i dunno if some people are stupid, slow, or they really just don't get it but sometimes it sad.. so i'm on facebook talking to someone & she ask me we should go out to dinner & hang out. i told her i don't eat out as much any more & than she says i'm a very cheap date we could just go to mcdonalds & order off the dollar menu..i said sorry dear i'm vegan & she had the nerve to say well they have salads at mcdonalds what's the problem???? man! do people think that being a vegetarian or vegan or raw vegan all we do is just eat salads all day long??? i just don't get the mind set of some people! educate yourself! learn what we eat & why we eat it before you say something so dumb like well they have a salad! i mean really i can cook so much vegan gourmet meals it will make your head spin!   so anyway if you have any thoughts on why some people say this or if anyone has said this to you please let me know. thank you all. p.s. even if i did eat out it wouldn't be at mcpinkslime!  last time i ate at mcds a candy bar cost a nickle.

I would never eat anything at a fast food place. but my bf's mom used to be like that.."like oh you cant enjoy food and you have to eat salad" they seriously think we  just live off of salad.

i agree i mean i know being & eating vegan foods are different but why say stuff like they have or you can eat a salad??? i swear everytime someone says that i brush them off..that's like if i'm dating a asian girl & i tell her lets go out to eat & she tells me she don't like fast food & i tell her oh come on they have some healthy rice at a new place I know! i dunno what can you do.

btw latia love your background on your page.

Comment by latia ravenstar on February 10, 2013 at 7:23am

thank you :) and I agree. I have been a vegan for almost 2 months now and I hear it all the time. I cook food so now I know that it is not as hard as it seems. i just brush them off mostly but it's hard sometimes

i always say lifes not hard unless you make it hard! i just turned vegan myself but it was kinda easy since i started on a part time juice fast. mostly drinking protein drinks/shakes

Comment by latia ravenstar on February 10, 2013 at 9:09am

what kind of saying is that? unless you make it hard? i have a special needs child and a 7 month old daughter and we are not in the best place in life..i do what i can. hard or not.

in other words no matter how hard it is it can be worst. besides that my saying..it dosen't fit every one somethings in life is hard for people in my mind nothing is hard in my life & if it comes close i find a way out. always do always have. anyway thank you for your reply ravenstar.

Not being nasty. Some people just don't know or understand our reasons and you should take up her offer of hanging out. Sounds to me like she just wants to hang out and thought you meant you didnt go out much because you are hard up, had you informed her that you were veggie before she mentioned Mcdonalds? Because if not then thats your own ignorance, not hers. You could offer to have her over, cook her a vegan meal and educate her.

i doubt it! first we chat on facebook so she lives in another city & state 2nd she's to busy with her wrestling career to hang out & 3rd since i wrote this she told me she was just joking..but i have come across alot of people who say being vegan is hiding from the truth. like this one person i talked to who told me vegans are people are scared to eat meat. lets just say his name is steve. steve told me that in the long run being vegan will cause more harm than good after he did more research & talked to doctors of all kinds,,never said i agreed with him but i always listin..he also told me that the world has changed & they put hormones in everything including veggies & fruits. as for people making the salad comment it's not just her guys say it also.  but i don't let it bother me. 

Comment by latia ravenstar on February 13, 2013 at 3:15pm

lol that steve guy is a joke..no offence?  the first few months in life ,we are all vegans..have you ever heard a doctor say "make sure you eat more meat than fruits or veggies?" nope , never. I had people do that too. before we were vegans, most of us was raised as meat eaters so for him to day "vegans are afraid of meat" is quite stupid lol. sadly he is making excuses for what he thinks is right. whoever heard of hormones in veggies and fruits?
