What if your couple does NOT want to try vegan? Hi, everyone.
I've been having this problem since I tried to begin with veganism, just to "give it a try".
In my household, my fiancé and I divided household chores evenly: I cook, he cleans. Problem is, I always work sitting down, in front of a computer, and not making any physical effort except sporting at home. As a result, I don't need much energy and tried to do the 30 days vegan trial. My fiancé has a physical work, and after reading many articles about veganism, has willfully chosen NOT to be a vegan. We have a problem here.
I have to respect his choices: though I've made him a few vegan dishes he has enjoyed even more than me, he wants meat and eggs. As he says, "after eight hours of carrying loads, I don't want to eat a piece of tofu". So I cook omnivorous for him. I've tried the 30 days trial, but it's difficult to do so: if I cook omni, I end up eating meat. Far less than he does, but still. And it's difficult to try new vegan recipes when that means you have to spend double time cooking. So I don't know how could I manage the two ways of eating when I'm the cook at home.
What do you think? Are there any recipes that could help me? Am I the one with the same problem? |
