I went out to a restaurant with a few work colleagues. I spoke with one of them prior and had a long conversation of how I no longer eat meat and why I am #VeganForTheAnimals. And so a few days after the convo, he came up to me and said that we should catch up, and I should choose the restaurant to make sure it has #vegan options for me! It was really kind of him to suggest this. So I suggested Mexican. It had the usual things you can imagine and also a little vegan section too!

I ended up ordering two dishes, one burrito 🌯 and one taco 🌮 (I was hungry!). I posted a review of the burrito in the #abillion app:

We went as a group and there were no other #vegans so the others chose foods filled with animals.

The topic of #veganism didn't get brought up. Because of course:

-I had to be polite and let the conversation strike naturally.
-I couldn't be preachy.
-I couldn't offend anyone.
-I couldn't bring up how my burrito and taco are indistinguishable from the animal versions I had years ago.
-I couldn't make anyone uncomfortable while eating their meal.

No confrontation. No resistance. No change. That's the problem with 'you do you and I do me'. It won't save the animals. It won't change a thing.

I lack the courage to tell people to #GoVegan in real life. Thankfully most vegans you know are annoying. Unlike me. 😞
