Some more veg issues


Having been a long time vegetarian (made the decision as a child, made it real at age 12) and an an almost 1-year old vegan, I'm so used to my way that I sometimes forget people actually eats meat.
This may sound a little familiar to my fellow vegs out there in the world.
It's crazy, isn't it? I mean, I would never eat my dogs. How could I eat a cow, or a pig or a chicken? Just the thought of it sounds so gross and unhealthy...

Or milk. Gosh, milk and eggs are an issue for me. I certainly don't miss them, but sometimes trying to find out the ingredients everywhere I go just makes me crazy.
Since I don't want to seem too extremist and I don't want the people to get the idea that veganism issome sort of sick obsession, I confess I son't always ask for the ingredients when my family or friends invite me out to dinner, even if I suspect the bread may contain eggs.
Not quite the same with lactose, because it gives me heartburn, cramps, bloating and nausea. Even if I wasn't morally convinced on how wrong it is to exploit an animal, I wouldn't ingest it.
