For anyone meat eater or vegetarian?

Question

How come people (mostly meat eaters) think vegetarians look weird? Do they really begin to develop weirdly or are other people just saying that?

Answer 1

Im a meat eater and I dont think vegetarians look weird...Ive never heard that before....

Answer 2

well, technically speaking meat eaters would be the ones to develop "weirdly" because of all the hormones you digest through meat, girls enter puberty earlier and earlier due to this...

Answer 3

If you make a small lyoung child...like age 3 or 4 not eat meat then they are going to have a lack of nutrition but no tlike have a morphed face and def not an adult because we are done developing

Answer 4

What do you mean by look weird? If it was a young child who has been vegetarian since a young age, they may be lacking nutritional goods for their bodies to develop, but other than that, I don't really see a difference...

Answer 5

I've been a vegetarian my entire life and nobody has ever said that I look weird, or different. In fact, a lot of people I know tend to forget that I'm vegetarian from time to time.

I think that the pale, thin and undernourished thing is just another stereotype that sometimes shows up on TV and in movies, and that any vegetarians who would look distinctly pale and sickly are either coincidence, or aren't eating correctly (such as not replacing meat with something in their diet.)

There are stereotypes for people who eat meat as well; just like the vegetarian stereotypes show up in the media, stereotype for meat-eaters have surfaced, with things such as fat people saying things like "meat makes you grow up big and strong" and patting their giant gut.

You know, that kind of stuff.

Answer 6

You mean weird because they dress in mismatched clothing, have curly hair and wear glassess, have this seemingly insatiable urge to help abandoned kittens, pigs out on rice with potato curry all the time  and incessantly watches nature shows on Nat Geo and the Discovery Channel duing theri free time??

Wait, that's not a vegtarian... that's my daughter who can't resist a bacon sandwich either.

I don't doubt that SOME vegtarians are weired the same way that  I don't don't doubt that some non-vegetarians are even weirder. But all of them? I don't think so.

Answer 7

huh ..thats odd maybe they think the lifestyle choice is weird but dont vegetarians for the most part blend in with everyone else unless they as an individual is ecclectic in some way shap or form

Answer 8

Meat eaters dun find vegetarian look weird, they find vegetarian 'think' weird.

Answer 9

Thay look the same as everyone else. Just a stupid rumor probably started by meat eaters becuase their haters.

-peace, love

Answer 10

There is no mal-nutrition with vegetarians. We get plenty of protein and iron from other foods. I have never heard of anyone saying a vegetarian develops weirdly. Judging by the numerous amounts of celebrities and super models that are vegetarian. I think they look pretty good. Take nat portman, alicia silverstein and pamela anderson for example i dont see any weird development there.

Jack johnson and Josh Hartnett are pretty s**y guy vegetarians as well!

Answer 11

That is just a misconception and a stereotype. We're not all pale, sickly and skinny. It's simply not true. Besides I really don't know how people come to these conclusions any way. I mean how many vegans do they know to come to such a generalization??

Answer 12

Yeah I think they look a little to pale, like a sickly colour. Take Aleisha Silverstone for example she used to be hot now shes not, she looks pale and gaunt

Answer 13

There are people that I have known my entire life, and I never knew they were vegetarian till one day I went out to dinner with them....vegetarians dont look any different than anyone else...Ive now been veg for about 6 months, I look exactly the same as I did before. Ive lost weight yes, but Im not sickly looking.

Answer 14

My veg head friend is kinda pale and her fingernails are thin, but that's the only thing I can think of?

I don't think veg heads are weird :) I like em.
