Just as a follow up to my previous post on vegan relationships, I thought it would be worth noting that I am once again dating someone, but this time a non-vegan. She is definitely health conscious (probably more so than me), and very aware of where her food comes from. She believes in organics and all that, and even has her own chickens and such up at her home (not at college though).
I totally respect that idea of being conscious of what we eat, and I think the fact that she’s already that way, but never was a vegetarian might make her susceptible to converting to the dark side, but I don’t plan to push it very hard, to be honest,
.
Perhaps I sounded too cynical in my last post, but I definitely think finding love in non-veg*ns is possible…as long as the partner enjoys your cooking!

It is totally possible! My husband and I have been married for about 5 years now and together for about 10. I am vegan and he is an omni-vore but he loves my cooking and generally avoids meat. I do not pressure him and that is the key. My convictions do not have to apply to everyone, not even my other half. I think the best way is to lead by example and let people make up their own minds. Good luck with her, she sounds mindful and that is important. :c)
I guess it all depends on whether you are vegan for the health or for the ethics.
I have some pretty concrete views, but if I found the right girl … who knows how my life could change.
At this point in my life, having a girl convince me that eating meat was actually a good thing would be as likely as her convincing me that 1+1 = 4.
But that is just me.
