I am living in Australia now, but no one ask me those questions~.~.....





>【 在 Penny Pan 的大作中提到: 】

>Nope, the concern of animal right is indeed the reason why I convert to be a vegetarian. Normally I only say, "it's my personal choice!" then people usually shut their mouth off especially when I mention it's "personal..." ;-)

>If they start asking me all those weird questions, then I will say," well, give me two hours and I will answer all your questions..." Usually I will have the "Do not mess around with me" look on my face when they start to ask weird questions ~ Ha ha ha ha!

>About 90%, people usually respect me as a vegetarian. And there are many vegetarians around!

>So do not worry~

>>因為工作關係

>>有時候必須到國外參加會議

>>與會的外國朋友多是同門的學術界長輩、同學

>>每每用餐時就會發現選擇素食餐的並不只我一個

>>倒沒那分「孤獨」的感覺，哈

>>至於當有人問起素食的理由

>>一般來說吃飯的事屬於個人領域

>>外國人（我的例子發生在美、英、德、日）

>>幾乎不會像東方人一樣有那麼重的「窺奇」心理

>>我的經驗是沒有一個外國朋友問我為什麼選擇素食呢！

>>

>>這或許還跟民族性還有生活習慣有關係

>>對歐美等人文社會較開發的人來說

>>選擇素食甚至還象徵某種環境主義的堅持

>>如果會被注意，那大概是被投以某種裡想性格者的崇拜眼神

>>不像包括華人社會在內的東方

>>素食總是刻板印象為素食甚至是相對於多數葷食者的「不合群」

>>總之

>>就是少了那麼點眼界還有寬容囉

>>>這次行程會與諸多學生社團社交，原本想說用"為健康考量，

>>>在台灣吃素很方便"等說法，但覺得又有點不妥，畢竟隨行的伙伴

>>>只有我一個人是這樣的飲食習慣。若追問-"難道其他人就比較

>>>不重視健康嗎？"，那就尷尬了:P
