I got into Veganism about 8 months ago now, and it was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Where it got difficult for me was when food was getting wasted. I have always been really good about not wasting things, and even eating other people's food if it was going to waste. Problem is nobody else around me eats vegan. At first I would eat the food anyway, and just continue eating plant-based as I normally would, but I've reached a point where I don't even want to eat animal product at all, so it goes to waste. Has anybody else had, or have, this problem, or is it just some autistic "quirk" I have involving inefficiency and waste.

(also happens at restaurants on the rare chance that I actually go, get something, and they get the order wrong)

Eh, I don't care much about ideological purity. I generally find animal products aversive, in a similar manner to that which I would find human bodies presented as food or tools aversive.

If you want to eat somebodies table scraps I don't think it counts much one way or the other, but I would be cautious about the message it sends to carnists who may interpret it as a secret desire.

Oh also eventually you'll start getting mad sick when you eat animal products so the problem takes care of itself haha.

That much is true, I can't stand smell of most cheeses and eggs anymore.

I know right, they smell so weirdly thick.

It's strange how the body and mind adapt to whatever is presented as normal.
