I was recently at a barbecue at my boyfriend's families house.
His uncle, who might i mention was sweating liquor through his pores begins to tell me and my boyfriend that we will have to eat meat eventually because it is really unhealthy and that we need to eat meat. After that he begins telling us about a vegetarian that he knew that after six years had to go to the hospital because he was so sick from supposedly not eating meat. I replied (trying to be polite, i can't be mean i still have to have my boyfriends parents like me until we get married haha) "Actually, you are extremly incorrect people only need small amounts of protein and iron which they get from vegetables, nuts, beans as well as the mock meat products, Also, my doctor told me that i should not eat meat due to my heart problem that i was born with because meat is so bad for your heart as well as other things" After i said all this he continued to tell me that i was wrong and that i will get sick.. What do you say to someone who bombards you like this in front of a ton of people.
