All vegetarians/vegans!?

Question

When people yell at you, for beinf vegetarian or vegan, what do you say back?

This really fat girl keeps yelling at me, she's like

"you need meat, see? *takes a bite of chicken* I do!"

Like, I've said to her, oh trust me you don't need any more meat..

But what's something I can say back?

Like about all the health risks of eating meat, and all that stuff, like not just to her, but when even random people say c**p to me, I never can think of anything good -_-

thanks xD

Answer 1

Dont say ****. I dont even acknoledge some stupid thing like that, roll your eyes or something but dont say anything... its pointless. You try to convince them of the health factor and all it will only get worse.

so just do your thing, and let them keep talking

Answer 2

i just usually ignore that, people say they dont want us to push are views on them, but its the meatheads that are usually bringing up the subject,

when ppl do the mmm this ice cream/meat is good and you can't have any, i tell them no i can have some whenever i want its my choice not to have any,

i find it kinda of a sick funny how they mock us about are beliefs like they think were embarassed about them or something,

who cares what they think not everyone is going to agree with veganism/vegetarianism,

ps, you could tell that girl, just cause you can shove meat down your face doesnt mean you need it, if we all shoved **** down are throats wouldnt mean we need it

Answer 3

Be educated so you can always have a response. Some people don't really deserve your time though. Don't waste your energy on people like that. However, if an immature, fat woman said something like that to me I'd probably eye her up and down real obviously and say firmly "Yeah, I can see how good that diet is treating you" laugh and walk off forgetting that person. Trust me, she'll find out sooner or later what that weight is doing for her.

You have a lot of options. Just be yourself. Don't waste your time on people who aren't worth your time. Educate yourself- you should when making a decision so that *if* you do choose to say something, it has more ground than "cuz I say so", etc. Carry yourself with confidence. Some people are more insecure with themselves than they are you and just take it out on you if they think you might be an easy target. Don't let them think you are an easy target. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Well i'm a life long vegetarian, with a vegetarian 2 yr old, married to a beef farmer!! Hey you can't choose who you love!!

I personally couldn't bare to eat meat, never have, but i wouldn't push my views on others & believe everyine has the right to their own choices & i appreciate the same level of respect back... FIL is as childish as they come on this one, i have managed to bite my tongue so far on saying red meat was probably the cause of his triple bypass at 57...........

Answer 5

Just say, I don't criticize you for eating meat, you shouldn't yell at me about my decisions. If they continue just say I'm sorry I don't like placing dead flesh in my mouth. I'm sorry I like to make decisions for my health and go against the views of society.

A little reverse psychology. :) Oh, and try not to let these people bother you, I'm lucky that most people around me are open to my choice. Good Luck.

Answer 6

Nobody yells at me for not eating meat.  Are you obnoxious about it?  If you're mean to her about her weight, then maybe she is angry with you.

Be compassionate and you will receive that in return.  

Why not just avoid the angry fat girl altogether?

Why do "random people" say things to you?  Are you wearing a tshirt that says "Only a**holes eat meat"?

Answer 7

when it comes to cokmunchers like that . you just say .....

no, your right actually, im stopping being a vegetarian (or any other thing), youve made sense. I was so wrong. im not a vegetarian / other anymore. cheers mate.

then you avoid them (like the plague) and continue as you were before their stupid face invaded your life.

if they see you going back to your old ways and pull you up on it, then you just give increasingly stupid excuses which insult their intelligence.

Answer 8

You should say  ''well thank you very much for your well educated well thought out comments I am sure they will be beneficial to my life...... Good day to you ''

Answer 9

It's your life and you, and you only, make the decisions.

I would not bother to enter into their opinions and points of view. Be abrupt and final. Give out a big conversation stopper, works every time! Invite them to a trip to an abattoir, see how they react!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

im not sure but i like your response =]

good luck dealing with people

i usually go for "nah you can enjoy eating decapitated animals but its not for me ta"

= ]

Answer 11

Just ignore her. Any reaction she gets from you will just make it worth her while. Either that or ask her if she really wants to know why you don't eat meat, then show her a mirror.

Answer 12

'You need lettuce, see?'

"Because somehow, the thought of dead flesh decomposing in my colon doesn't sound all that appealing.''

Answer 13

You don't have to say anything mean back. Just say something like:

people make their own choices, I've made mine, you've made yours. Just because one person thinks I should eat meat, I'm not going to do it and forget about everything I believe in.

^^ Maybe something like that. You don't have to be mean. But you should get the point across.

Answer 14

It's your choice to eat the way you do, and they eat the way they do...they say those who speak much know little and those who speak little know much...educate yourself on those reasons, that it is unhealthy as a population for us to eat meat.such as it costs more for one thing to grow food to feed the meat sources, and the slauter house factor..either order this book(the food reveloution... how your diet can help save your life and the world by  john robbins)or go to your library and get it ..itll help you if you need to speak back to those with less knowledge on the damage they do to their own bodies.

Answer 15

How bout that it is proven that red meats have been linked to cancer! Pork is really bad for you it clogs your intestines.

Obviously she is over weight, so I dont understand why she is acting like that.

Overweight ppl who eat meat that isnt good for them, end up getting high blood pressure, cancer, man I could go on and on.

Answer 16

Just say "no I don't," and ignore her.
