Vegetarians:Have you ever met someone who didn't like you because you was a Vegetarian?

Question

or has there ever been someone that said to you eat some meat or stuff like that?

by the way i support vegetarian people

Answer 1

No I'm cool with people that eat meat because that's there choice, and being a vegetarian is mine. If i leave people alone about eating meat they leave me alone.

Answer 2

there are some people who think i'm offending God by not eating meat, and that really upsets me.  Christianity is one of the main reasons that i'm a vegetarian!!  i think people forget that everyone interprets their religion differently and it makes them less accepting....but i shouldn't be made to feel like a bad Christian for not eating meat.  other people choose not to eat onions....does that offend God, too?  because He certainly created onions for consumption, right?  

i think when people find out you're a vegetarian they assume that you're secretly judging them for eating meat....and while some vegetarians and vegans do that, i think most of us are of the persuasion that it's a personal choice what one eats and doesn't eat.

i'm just very, very thankful that those who are closest to me understand that i just have different opinions than they do and know not to take offense to it.

it's all about understanding =)

Answer 3

yup.... my mom =\

Answer 4

yes.  i have had it thrown at me, shoved in my face, and people yell at me to "EAT MEAT!" from across hallways and rooms...  i have also had people tell me stories about hunting and how it took five bullets to kill a deer and how it suffered... god they p*ss me off...

Answer 5

Yes, mostly my working colleagues, often claims that "their god" oblige them to eat animals. It made me anxious to know abt other religious, and eventually I researched most of the major religions doctrine and liked theology. Finally I returned to "zero"- GOD is LOVE, MERCY, COMPASSION...and "Man" is the worst animal that god ever created.

Answer 6

nope.. they just have a hard time understanding how I could give up meat

Answer 7

yes, a christian girl (I have no clue what sect of that religion she was) told me I would go to h**l because animals are made to eat in her opion and I guess bible's opinion. she was really mean to me about it, but I don't care, I kno animals are much more important to me than what she thinks.

Answer 8

Yes , there was this girl I met named Abigail and I told her I was a vegetarian. When I told her, she would always force me to eat meat, she would make fun of me and would even try to sneak meat in my food. Our friendship didn't last very long =\

Thanks for supporting us, vegetarians :D

Answer 9

I am not a vegetarian but I really don't support it, I mean we have to kill to survive...

Answer 10

A couple of my cousins teased me for awhile (OK, a long while... come to think of it, they might still be teasing me about it two decades later...)  But it's good-natured teasing and if it wasn't veg*nism, it would be something else.

When I first met my ex-husband, he almost didn't ask me out because he'd never met a vegetarian and thought I might be a total weirdo.  It didn't take him long to realize that was silly and he ought to get to know me.  After that, it wasn't an issue.

As far as I know, no one has ever disliked me for that reason.  I guess maybe a few insignificant people that I've met in passing might have, but oh well.  No one has ever seriously given me grief about it anyway.

Answer 11

Yea, at work people tease me for not eating meat all the time. But it's pretty much just that: teasing. I've never met anyone that I didn't like because they ate meat and I've never met anyone who didn't like me because I don't eat meat.

Answer 12

well my brothers always teased me... but they do that anyway.

Answer 13

Yes, people at my school dont understand my decisions. but luckily, my best friend and two of our other friends are vegitarian too, so even though the guys dont understand, were sticking together. haha

Answer 14

I haven't met anybody that ignorant but i'm sure me being a vegan I will next year in my sophmore yr of high school! Even though my mom and cousin do tease me kinda!
