  • I would just add that eating out with a vegan and non-vegan together doesn't inherently have to be any more difficult than 2 vegans or 2 non-vegans. From my experience anyway, and where I live. :)

  • Yes, I can accept it :)

  • I think it's an ethical, environmentally beneficial and healthy choice. But that doesn't mean I think someone who doesn't make that choice is automatically a bad person. That's where I feel like nonvegans might be projecting that idea a little bit, to be honest.

  • Hi, I just wanted to ask something (not specifically related to this thread actually). It seems like most people in this community are non-vegans rather than vegans. Would that be accurate?

  • To answer your last concern, I can eat at pretty much every restaurant :) There's always something there for vegans. Well I guess the extent or quality of those options might depend on where you live, lol. But eating out with nonvegans has always been fine for me in that regard.

  • I understand... but just in case it made any difference, there are usually alternatives I can eat in most situations, even so we're eating the "same" foods but I just get the plant-based version. Like for example, a non-vegan can eat meat while I eat a plant-based meat. Or they can have cow's milk latte while I have oat milk latte. I've done this a lot already and it usually works well...

  • It's not like I would actually try to change them in any way, though. What if I never mentioned it?

  • But I don't see how veganism being a philosophy rather than just a diet means that I would have a problem with the fact they aren't vegan. I think it wouldn't be a problem for me, unless it was a problem for them... that's what I'm wondering.

  • Apologies for not being clear, I meant that I would hope just being vegan might subconsciously influence people to think about it, but I wouldn't hold any expectation or pressure them. It would be more of a hope that I have but I guess it wouldn't affect how I act or behave in any way. Is that still a deal-breaker?

  • I would respect my partner's wishes and not do any of those things, but veganism is a philosophy and not limited to diet... I would be lying if I said it wasn't... Is that in itself a problem? 🙂

    Do non-vegans really refuse to date vegans?
