yeah my boyfriend and i are pretty long-term, but he's so set in his ways that he'd never try giving up meat, so raising kids to be meat and dairy free would be tough and he probably wouldn't be willing to do that :/ i certainly wouldn't give up my veganism and i would just try to teach my kids about the injustice but ultimately let them make their own decisions. i think that veganism/vegetarianism is more meaningful when the person chooses it for themselves, anyway. (i really don't want kids but thats a whole different can of worms lol.) but yeah i think that raising a family with one meat-eater parent and one non-meat eater would be a little bit difficult, but i think that it could work. if anything, even if the kids didn't choose to go vegan, maybe at least they'd be more open minded about it?

oh gosh i totally know what you mean. he acts like meat is the holy grail or something and it does make me sad, like i wish he could understand how awful the meat and dairy industries are. the world would be so much better if we could just tell everyone how good being meat-free is, ya know?

i really deal with it by not... dealing with it... which sucks. but i've found that the only people who are really going to listen to you are those who approach you about veganism, not the other way around. i could try to pound facts into his brain but it wouldn't do any good since he loves meat so much. so i just try to stick to my principles and not judge him based on his choices. i've asked that he respects my veganism, and thats about all we can do.
