Where to find other vegans

Especially since I live in a town that has a restaurant that has a sign that says: "Vegetarians served here. Medium Rare. With a side of mashed potatoes. I've also seen the shirts that say "Vegetarian is Indian word meaning Bad Hunter". Needless to say, I've had a hard time meeting other vegans. I met my first vegetarian this weekend because I wore a shirt that said "vegan".

It was very exciting! Thanks for posting it. Sorry to right a novel. Is there really a restaurant with that sign in its window?! That's just obnoxious!! I don't think they would get away with that here in Britain, because there would be too many protests: they would probably be told by the authorities to take it down, as it was offensive to minorities, and causing civil unrest!

I hope that would be the case anyway. It sometimes gets me down, all the harassment and persecution we have to deal with, for trying to do the right thing, lead a compassionate life. Then I remember how much worse it is for the animals, and that helps to keep me on track! The joke about serving vegetarians with a side of mashed potatoes would be funny if it wasn't for all the discrimination we go through in several locations.

GeorgiaBelle, I hope this will help you. A shirt is good, or if you can buy a pin somewhere, use that too. Pins are great conversation starters, especially on the bus. I had one that said 'vegans taste better', but not to mean that we would be good with a side of mashed potatoes but meaning that vegans are better lovers I bought the pin during a vegetarian conference weekend. Oh, and I love novels. They're fun to read! Please keep writing! That's what I mean Anita - that sign is not just meant as a joke, if it were, it would be amusing.

It is actually saying "Vegetarians are not welcome in here", which is discrimination, which is completely wrong. You can just imagine the reaction you would get if you go in there and ask for a vegetarian meal, can' t you? They would probably be rude to you and chuck you out! Actually I would like to go in there, and ask for the vegetarian with mashed potatoes, just to take them at their word! And when they say that they don't actually serve that dish, I would ask why not, since humans are made of meat, like animals??!

I can just imagine the furore I would cause! I don't think I am brave enough to do that really, but I just don't see why we have to put up with all this discrimination because of our dietary and lifestyle choices. The owner would surely just tell you to go to a vegetarian restaurant. Imagine that I had a talk with an owner once I had a craving for Mexican food and I have yet to find a fully vegetarian mexican restaurant and he agreed to make me a plate for a good price, just for me.

He then had to step out for a couple of minutes, but I saw that had his cell phone with him since he received a call exactly while walking out the door. How do I Meet Vegan Singles? Is There a Dating App for Vegans?
