I'm really not sure what to do, I've read up on it so much and all of it seems like it's going to be a very meat-centered meal! I want to support my partner, but I'm also almost not even wanting anything to do with it!

I couldn't agree more with you though with respect to your comment about how you wonder who "the ideals-forcers" are trying to convince - themselves or others. People definitely have no right sticking their nose in where it's not wanted.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128715948914256094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-59891997109991227702011-02-12T20:04:32.354-06:002011-02-12T20:04:32.354-06:00I'm not a veggie, but I know several Army wive...I'm not a veggie, but I know several Army wives who are (and I've considered it myself). I always make a strong attempt at providing something meatless (that is still filling) when we have cookouts so that our guests will feel welcome. I typically do this even when I don't know what the eating habits of all our guests are, just to be polite. I can't believe that people would beThis American Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484850726127294793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-61310433742474001202011-02-12T10:49:12.653-06:002011-02-12T10:49:12.653-06:00Thrilled to be meeting more and more of "us&q...Thrilled to be meeting more and more of "us" in the army world. I have been an on and off Vegetarian for years and for the past two yrs dip my toes in Raw food eating. I struggle at every army function and after the first few & having nothing to eat, I finally committed to being the "freak" that brings her own food to everything. I love it but I hate having to explain it. tehliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453479579310283741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-61883960884278941962011-02-11T22:44:56.934-06:002011-02-11T22:44:56.934-06:00Mrs. Mootz- yes people do that to diabetics, too! ...Mrs. Mootz- yes people do that to diabetics, too! I have been type 1 diabetic for 15 years. Fortunately, I am on the insulin pump now, so I can eat what I want, when I want, within reason, but my brothers and some others used to tease me with all kinds of candy, Pop-Tarts, and all that. The difference was- I wanted it and couldn't have it!!!<br /><br />Annoyed Army Wife- good for you for Jenn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039144473417654299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-32646312116700325982011-02-11T16:09:32.724-06:002011-02-11T16:09:32.724-06:00I can't tell you how many people have done tha...I can't tell you how many people have done that to me. I'm a vegetarian and have been for almost 9 years. The worst was in high school when everyone just thought I was going through a "phase". Luckily for me, I have amazing parents who let me make my own choices. My brother actually became a vegetarian at the tender young age of 2. My parents didn't push him and he's Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703630449276209732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-80890273804148608712011-02-11T11:00:48.167-06:002011-02-11T11:00:48.167-06:00What is wrong with people??

I am a firm believer that bacon makes everything better, I would never wave it in a vegetarian's face for fear of being vomited on). People are so rude. :( I enjoyed your story, though!

Do they stand in front of a diabetic with a sugary lollipop and tease them or wave caffine-laden soda in the face of a person with high blood pressure and heart problems?<br /><br />People can be so mean. <br /><br />I think it's great that you're doing what you need to do to be healthy!Mrs. Mootzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352089014962521820noreply@blogger.com
