Vegans are often misunderstood

It's funny to hear the things people say about being vegan. 

One of my friends was very persistent one day.  She said, "Would you rather be vegan or dead?"  (I AM VEGAN, so I guess vegan!)  Then she said, "Would you rather be vegan or blind?"  (I AM VEGAN, so I guess vegan!)  Then, she topped it off with "Would you rather be vegan or red-head?  (I AM BOTH!! How do you answer that one!)

When I go to dance camps or vocal camps, I am soon labeled "THE VEGAN".  People say, "Oh, you're THE VEGAN" like it's some really weird or strange thing.  Sometimes they say it in a tone of awe--wow, you really eat that way!  One guy told me his girl friend tells everyone she's vegan but he knows that she has ice cream or a burger every month or so. He told me he doesn't believe it when anyone says they are vegan.  They must "cheat" like his girl friend!  Well, some people REALLY are just vegan--like me!
