Many people don't understand vegan or vegetarianism; and quite frankly, not many put forth effort to learn about it. Everyone is so concerned that vegans don't get enough protein; however, protein, yet important, isn't extremely as important as everyone makes it out to be. Keeping a healthy lifestyle, either eating meat or living meat-free, is importantn

I LOVE FOOD!!!!!!!!

After a long track meet, my team and I were in need of some food. We traveled all over town, but each time we pulled up to the restaurant, the lights went out because they were closed.  At ten o'clock at night, I would expect nothing less, but one restaurant was open: Whataburger. While in the parking lot, we noticed several of the other teams from the meet inside. When we went inside, we noticed that the group of workers on duty were rather irritated. That was when it hit me that this wasn't a 24 hour restaurant, and we were keeping the workers from going home. I was afraid that my food was spat upon when I received it, instead it was only the wrong order. I didn't complain to the workers because I knew that they were having a rough night with having a surprise 200+ guests showing up at closing time. I did not enjoy my substitute burger, but 

 
The best meal I've ever eaten was at this little restaurant in Savannah, Georgia. It was right on the water, and they had the greatest seafood I'd ever had.
 
When I was about 7 years old my Grandpa and my Aunt came to visit me. To celebrate we went  to this family owned BBQ restaurant. when everyone received their food everybody had normal plates ... except my Grandpa (who ordered ribs) got a paper plate. He wasn't very happy because of it and we left the restaurant because he made a huuuuuuge fuss over it.

 
"Oh i can't be vegan, i mean i live with my parents and they won't buy me vegan food; and yea it's not like food grows on trees!"

Last year when my family and I went to Boston's I had ordered their broccoli and stuffed pasta with a certain sauce. We waited about 40 minutes for our food to come and everyone enjoyed their food, except me. As I was eating my pasta I was noticing that a weird smell was coming from the sauce. I just thought it was the way the pasta sauce was made for it to smell that way, but when I told my mom and she smelled it she said that it smelled old and disgusting. We pulled over our waiter and my mom told them to take it back. Soon after, we heard yelling in the kitchen and the manager came over to our table with a jar in his hand. He showed us the bottle that the the sauce, on my pasta, came from and it was a year old. He apologized and gave me a free meal and dessert, but as soon as I got home I got a huge stomach ache and was sick with food poisoning for three days. Never doubt your sense of smell! Especially if you get a whiff of something bad.
