The living with a Vegan Code - 5 basic points from a survivor !

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemy People !

I've been living for 3 years with my vegan girlfriend and spoiler alert ... yep... even sushi isn't part of the diet.

Today ,no post about Bitcoin or finance, let's talk about Veganism and how to deal with it when your GF / BF is one of them.

  1. Don't tell her that an animal is worth less than a human :
    She'll do some weird analogy with your cat and a cheeseburger arguing that if you think your cat is special , so is the cow in your burger.. My cat isn't special, he is my mentor in life ... how dare she speak of him like that..

  1. Don't tell her that Humans are omnivores and like the lion, they need meat :
    She will give some crazy scientific explanation about evolution and tell you that human can adapt to anything. Even more serious she will tell you you do not look like a Lion ( after 1 year at the gym .. ) but more like a Hippo... how dare she.

  1. Don't ever, EVER speak about protein in the vegan diet :
    Her : "There is more protein in Soy than in meat and as much protein in quinoa as in cheese"
    Me : "Yeah like if in this food for hamster I'll find enough protein to build muscle. Moreover proteins are incomplete in vegetables"
    Her : " what muscles ? you just need a regular intake in protein and yes vegetables proteins can be complete, in quinoa for example"

  1. Don't tell her that a shrimp doesn't feel the pain :
    She will start a debate on what is pain and how do we measure it ? Again, she will show you uninteresting studies proving you you're wrong... She'll probably pinch you, as well, be careful.

  1. Last point...
    For God's sakes whatever you do, don't under any circumstances eat a Sushi or any type of japanese food in front of her. She is Vegan yes but she is human too. She will not hesitated to tell you that you're the devil trying to tempt her ... no you're just a regular guy trying to catch this sushi with those small useless sticks..

Those are the most important points, if you have any more tips / advises to survive in this hostile environment please feel free to give me a comment, share this post, follow me here and you me to buy more sushis, please Upvote this post !

Hahahahah this is really funny, being a vegan (not as exteme) i can relate hehe !

I am working with the #promo-uk team and @stephenkendal to promote steemit on a UK tour around 22 universities during freshers week! As a promonent UK steemian, we would like to ask for your support and if you have time, even to come and join us for whatever time you can spare at your nearest university!

The tour started in Manchester today, does a trip around the country and ends up in Lancaster on 07th Oct.

THIS link will show you the tour route, meeting times and meet up locations.

THIS link shows you our success around Sheffield today!

It would be really great if you could make it to one of these promotional events to have some fun talking Steemit and letting people know how great it is!!

We are also presenting at the London investors fair on 20th October. We plan to get together with some steemians in a London bar after the event for some drinks (which we will put 150 GBP behind the bar for)
HERE is a summary of our last meetup

Please reply to this or contact me in steemit.chat if you are interested to take part or support our work!
