When I met my husband he wasn't a vegetarian either. We were dating for seven months before he converted. I think he realized what kind of lifestyle I wanted to live and the impact of eating meat does on the world. We went vegan togehter two years ago. Although since this pregnancy, I admit I've cheated a couple of times....but my belly has made me pay for it. Which helps me curb my cravings for dairy. My family wasn't supportive when I became vegetarian but they accept it now. They're not too keen on the vegan diet though. And I know that they will give me trouble for raising our child vegan. My husband's family is very accepting and respectful, although I don't think they fully understand what we can and cannot eat. "A little chicken won't hurt for flavoring. You can't see it." That can be flustering because his mother has cooked for us before. She wouldn't put meat in our food to be mean, just that she thinks that it adds flavor. His family are avid meat eaters so it's hard for them to see a meal without meat.
