Things meat eaters say and do

[DiaShel]

Oh, and I usually get, "do you actually like that stuff?"

[LGBunny]

I tend to not mind even the stupid questions - It's when I get told stuff that I get annoyed. Like 'you need meat' 'you are not going to make any difference' etc etc

My life, my choice grrrrr

[leedsveg]

When I told my dear old mum that after being vegetarian 5 years, I was also giving up on eggs and dairy food etc, she asked me in all seriousness, "Are you now what they call a vagrant?"

Bless her!

[harpy]

"are you now what they call a vagrant?"


lol!

The other day, someone at work asked me if I wanted a drink, and I said no (I don't like caffeine). Another colleague asked me - in all seriousness - "Can't vegans drink tea and coffee?"

[BlackCats]

(I have been asked that as well Stu.)

Also people have said: can you eat soya/ nuts/ olives/ yeast/ mushrooms?
Are you going to buy a Mcflurry?:rolleyes::D

[fiamma]

Oh I just get the usual "But you're depriving yourself of so many things!"

(yawn)

Or the classic "So what do you eat?"

(double yawn)

[exec]

So, you eat only greenish things?

[DiaShel]

"So what do you eat?"



oh that is a classic! I get that so much!

[Roxy]

It wasn't a question....it was a statement exclaimed by this girl I used to work with. When she saw me eating a sandwich she said in a loud voice "OMG What are you doing!? BREAD'S NOT VEGAN IT'S GOT EGGS IN IT!" Then a while later I heard she'd been saying to other workers "Roxy's not a real vegan. I saw her eating bread."

Ugh. Grow up you little twit.

[Ruby Rose]

Someone asked me "How do you make cakes with no fat in them, then?". Do I look - for one moment - as if I don't eat fats???

[puca]

"Would you eat a piece of meat for a million quid?"

LOL

[Ruby Rose]

^ I always respond to that sort of stupid question by saying "would you eat a teaspooonful of tramp snot for a million quid?"

LOL that's a classic

I think being vegan has made me realise how ignorant a lot of the population are, and, more importantly, judgemental with their ignornance

What do you eat is my personal favourite. Just out of interest, what are people's favourite replies to that question?!

"how much time you got?"

"all sorts of deliciousness"

"pretty much what you eat in a different way"

[Elahiya]

at the university some time ago a guy really asked what i could eat. i answered: "u won´t believe it: i go to a supermarket and actually buy pasta and tomato sauce!" - he took it seriously LOL

a colleague once asked me if i could eat potatoes!

[veganwitch]

My husband and I were asked if vegans meant we were from Las Vegas.

The same person (once we had explained what it did mean) then said "oh, so I guess you can't eat peanut butter then".

Also got the comment from an ex-friend that she thought I would eat butter and eggs if it was baked into the food.

[Roxy]

LOL - I've also had the peanut butter one. "You can eat peanut butter? It's vegan?" :rolleyes:

[DiaShel]

What exactly does everyone think PB is made of?!

[Roxy]

eggs probably :confused:

[Elahiya]
