    I‘ve only met one vegan IRL, but it was pretty much exactly like the top, the bottom I’ve only seen online. They said to me if I more people reduce meat consumption that would be a great contribution to their cause. They didn‘t shame me, only explained their POV. I couldn‘t quite see it then, but agreed on parts of it. I did end up eating less meat and been vegetarian for a few months now, which I never thought possible.

      I’ve only had two that I met were the bottom type but then again I actively choose not to befriend those type of people.

      The vegetarians and vegans that are in my life are great people, including my sister in law, we understand each other, we can talk about stuff, trade recipes, and I’ve been trying to replicate this black cherry and pine nut risotto I had at her engagement party.

      I mean just don’t be a dick, it’s not that hard.
