Thanks for putting a link to “can vegans and vegetarians get along”. I can understand why there may be tensions between the 2, in the same way there would be between a vegetarian and a meat-eater. I am not sure I would date a meat-eater anymore. At the end of the day what it comes down to is tolerance. Of course it is almost impossible to accept animal killing and suffering for vegans and vegetarians, but accepting people’s choices and not trying to shove it down people’s throats will contribute to more harmonious relationships. Personally, I firmly believe in leading by example. Preaching and confrontation lead to the opposite results. When people realise the benefits of a vegan or vegetarian diet, then they will start to compare with their own health and situation and question the way they have been eating.

It is an interesting topic. I don’t think I’d enjoy living with someone who insisted on preparing and eating meat at home, but it doesn’t bother me that my husband eats meat when we go out sometimes. Plus I’m doing my share of “leading by example”… cooking delicious vegetarian food every day. :)
