Different Eating Habits

[adreamerforme.livejournal.com]

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.

The only issues we have in relation to food have been if someone hasn't fronted for a long while and then does front and there isn't something in the pantry that is to their liking.

Is there a way to have extra fruits and vegetables in the house for the one who does like them? You could tell your parents that you are trying to eat healthier and would like to include more vegetables in your diet.
