Hey guys sometimes I feel so lonely in the fight to save our beautiful earth. I am the only person who recycles in my entire neighborhood, my husband continues to eat meat and my friends keep asking me why I am vegan. I am so tired of explaining myself to others. I used to be so proud to announce that i am vegan but now I feel like just keeping it a secret to avoid the crazy looks and questions. Also I feel really terrible still cooking meat for my husband although I don't eat any it still bothers me to purchase and cook it what should I do?

I understand where you are coming from as I recycle as well, buy eco-friendly products, and my boyfriend and the rest of my family are meat-eaters.  My boyfriend is eating less meat now, which makes me happy.  He gives me a hard time about going vegan and teases me about eating "grass" but he has been very supportive and knows how much better I feel.  I, too, still have to cook meat for him against my will to do so as I definitely view buying meat, cooking meat, and eating meat very differently these days. I think as long as you feel good about doing what you are doing and feel better inside, what others think is really insignificant.  Just keep on keepin' on.... don't worry about the looks and questions, if you are happy and you know you are doing the "kind" thing then that's all that matters.  Your friends may decide someday they may want to go vegan and you can sit back and smile. :)   

I would hope other swould respect your decision to be vegan...Only my immediate family knows that I've changed my entire view on meat  and dairy . I work for a catering co. So saying anything at work is totally out too.
  Have you tried having your husband join you for some of your vegan meals? Maybe he could buy his own food and cook it.
Since this new shift for me I think I've only cooked twice for my family in three mo. I've had them try some of the new recipies  I've been making.Most of the time they are on their own now and they haven't minded. Good luck with whichever way you go.
