:00.000+08:00Generally, non-vegn friends at wedding dinner tabl...Generally, non-vegn friends at wedding dinner table will be curious of what vegn dishes will be served such as mock abalone/sharks fin but they always politely decline if I offer them as they think I would not have enough for myself:P<BR/>They are just being concerned, people are generally curious but kind...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884216869081470716.post-83925708169202117862008-02-22T11:16:00.000+08:002008-02-22T11:16:00.000+08:00Overcome the Fear.

As long as it is right, it does not hurt other, there is nothing wrong becoming a vegan or vegetarian. <BR/><BR/>I would not know exactly what the non-vegetarian think about me as a vegetarian. No point spending time speculating what they think. If I'm doing so, i am inviting troubles and wasting resources. At the end of the day, I maybe speculating things which is untrue. That's what i think lah :p<BR/><BR/>Cheers :)a veg*n @ Blog*Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465241286515444281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884216869081470716.post-71425460959139984092008-02-22T02:08:00.000+08:002008-02-22T02:08:00.000+08:00I hear you!I don't understand why people come up t...I hear you!<BR/><BR/>I don't understand why people come up to me to tell me their gross meat stories. One lady came into my office yesterday to tell me how her vegetarian photographer-daughter was asked to photograph a roasted goat--and hows he eventually decided to accept the assignment. I kept my poker face and said "I sure could not have done it."<BR/><BR/>But why do they need to tell me these things? To get a reaction?

I hate being the center of attention because of my veganism, and it is difficult for me to "have a poker face" sometimes, but these are the kind of situations we all have to deal with sometimes. Reading about fellow vegans' feelings helps enormously.<BR/><BR/>-Anni.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
