Irony :D

Wow, that is a lot!! My family has five people, two are small, young, snacky children. We have spent $150 at the store, sometimes almost $200, but that's when we go at the beginning of the month to stock up for the whole month, and we don't just get food, we get everything we need for the whole entire month, all our supplies, so we don't have to go to the store later, and we buy everything in several bulk packages because my brothers and I can go through an industrial size costco package of snacks in a few days to a week most of the time, especially now that it's getting to summer and we're all home a lot and snacking. My parents get mad just buying me basic food necessities if it's something they won't eat, like legumes, vegetables, or fruits, so your dad is probably just frustrated about spending all that money and is taking it out on you becoming vegan.

Sometimes I spend over $200 in one grocery trip, but only when I'm stocking up on canned and dry packaged foods and stuff to go in the freezer. If I buy too many fresh fruits and veggies at once I end up wasting them.

You might want to think about thanking your dad for buying special food for you, if you haven't already. Ok, his attitude kinda sucks, but he still did a really nice thing.

I'm confused on how that's ironic?Me too... :S

Plus...I dont think he was wrong to freak out...$200 for one person...Ridiculous.

::Yes, it's unusual to live your life this way. Maybe thats why you don't see faces like mine everyday::

You seem to have a pretty great decent dad actually. I'm sure he's really frustrated that he spent all that money and that's why he was taking it out on your diet.

Think about if the situation were reversed. If you worked your butt off all week and spent $200 on meat/eggs/dairy for someone you might end up a wee bit annoyed also

I know, and I thanked him. He knows I care. The irony is that he called me brainwashed, when all the meat eaters are brainwashed
