Does being vegetarian restricts you in some ways? |
I mean, because most of the people around are non-vegetarian, so you can't eat/share with them. Yes it does if you try to live the same life you did before you went veg. However, just learn to adapt to situations. I went vegan and have learned how to eat at a regular restaurant, although it can be very tough depending on the place and sometimes you might have to cheat. (i.e., Japanese restaurants are the worst because fish flakes are in everything, even the sauces) I have been able to eat/share vegan food with friends/family who are even closed minded about such foods. Best thing is to give them things that aren't too crazy for them and don't tell them it's veg. Or point out how some everyday common foods are veg (PB&J sandwich is a very common vegan lunch for kids). Vegetarians are a pain in the ***. I will not go to restaurants with them, they harass the staff, asking hundreds of questions, and then complaining because there's nothing for them to eat. Or flat out refuse to go where I want to go and I always have to go to some creepy smelly Vegetarian Thai place (the same one every time). When the reality is that they surely consume some level of meat products on a regular basis. There's gotta be a little beef in the broth. Besides, who could be vegetarian as long as bacon exists? I don't have a soloution. I think being vegetarian/vegan is restricting, but in a good way. I don't want to be romantically involved with someone who consumes flesh, so I think it is good that it turns me off. Yeah, it can be a problem romantically. I married an omni, but if he suddenly died or something, I'm pretty sure I would only date other vegans/vegetarians, just because the strain the lifestyle differences put on the relationship. The resriction is self imposed. Many vegetarians/vegans are involved in "mixed" (read with non veggies) relationships without any problems at all. Sure it is, it restricts you from eating animal products. you can try veggiedate and look for singles in your area that are also vegetarians. I am also veg. but we live in the society where all type of people lives. So, change your thinking but always become veg, it can be restricting when i am out... for instance at a wedding this weekend i got stuck with a potato and veggies (the other people's sides) and was pretty hungry :/ i also had to deal with my bf eating a huge steak. but he eats veg with me 90% of the time so if he wants that, he wants it. but most times i have no problem finding and maaking more than enough foods for me to eat. in fact i eat a lot more variety than i used too. You just have to get to know some vegetarians in your area. Learn to eat meat once in a while, or get a dog. |
