"If you wanna sit down and eat with me, you eat vegan, or else we dont eat together, ill see you later." -Gary Yourofsky

Do you think its worth it to specifically avoid personal food outings with people whom you want respect from if they are technically going to be disrespecting everything you are fighting for right in front of your face? Ive got mixed feelings about it. Like dont be mean to them, but i feel like its a good way to let people know you're serious. Not that meat grosses me out,(I ate it for years lol..) but I just see it as disrespectful to me as a vegan to have "friends" and family shitting on the justice you're fighting for with an oblivious smile on their face with a mouth full of unnecessary cruelty. Like ill hang out with them, but when it comes to food, im considering turning them down.. Havent done it yet.. But im thinking about it. How bout you guys?
