Quote: Um, yuck?! Did you know that McDonalds basically puts the chicken in a blender feathers and all! (In the nuggets) My dad read that on snopes.
LOL!!!!So a few years back, I had over a vegan boyfriend to meet my parents. My mom was really proud that she had made an all organic, vegan meal for him.
Mom: Yes we grew all the ingredients here. It has tomatoes, onions, eggplants....
BoyFriend: It has eggplant in it?
Mom: Yes.
BF: I can't eat it.
Mom: Why?
BF: (rolling his eyes) I'm VEGAN, I don't eat eggs.
Mom: So you can't eat eggplant?
BF: No, EGGplant has EGGS in it.

She had to show him an eggplant, and I don't think he believed her.
LolI got another one... My dad was telling a coworker about our meat chickens, and she replied with "That's mean! You should just go to the store and buy a frozen chicken like everyone else!" lol, "Where do you think they come from at the store???" "Idk, but that's mean!"

He didn't make it through dinner!Now I know why my son used to say some people were too stupid to live. The problem should resolve itself, however, with time.
I hope you didn't hang on to this boyfriend for long; I mean, what could you talk about at breakfast?

In essence you have 2 options either accept that everything you know has been wrong, or else live the comfortable lie you've always known. like meat eggs and milk is made at stores, vegitables are from boxes not grown in soil. Or you can learn where they come from. It's like a post on another thread here someone asked about the conditions of the birds used for breeding how they are treated, compared to the slaughter house or egg laying birds. I told him I never looked into it or thought of it much but I figured they live a life about as bad as the meat/egg suppliers for the stores do, but it many here choose what many here I'm sure considers the lesser of the 2 evils, you buy egg layers from the hatcheries you imprison x many hens/roosters, but you free up how many more hens from that life by not buying those eggs from the store? He said he was going to look into local breeders. If you have the money to buy them and can find a "real" local breeder (not Sally or George whom buy oodles and gobs of chicks from the hatchery to re-sell or sell in essence chicks 1-3 generations out from the hatchery) you may be buying a true hatchery free stock.
