For the vegans and vegetarians-

Question

What the weirdest thing anyone ever did/said regarding your dietary choices?

Just curious- I have been a vegetarian for a year now and the weirdest thing for me was when I heard from someone being a vegetarian was satanic? (In this book they read ) Weird

Answer 1

Animals purpose is for humans to eat. This muslim girl went on and on about how animals are only meant to eat and stuff. AHH!!!

Answer 2

I've been veg*n for 21 years.  About a year or two in, an ex-vegetarian started working with my boyfriend and told him, "Oh my god, you have to convince your girlfriend to stop being a vegetarian!  She'll turn green!  It happens if you're vegetarian for three or four years..."  I swear, the whole time we were together (11 years) he scanned me regularly for signs of green-ness.  Perhaps I'm some sort of miracle veg*n 'cause I'm still, you know, flesh colored....

Answer 3

i can die without meat..

Another said

Ur an idiot....animals are made to be eaten..

  

Answer 4

Let me think....

Well i get alot of c**p because my family hunts and fishes and LOVES their meat. But i always get into debates with my stepdad regarding the fact that it is environmentally friendly to have a veg diet/lifestile. (even though he doesnt give a rat's about the environment)

He starts with "Cow farts are depleting the ozone and plants produce oxigen so i am eating the problem and you are eating the soultion"

Then i come back with "and what happens when a 'pool' breaks and leaks animal excriment into the river system?"

End of debate.  

Answer 5

My mom said: 'You need to eat meat' or something like that.

Answer 6

People are always like, "What do you eat?" and I'm just like, "umm, everything but meat..."

Answer 7

I find it funny that when i tell people of my goal to become vegan( currently vegetarian with a goal to be completely vegan within a month or two), and they get angry at me as if I am ripping their burger out of their mouth. I don't force my lifestyle on anyone, so I don't get why they feel that my not eating meat is offensive to them.

Weirdest thing said so far? "Well, vegans are all sickly looking."

Yeah? Tell that to Olympian Carl Lewis!

Answer 8

Probably when my friend invited me to KFC.

Answer 9

What I want to know is, if we're not supposed to eat animals, then how come they're made of meat?

Answer 10

Mostly I don’t’ like it when people are hostile to my dietary choices. Regardless of health issues, moral issues and environmental issues what I choose is what I choose. Being hostile and telling me how much I must *really* want something else certainly is not going to change my mind.

I eat almost nothing plant derived. You vegans should be able to eat what you decide to as well.  

Cheers!

Answer 11

thats a myth..go to www.webmd.org.search it..its a great diet..

Answer 12

the weirdest thing came from my brother(who got it from carlos mancia)

"animals f**t, by eating them i am saving the environment, plants clean the oxygen, you're killing the environment." (or something like that)

Answer 13

people who ask if i eat chicken.

Answer 14

Dumb: ''How do you live without protein?!''

Dumber: ''You NEED meat!''

rolls eyes

Answer 15

Plants feel pain, how do you know plants don't feel pain?, plant killer, vegetable cruelty, etc etc.

I'm sorry but harvesting a vegetable is just not the same as slaughtering an animal.

Answer 16

I think it's weird when people come up and say, "Whats a veg@n" Oh yeah and when people randomly hold things up to my nose and act like they want me to dig in. I like to threaten them and tell them i'll slap their plate up in the air *laughs*

Answer 17

"i know someone who died because she was a vegetarian. you're gunna kill yourself if you don't eat meat."

Answer 18

The strangest was, "What do you eat?"

The concept that there is no possible way to have a meal unless there is some sort of meat involved seems strange to some people.

Answer 19

My uncle, the 50-year-old Baptist minister who is about to enter into his third marriage, told me and my cousin's pescatarian wife that we're defying God by not eating meat. He even showed us some Bible passage about how God gave man (as in humans) the animals to reign over and do with as he wishes. We said we weren't going to change our dietary habits just because of one passage, and he looked up and said something like, "You see, God. They're not listening to you."

That was, by far, the strangest one I'd ever encountered.

Answer 20

"I love animals.  They taste great."

God just makes you want to break the idiot's jaw.
