yeah most of them they cause a lot of (unintentional) offence but today something nice happened. I was in the supermarket and emptied the contents of my basket onto the conveyor belt... usual stuff, veggies, fruit, rice, fairtrade tea and biscuits, a couple of plants, ecological cleaning products... and an older lady behind me said "oh you have a very healthy diet."
me: "oh thank you"
her "are you vegetarian?"
me: "i'm vegan"
her: "well you look very healthy"
me: "i've been vegan for years, i'm healthier than ever"
ok its not the most interesting conversation ever, but i went home feeling good and hoping to have made someone think a bit more about what they're eating.
