Hesitation in taking non-veg leftover for packed lunch!

I have learned that quite some of us also take leftover as packed lunch. I hesitate to take non-veg leftover for lunch, it is because most of my colleagues are vegetarian. But whenI have veg leftover I take it. How do you manage if you have to share with somebody who don't take that cooked food?

I have a few friends and some family members who are vegetarians, but not one of them gets offended by my love of meat. While I won't force anything on them (like waving a forkful of meatloaf under their nose), I also won't change my eating habits to cater to them.

Thank you for the input. My colleagues also don't offended by my eating habit.

Not sure what the problem is here. You are a meat eater and I am sure your colleagues know about it. If you take a packed lunch to the office, is there any rule that you MUST share your lunch? If it's the done thing in your workplace for everyone to share their food then you should try to get around this by taking in something suitable to match their needs BUT really your packed lunch is YOUR packed lunch and you should eat what you want to eat. I don't see vegetarian people worrying about offending meat eaters by eating just vegetarian food LOL :)

It sounds very true to say vegetarians don't worry about offending meat eaters by eating veg.

Well, there isn't much you can do about it, is there? I mean, if you eat meat, it's not like you are bothered by the fact that your colleagues don't?
Unless, of course, you have some obligation to feed your coworkers. Then you might need to scrounge up something that would work for them as well.
