My parents are pretty tolerant about this stuff, but the people around them aren't. To avoid getting into arguments with certain primitive types, I used to make up excuses, like saying I was allergic to meat or something. But lately, I just don't feel like performing for anyone. If you believe in something, others should respect that, just like you respect their beliefs. That’s why I’m standing my ground. Honestly, it’s for the best. People might nag you for a bit, but eventually, they give up. That's just how the world works...

Yeah, I totally went through the same thing. Over time, your folks will eventually accept the reality of it. Mine did, though they still give me grief whenever we hang out. They’re great to me, but I just got tired of explaining why I don't eat meat, so I'd tell them I was allergic just to shut things down. Otherwise, they'd just keep pushing. I was already sick of those same old repetitive questions... I even have a long-time friend who knows I don't eat meat, but every single time I visit him, he tries to tempt me with sausages or pepperoni. It's so frustrating.
It is funny, though—I've noticed something with my parents. Ever since I stopped eating meat, they've actually started eating much less of it themselves, even if they still think a "real" dinner isn't complete without a steak on the plate.
At least my husband never gave me any crap about it, haha!😉
