(2,273 posts)I can say all the vegans I work with are not the proselytizing kind and are very accepting to the diets of other people. I completely understand their reasoning on why they choose their diets and I respect it. When I throw a monthly dinner at my home for my coworkers I always take into consideration everyone's dietary needs. When I have vegans or vegetarians in attendance I try to make sure all the side dishes are vegan or at least have a vegan and non vegan version of a side dish. For the main dish I usually make pulled pork and some kind of grilled or smoked tempeh.
I have kind of a funky diet as well, I eat a lot of organ meat along with cuts that are not the choicest. This is because I respect the animal and hate to think that it died simply so I could enjoy the best parts while the rest of it was left to rot. I never try to convert anyone to this diet but my vegan friends respect it because they see the logic.
