Are you Vegetarian, Vegan or something else?

Vegan

About Me:

Hi! I am Patrice, 22 years old and I live in France. I study English and Japanese at university. Most people don't know the French word for vegan (végétalien), so it's obvious veganism is unfortunately not a big phenomenon where I live. I actually don't know any vegan or vegetarian in France.

I would like to have long and serious conversations since I still feel rather insecure about some things (such as the way we should educate people to veganism), maybe as a consequence of me living or having lived in countries (I also lived in Japan) which are not very vegan-friendly.
Don't hesitate to contact me, I'd be glad to have someone to discuss with!

I hope all is well :)

I had this blog posted somewhere else, and one of my friends, after reading the entire thing, responded "I can't help that I like cheese".
That reinforced, for me, how close minded people really are.

Why would you say it is more vegan-enemy than the U.S? I think people are pretty unfriendly and apathetic (at very least) towards veganism. So are you talking attitude wise, or just in terms of French vs American cuisine?

At 5:23pm on February 19, 2008, Amber Lynn said…: Hi! I will be living in Caen next year. I must admit it worries me a bit that France isn't vegan friendly. With a language barrier, it will be difficult to find foods that are vegan friendly. I actually am doing research on veganism in the U.S, and how opposed people are to it. I don't think many places are vegan friendly....The meat and dairy industries have considerable influence over people...worldwide, apparently.

Hey, I'd like to teach my kiddos a bit of French since it's in my family history. If you have any hints on how to start them off, please let me know.
Well I guess that's it. Take it easy. Peace

Welcome Flying, may this day bring you much joy!

At 5:01pm on January 14, 2008, Cari said…: Don't feel lost here!! Of all places, this is probably one of the few that you are welcome and appreciated :) It would be nice if all of us vegans could chip in and buy an island together and live in harmony! But then I guess it's best not to run away from the problems....I am trying to educate as many people as possible on the matter. I don't care if I'm an outcast because of it -- or if I sound like a preacher. The animals will love me, if no one else will! Have you ever been to the states?

At 6:37pm on January 12, 2008, Cari said…: Hello Patrice! I feel very alone on this matter as well! It wasn't until recently watching some videos and doing some research that I decided not to eat animals or anything that comes from them. So far, most people don't want to hear about where their meat comes from -- it's really sad and speaks a lot about how selfish people really are. :(

At 4:50pm on January 10, 2008, Elena said…: Hi, I´m from Argentina. I know what you mean. Most people love barbecue here. You can find some vegetarian meals in most restaurants nowadays, but if you´re vegan you can only eat salads and be careful ´cos many of them have ham, chicken, fish or eggs.
