I just stopped eating meat about 2 months ago. I have never gotten so much crap in my life about something I chose to do! When I went on a strict diet 2 years ago and lost a bunch of weight, people were cheering me on -- now even my own family and boyfriend are teasing me and saying I am in love with bees, or I want to change the way they eat, which I have not done.
Why is everyone so defensive? Why can't people let me just not eat meat? I am not killing babies or anything...I just want to not eat meat anymore. Why do they even care? I try to just ignore them, but they push me to the point where it really makes me wonder why they are so tormenting on this seemingly insignificant lifestyle change.
Anyone else experience this? Will it end?
