"I'd like to see you walk out when someone else orders a steak burrito at Chipotle" my mom.
I made the choice not to be around others while they eat meat. Some people are ok with that, others not so much.
It does bother me more when people I know eat meat vs complete strangers. When it comes to complete strangers, I think they must not know any other way, maybe they never even heard the word vegan. When someone knows what the animals go through, that there are alternatives, and they choose to eat meat anyway, I look at them differently. I choose not to be around them while they make those choices. Maybe that gives me the appearance that I'm stuck up. I like to avoid discomfort when I can. Anyone who uses me as an example of how all vegans behave is ignorant. I am my own person.
