I feel disconnected with some friends since becoming vegan

I am figuring this out for myself, because those friends (non vegan) respect my lifestyle so it's not because of arguments we have.

I think it's because they know about most horrors, and say things like "I know baby cows get seperated from their moms but cheese is just SO good" or "I stopped eating meat because of your story but my body just needs it" for example. They make me feel uncomfortable.

How did you becoming vegan influenced your friendships? Did you lose friends or cut people off?
