The first single word that I think of is: complicated.
My first full thought is somewhat one of resentment. All of the vegans that I have known are like former smokers. It is very difficult to remain friends with someone that attacks everything I put in my mouth. I confess I only maintain relationships with two vegans. I know my other friends had the best intentions, but the conversion attempts got tiring.
My SIL is vegan, as is my daughter’s college roommate. When either of them comes for dinner I go out of my way to make sure they have several vegan dishes to choose from. Granted they are the same three dishes every time they eat here, but I digress. I’m perfectly content to eat a salad and veggies when I eat at SIL’s home.
I could be a vegetarian, not vegan though.
I guess my point is that I have no opinion on what is on your plate, so keep your opinion of what is on mine to yourself.
