What do you think about vegetarians?

The only meat I really eat is fish, and that's only in one meal a day, so I'm pretty darn close to being a vegetarian, so evidently I don't exactly mind vegetarians. :P Although, in my case, it's for the health benefits that I eat like that, not because I see something wrong with eating meat.

Anyway, for every vegetarian who hassles meat-eaters over eating meat, there's a meat-eater who hassles vegetarians over not eating meat. I don't get why everyone singles out vegetarians for the practice of giving people grief over their eating habits. Just live and let live.

lol they're the Mormons of food

i dont really mind them so long as they meet two conditions first they dont push theyre non meat eating ways on me and second they dont invite me to dinner.

You can't even eat ONE meal without meat in it? :?

Its something I could never do.Big_Bad_Sad

That's the problem. People create boundaries around themselves to shield themselves from making any changes to their lives.

No that's vegans. They're just funny. I really dont get the flack people give to vegetarians either as long as they don't give us omnivores flack.

That's what I told myself when I was 16 and meat made up the majority of every meal I ate. :P

The trick is finding meals that don't include meat that you nonetheless enjoy eating. There's a lot of options; a common misconception is that you can't be a vegetarian without eating like a rabbit.

But that's just it, it's not just vegetarians. I don't drink alcohol, and inevitably, I always have to explain myself to everyone around me when I'm drinking something non-alcoholic at a get-together as if I'm doing something wrong. But nobody ever gets on the case of those who drink alcohol for this sort of thing.

No, we don't trade one kind of meat for the other... if you know what I mean.

I'm a vegetarian and I'm getting alot of hat'ns. What do you guys think about us? :|

H8sMikeMoore

fairly unhealthy people if not very strict about protein .

unaware that they arent helping animals, as soy (the only practical/complete non animal protein) contributes sto rain forest destruction and kills more endangered animals.

You know that 80% of the soja (for which a lot of forest is destructed) is ment for the bio industrie??

I think I wanna ask you guys, how are you still alive? how do you do it?

Easy. Just not being naive... hehe
Just eat enough nuts and eggs and fruit and stuff. and lovely soja burgers.

some don't consider fish to be "meat", for one.

Why don't they consider fish as "meat" ?

Because they are not strictly vegetarians.

I see veggies the same way I see meat eaters - meh. Your eating habits are of no concern to me. Unless you eat humans. Or asparagus. Weirdos.
