In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

There's nothing to defend. Don't do this again. Where you get defensive in order to make me out to be offensive. I've done nothing offense.

Monkey, you were sarcastic. You've been sarcastic other times too but I let it slide. Not this time. Stop here.

Do you actually think I insulted Carla by saying she eats meat?

Good heavens no!! I don't want Carla analyzed. I will not allow it. She has done too much for us. Don't put her in that position. That's all. Drop it.

I gained compassion for veggies because I was one. It's ridiculous the amount of people who want to pick fights with you. Just the simple fact of not eating some product--like leaving it to the side of your plate--will start fights. People will notice. I remember this one guy found out I was a veggie through this method and from then on, for as long as I knew him, he would bring it up constantly whenever I saw him.

He would say stuff like, "So you must think you're so much better than the rest of us huh?"

and I'd be like, "...What?"

and he's like, "cause you're vegetarian."

After like a year of this my response was just, "Oh that again. Yeah pretty much. I guess so."

And it just happened here, in this very thread...

Thanks soooooo much for sharing, yossarian!!! I really appreciate your point of view. Bright blessings on your journey!
