There were plenty of vegetarian kids in my school with me (vegans were a rarity then), and they didn't get any particular stick for it. Besides, even if they aren't vegan they'll still get short/tall/pimply/ginger/nerd/.* of the same intensity, so I think this is a pretty weak argument.
- thrower123 7y agoBeing ginger isn't such a pain in the neck for other people to make accomodations for if they want to include you. All of these competing quasi-religious food restrictions introduce unnecessary overhead. And people are often not reasonable about bowing to the demands of politeness or necessity, and insist on absolutism in their diets. Frig trying to plan a birthday party when little Timmy's parents think he should be vegan, and little Billy's parents think he is gluten-intolerant, while Frankie's parents are enforcing paleo raw foods, and your kid just wants a regular Funfetti cake and real ice cream.
