My roomie is an omni too--but he usually eats out so he has very little in the fridge--but I hate when he brings KFC home and I have to smell the torture *EWWW*

ew me too,  my old omni roommate was not very clean and i remember some sort of mystery meat and mystery cheese being in our fridge for the longest time.  it was disgusting.  luckily he too was not much of a cook and mostly ate out... i think thats why the meat and cheese just sat there in the fridge.  blegh.  luckily there was another vegan roommate with me to complain with.

i definitely have omni roomies. i can't wai to have my own place pr share with a vegan.

haha my roomie is an omni and i said sraight up not cool wi non vegan jazz in m fridge..now we hae seperate fridges,....eeep

but she's soo cool and supportive of me*!~  :)

I feel so lucky to have such great roommates. My one roommate is essentially vegan, and while I do eat some dairy/eggs, (don't be hatin', I'm responsible and only buy when I can get cage free/cruelty free/local products), I mostly cook vegan, so it kicks butt that we can share and enjoy the same food. I love baking and cooking, and it's great and healthy when she can enjoy the food too, (I always make more than my SO and I can eat, and I hate when food goes to waste).

My other roommate does eat meat, but is so supportive of different dietary lifestyles, and is very receptive to veg/vegan rationale. She's seriously considering a veg lifestyle, but it's very difficult to go veg culturally and economically for her.. to an extent, for all of us. We can't get a lot of fresh food on campus as there are no foodstores. 7-eleven offers some fresh fruit/veg, but at outrageous prices.

My SO is extremely cool, and specifically requested that I make the famous Gen. Tso's tofu, since he LOVES Gen Tso's and wants to eat healthier foods.

@earthguard: That totally sucks about your roommates. I have a really hard time with people who don't respect other people's choices, even if they don't understand them. Some hypocrisy there, since I have a big problem with respecting people who take no interest in where their food comes from, regardless of whether they're vegetarian or not. The world would be a much better place if people would take the time to try to understand other people's choices, whether than judging them. Opening up dialogues for the win.

My four apartment-mates are loyal followers of the SAD diet!  Three of them will not even try my vegan food (including the cookies, chocolate cake, etc.) and make degrading comments when I cook.  There parents (and probably my roomies as well) refer to me as "the girl who doesn't eat anything" and always make comments about how "sorry" they are that I eat the way I do.  It's really disrespectful because I try my best to not complain about the massive amounts of meat, cheese, milk, and other animal by-products take up our refrigerator, leaving only the smallest drawer for my veggies and fruit.    Our pantry is overflowing with junk food and I am routinely excluded from midnight snack/study parities because I "cannot eat anything normal."  I am consoled by the fact that I am the healthiest one in the apartment.  I am beyond the point of really caring because I know that I am going to be much better off in the long run! 

that sucks dude, we should make a vegan army and fight by poking them with carrots. 

what is this SAD diet? 

but the real question is, are you planning on moving out? Exit strategy!!! or are you gonna stay and see if they'll make peace?

good luck!

My 3 roommates all eat pretty gross in my opinion.  The only time it bothers me is when the fridge smells like rotting milk and when they don't wash the sponges after they clean their meaty gross dishes.  Ugh.  But no one has said anything to me about having my Vitamix taking up a lot of counterspace and making lots of noise a few times a day.  My food also takes up a lot of fridge space since I have to buy a lot of fresh produce and stuff.  No one complains, so I guess it's a trade off.  ;)

maybe theres a meat eating message board that people go to complain about all of our appliances and produce.  hehe.

Ha ha ha!  That would be so funny!  I'm sure other topics on the meat eating message board include "I can't poop" "Why is my cholesterol so high, I only eat chicken!" and "Salmonella Again"  ;D

Has anybody else notice that meat eatters smell kinda 'beefy'. It's not really disgusting but they do smell like beef. My own kids that eat meat do. Especially when we're in the car. I keep wondering if I  smell like plant food.

One of two roommates I currently have is omni and it doesn't bother me really. She doesn't judge me for the food I eat and I don't judge her for the food she eats. The way I see it, she can put whatever she wants into her body, it isn't my choice or my place to tell her otherwise. Her free-range chicken sometimes doesn't smell too great but neither do my chickpeas when I rinse them. Thus is life.
