While I appreciate you defending my comment , don ' t automatically assume someone is a child or put them down for it . It ' s never to late or early to learn anything , my friend . Have a great evening everyone . <| sep |> Even though it may not work , I ' ll page uvJill <| sep |> You were absolutely not being rude . They were being at best terrible , ignorant hosts and at worst spiteful , malicious people . I ' ve been a vegetarian for several years and some people will take personal offense to it . I don ' t know why but maybe it ' s because it forces them to acknowledge their own double think ? It ' s always really bothered me that people will be supportive when they hear about any other dietary choices oh no roll because you ' re gluten free good for you ! but then act offended or suspicious upon learning you ' re meat free . Ugh I ' m sorry you had to go through that and I hope you got to eat something good when you got home ! !!
