It's definitely good. I remember when I was young feeling almost apologetic to others for the fact that I was vegetarian - like it was my fault for being weird and different.

Your son seems to have really enjoyed himself in spite of his occasional need to be cool. I took my son to an animal rights march and I thought he might just die of embarrassment. All the marchers were kind of extreme (in his eyes) and chanting slogans. He survived but I never could get him to another vegan event.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341590768573601889.post-45529413129524281042012-08-29T06:16:17.649-07:002012-08-29T06:16:17.649-07:00I had no idea there was such a thing as Veggie Pri...I had no idea there was such a thing as Veggie Pride Day, but it's definitely an idea whose time has come.
