I'm not vegan but I'm vegetarian and my family was kinda like "what why? bacon is so good" lol I grew up on a farm, my entire family hunts, so this was a very foreign thing to them. I just don't care for meat. I am a bad vegetarian sometimes. I have had meat a few times..or picked it out of things like you did. But overall I just don't really ever desire meat :/ I have always been this way, but as a kid I had to eat what my family cooked, so now I can finally eat what I want lol

My mom's side of the family are all skinny naturally, so nobody says anything about my size. Only when I REALLY dropped weight did they notice anything and I was too thin, so they were right to be concerned. I eat kinda normally now though and while i am small , I'm at a perfectly healthy weight. My dad's side of the family is also mostly on the slender side, so I just blend in with everybody else lol
