It's not in my place to make a club for us, but I just thought it would be cool to see how many Vegs are out here.
I've been vegetarian since I was 10 but I've only recently converted to Veganism when I realized that eating eggs and drinking milk pretty much did the same damage as abstaining from meat.
I'm also gluten and wheat free.
Going Vegan was so hard because the first statement I'd get is "you'll die without calcium/protein/iron."
I'd always reply cheerfully, "I know!" Because some people are so silly they really think the only way to get those nutrients are from milk and eggs. If that was true then every lactose intolerant person would be dead. So that's reasoning I use against super anti-Vegans.
Are you Vegan or Vegetarian? How did you make the decision? Do you have any good recipes? How do you deal with some people who think you're just a creepy treehugger?
