yep, I’m a veggie.you don’t like it? sorry…

Went to my nans for goulasch today (a hungarian stew type thing thats popular with us germans lol) and it  was LUSH! i havent had it in soooo long. she did me a special vegetarian version lol. she is so worried about pleasing other people she makes so many sacrifices for everyone lol and she was like panicking so bad about whether my veggie version would turn out right. mine was better than their meat version lol. i went on a bit of a moan thru dinner. my dad has had this idea that him and mum shouldnt eat red meat for a month. she’s going along with it to humour him but i made him realise it is a pointless stupid idea. he goes on about wanting to lose weight but he goes on these little fads and eats his stupid rivetta but takes no notice when i point out that he eats big portions, has chinese every saturday night, lots of beer and red wine and chips and blah blah blah. then my mum is all like “i dont have time to cook all these healthy meals for us to lose weight” and im like “yes you do, you just prefer to watch TV”  “don’t i deserve a break after ive been at work all day then done the housework?” “yes, of course, im not the one saying you should lose weight. just dont complain about your size if you’re not prepared to make some sacrifices” etc etc etc same conversations all the time lol. and then i went on to complain about KFC and talk about all the horrible stuff they do to the poor little chickens lol. They all fell silent when i finished explaing about the little lumps in the chicken fillet burgers being the cysts that the chickens develop. hehe wooness! ive put more people off KFC.

Then we got onto the topic of people in Germany and Hungary and Sweden etc etc eatign horse meat. my mum was like “poor little horsies” and i was like “poor little cow that you’re eating now”. my mum said “but you cant ride cows” (with a laugh)…i decided not to give another lecture and kept my gob shut. they woudlnt listen anyway.

you know what pisses me off? whenever i go out with work for a meal, the first thing im asked (by someone, usually my boss, with a stupid grin) is “so are you still sticking to this vegetarian stuff?” ok, ive only been a veggie for like 8 months or something like that but thats now how long ive wanted to be one. and thats not how long ive been avoiding meat as much as possible.thats not how long ive been convincing my friends to eat at other places rather than mcdonalds so that i could actually have something to eat without feeling sick and getting upset afterwards. i just purely wasnt allowed because i didnt cook for myself every night and my mum would have to put in extra effort. it’s so degrading that they think that my opinions on this subject are temporary, that this is just a fad. Ok, im not  a protestor, i dont go along with Rob to KFC. Ok, i dont lecture people about it (they dont listen anyway and i believe everyone has the right to choice what they want to do) but that doesnt make me any less worthy of the respect my decision not to eat meat deserves. Ok, perhaps it makes it a tiny more difficult for you lot to share the groupl meals between the 7 of you and me to have a separate meal ordered. but, surely, that means you guys have one less person to worry about when choosing with group meal to have?? it makes absolutely no difference. i still contribute the same amount of money (usually more because you guys never tip much). but, im supposed to give up everything i stand for just to suit you? urgh.

of course, i would never actually moan to then, just for a quiet life. Ill carry on doing what i do every time “yep…still a veggie”.
