Veg Turbo
Raw Newbie
This morning i had an infrustructure person come by my office and work on my network port.
well this person brought a chocolate milk with him and downed it and carelessly threw it away in my trash.
well it missed the center of the trashbag and ended up pulling the entire bag into the trashcan.
I didnt notice this till it was too late. The cleaning crew came by after he left. One of the ladies pulled my bag out and chocolate milk goes flying all over her and her face!
They all think its me and im a VEGAN!!!!
the person that did throw it away is nowhere to be found..

hahaha that's horrible
Does anyone struggle with co-workers who are continually obsessed with what you eat, and who feel free to express an opinion on it? I try not to talk too much about my food choices, because to be honest, I hate the attention. I'm just fed up of people commenting on my lunch in the fridge as 'weird'!
Daniefon, very funny! I'll use that line next time. Brilliant.
I get coworkers/friends/family/random people make comments all the time about being a vegetarian for 9 years (and vegan/raw for the past year or so). Whenever they make comments about how I eat I just shrug my shoulders and say, "well I haven't died yet from this diet so I guess I am good for now." They usually make a face and stop talking :)
LOL, this is hilarious. I'm Bangladeshi and grew up with lots of smelly Indian food. Indians may eat vegetarian food but they sure love frying cheese and eating desserts laden with cheese and syrup. And flatulenty smelling dishes ;-)
i am totally in the same boat as some of you guys!! i recently started a new job in CT and there are only 15 people in my group. (Used to work in Manhattan at a huge firm). There are soooo close minded. Its crazy!! Its not like i went around saying "Hi, I'm new and a raw vegan". My food habits actually came out when they went to buy lunch for the group during my first week to celebrate me joining the group. Of course, they wanted to order pizza and asked me what toppings I would like. First week or not, I was NOT going to eat pizza!! So i nicely said, that i was actually a raw vegan and had brought my own lunch but would love to join everyone for lunch. That day went fine (i think it was only because i was new). After that, people have been making little comments here and there. One of my coworkers actually had the audicity to tell my manager (my manager likes to talk, which is how i found out) that I am too young (im 25) to realize how im eating is going to harm my body!!! Of course, this person is overweight and has all sorts of issues, while I go to the gym every morning, never get tired, at my perfect weight, am fit and cant remember the last time i was sick.
But if i was doing the weight watchers diet or any other of these silly diets, it wouldnt be a problem at all. People would probably be all excited for me!!!
I'm a chef and I've been woth my current resturant about a year. Took my head chef till last week to eat a steak I cooked. He said he hated to but gave me props. Sometimes you just gotta keep your resolve up till people respect your choices.
