It woulndnt be like a formal announcment or anything, it would just be us saying we can't eat their food Cuz we're vegan instead of saying we're not hungry or making an excuse. I wanna be a PROUD vegan and if people have a problem and make a big deal then I wanna tell them to back off and tell them how it is! I'm tired of feeling like a coward...but my boyfriends family is HORRIBLE and pretty much hanging us up on a cross and verbally crucify us...and embarass us, I don't want that kind of negative attention directed at me, especially since it's a family gathering and I'm out numbered. And I know that, that would be the only thing they would talk to us about. And it scares me but at the same time I've had enough being a coward...any advice on how to deal with them? And PLEASE include how you deal with ignorant family members that TRULY believe being vegan is unhealthy
Two incidents happened: went to a graduation party and they only had fruit salad...his family has this problem when Verne (my bf) doesn't with the family and constantly pester him as if he's gonna starve. We told them we already ate but his grandma wouldn't leave him alone, and his dad keeps trying to get him to eat fish!! It's so annoying, and yes I live with his dad and step mom. They are like a mafia in a way
And the second incident was on fathers day when his whole family went to a casino buffet and they SERIOUSLY were talking about us and stare at us when we were only 3 feet away eating our food that didn't include meat or dairy...they are very gossipy!!
