Different Eating Habits
I have a really serious question that deals with a issue my system is currently dealing with.
How do you deal with making everyone happy in their different eating habits?
I am personaly Vegetarian.... and one of the others in the system is Vegan. She spends a lot of time out, so it's slowly becoming an issue as she has some serious emotions behind eating/using animal products/biproducts (She said it's difiling our ancestors.... or something like that).
I don't want to infringe on her space, but it's very hard for me to eat Vegan, honestly. I <3 Milk chocolate, ice cream... and all those naughty, diary-containing items. (I don't much care about eggs, except french toast)
As well... our parents aren't even Vegetarian, and neither are many of our friends. I cannot really make that leap past vegetarian, as it's very hard to eat that way in this household - expecialy considering we're often low on fruit except apples... unless we press the subject.
How should I sort out this problem? Try to explain to her that we're going to eat our way, even though I'd be as equaly offended if say... one of us picked up a big fat stake and started chowing down on it (I actualy don't think that's an issue... though I don't know what Lala's preference on food is... honestly......). Do I try to just keep it on a 'who's out' basis?
I really, honestly don't know what to do. Any advise is helpful.
