I hate vegetarians who shove their way of life at people. I've been getting my vegetarian on for some time now, and I couldn't care less if someone eats a damn steak in front of me. Have at it! Eat your damn meat! let me just understand - you're a vegetarian? i'm confused. Yes. I'm a vegetarian.  Well, a pesco-vegetarian, any way.  Insatiable taught me everything I know about balls.

[sarcasm] i'm sorry that we are apparently infringing on your quality of life in such an extensive way. i had no idea. [/sarcasm]
there are annoying vegetarians, there are annoying meat eaters. there are just as many people on either side who are perfectly fine, well-adjusted, curteous people. i don't understand why some of you feel compelled to paint with such a wide brush. people talk to me about what kind of meat they ate last night all the time. i can put that into perspective, without reacting in such harsh ways as some have on this thread. maybe if you just listened for a minute about why they chose to be vegetarian or vegan, you might learn something you didn't know before. that doesn't mean they'll convert you, it just means that you keep an open mind. and that's good for all kinds of things...  | |

In response to Nero, this type of comment does make me defensive and I'll explain why. I have never come across any vegetarian or vegan who has preached to me on the subject. Never. I have, however, come across people who have derided me and tried to convince me that eating a vegetarian diet is not healthy and some even go as far as to tell me I'm stupid to follow this type of regime and that mankind wasn't meant to eat a vegetarian diet. On that basis, I think I am right to respond to this thread and that my comments on the subject are as valid as anyone elses. I get tired of justifying my viewpoint on this subject. It's my right not to eat meat and I defend it. To say that there are people who force vegetarianism on others just isn't telling the story as it is. We are by far in the minority and sometimes we get pushed to defend ourselves. Maybe it's different in your country but where I come from I don't come across militant vegetarians. I haven't seen vegetarians here preaching to others either. I've seen the odd thread where people have asked for recipes or discussed meat-alternatives, but the only threads I can recall where the debate has been opened have been from meat-eaters criticising us. I just want people to stop judging other people and it seems that us vegetarians are a minority that it's ok to pick on. Meat-eaters who do that stuff are bastards, too. You're right, if it was a bloody perfect world, we'd all just shut the hell up and do our own thing, Christians, vegetarians, meat-eaters, and pro-lifers alike. 
I can only wage war on one thing at a time.  Insatiable taught me everything I know about balls.

I think that most of us can agree that we don't like ANYBODY to preach to us how we should live. Right?  | |

People who have become vegetarians have generally thought about their choices. If you come across some who preach to you then either accept that they may be new to it and therefore somewhat evangelical (as most people who have recently made any kind of life choice can tend to be) or feel free to tell them to stop being so sanctimonious and self-rightous. If you do ask about why they have made the choice, though, listen and make your own decisions. You don't have to be rude or perpetuate the belief that all vegetarians preach. To be honest most of us have come across so many people who criticise us that we don't even mention it unless we are prompted or have to. | |

People of all diets can be fucking preachy. But unless they're concerned for your health, it's best just to ignore them.
Myself -I don't eat much meat, but I do enjoy it every once in a while. I've got some self-imposed rules about eating meat that I've been told is pretty fuckered up. You know how some people are veg b/c they don't want to eat something that's cute? (Not common, of course, but it happens) I have no problem eating a cute animal like a rabbit or something, but I can't bring myself to eat a smart animal or a predator. I can't eat pork because pigs are just so intelligent. Lucky for me, cows aren't particularly smart, so I can make with the burger eating.
I once ate bear meat though, and it felt so unnatural In nature, a bear could tear my 100 lb. self to shreds. I shouldn't be eating soemthing that can do that.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

JuniperBeans said: You know since im like madly moody and pissed off right now...I think I'll post here. I personally thought..."Self...It would be cool to try out vegetarianism..." so I tried it...and then I'm like..."Self...what the hell is wrong with me....Im puerto rican I need my damn rice and beans and my damn MEAT"...So I stopped... I think its healthy to eat more veggies and all that crap right...but what drives me insane is theses scrawny ass girls...."oh look at me I don't eat meat cause ima get a fat ass....oh boohoo" ENOUGH ALREADY...Or "OMG I DONT EAT MEAT HOW DARE YOU!?" Its like okay shut the hell up and grab your salad and go ( I work as a chef )...I hear this eeeeevery day....so last night..I was preparing a rehearsal dinner...and the waitress wanted to eat...sure..eat away..oh nonono I only eat..salad she says....
<< my face..."Meat is horrible"... <<< I had to pretend to care...anyway....as I ramble on...my point is....there are some damn vegetarians who need to shut the hell up...tthe world dont need to know that they are vegans and that they don't eat eggs cheese and only survive on grass...Frankly my dear I don't give a damn...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

ya know what - if dyed-in-the-wool carnivore types expect vegetarians to have a "live and let live" attitude about what other people eat, they're gonna have to keep in mind that it works both ways. my feelings mirror Reincarnate's in that i'm not some kind of evangelical zealot preaching the superiority of a vegetarian lifestyle, but if you ask me why i do it, i'm gonna tell you about it. it DOES get tiring to have all of these negative stereotypes stapled on to me when people find out i'm a vegetarian - like i'm some kind of self-righteous anemic hippie just because i don't eat your damn white castles and steaks. people who take the time and bother to get to know me know that's not the case. and, interestingly enough, those are the people i choose to respect and acknowledge. the rest of you all can just soak in your presumption and ignorance, and eat a big truckload of fattyburgers for all i care. | |

I know what you're talking about. It's usually the people that see themselves as more "pure" or "enlightened" or "healthy" that have that kind of attitude. People with beards and sandals, in a literal or non-literal sense. Like morning people for example. They rule the world! Not only do I have to get up at seven a.m. to work because of them, they also have to make it clear to me that they think evening people are lazy and "miss so much of the day". Well they miss a whole big chunk of the night! Fuckers... | |

This actually raises some interesting question about why eating animal flesh is socially acceptable, but eating human flesh is a huge social taboo. Where did that gross factor come from? Did it stem from a natural instinct for self-preservation in which seeing something on your plate that once looked like you was too much for most people to handle? In which case, what of tribal societies where cannibalism plays an important part in religious and ceremonial rituals? spelling edit [Edited 7/5/05 0:54am] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

To really be consistent, I'd either have to take up eating human flesh, or give up meat altogether. Something to think on for a while, I think. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
