Hey there, veg-head. Whether you eat vegan, vegetarian, plant-based… whatever the hell you label it, I can assure you that we’ve shared a number of #awkwardturtles. It’s just inevitable. So this week, I’d like to point out a few of my favorites. You really can’t help but just laugh!
#1: “I’m vegan.”
Because, let’s just get the obvious one out of the way.
#2: You overhear a family member at a party respond “No, I don’t eat vegan,” after someone mentions that you made a vegan dessert.
Gee, thanks. Just cause it’s vegan? But… but… it’s cake.
#3: When you tell the barista soy milk but watch as she froths your whole milk latte.
Seriously? Just write it on the cup for all I care – JUST DON’T MAKE ME SICK.
#4: “So you really only get your protein from beans then,” says Grandpa.
No.
#5: “The Bible tells us to eat meat, though.”
Oh, yikes. I’m exiting this conversation.
#6: When someone tells a vegan joke that has been told a million times before.
… and FYI, it’s not really funny.
#7: When a restaurant tells you that they will “make something special” and it’s just a pile of sautéed veggies.
I mean, it’s fine. Could I at least get some rice with this?
#8: When another vegan criticizes you for something crazy, like the fact that you watch The Walking Dead.
Uh, what? Last I checked, the Walking Dead was a fictional television series. Also, if we’re being nit-picky, aren’t vegans supposed to be kind, or something?
#9: “I could never go vegan.”
….k.
#10: “Sorry! Oh sorry, you can’t have this. Do you mind if I eat it in front of you?”
Oh my gosh, yes, go ahead. Please eat something. YOU’RE MAKING THIS WEIRD.
Okay, show me whatchu got to add. xx bianca
