Things meat eaters say and do

[tempres]

I'd have to say that the silliest question I ever got asked was "does the colour of the food matter?"

I kinda stared at them for a while :eek: like, what...?

I think lots of people think peanut butter has butter in it.

[Manimal]

oooh I've had: "Oh you're vegan? We tried being vegetarian once but it just doesn't work".

I get really annoyed when people ask "are you ALLOWED this" or "are you ALLOWED that". I mean seriously. They must think that if I were to 'break the vegan rules' that the 'vegan leaders' are gonna hear about it and banish me forever... ARGH

I've gotten everything from "I was vegetarian for 2 days and couldn't take it!" to "I was vegan for 4 years and changed my mind". The second was more upsetting to me...

[Gorilla]

i get "don't you miss bacon sandwiches?" or "don't you miss cheese?"

[ellaminnowpea]

I think its quite amusing that I get introduced as "the vegan girl". Or "this is my vegan friend". Errr I guess I dont mind. I just laugh.



I've been asked if I could eat peanut butter, too. They said they thought it had animal fat or butter in it. And I was like "you thought there was animal fat in peanut butter and you still ate it?!".

Well that's how a lot of margarine is made and people don't think twice about eating that. :rolleyes:

[Elahiya]

i remember some other silly questions: when they discovered at the university that i am vegan, they also asked me: "do you eat eggs? but fish u eat, don´t u? and cheese as well? not even beef?"

[Rakey]

I was at a wedding Saturday and offered wedding cake.

I was told if i didn't take a bite of the cake (which more than likely had egg in) I would have a miserable marriage...??

I still didn't eat the damn cake.

[DiaShel]

I was at a big dinner with everyone in my program and only one person knows I'm vegan. She goes "remember when we got pumpkin Diane? You have to do that again now that it's fall". I gave her this look: :hmm: and she didn't get it for a while. Then finally she goes, oh wait, milk too? :amazed_ani:

I'm afraid to say that has been scientifically proven to be true.:D:rolleyes:

I went vegan one week before I got married and I didn't have much choice about what I could eat at the celebration after as we really planned it at the last minute and a few people said "can't you just stop being vegan for one day?":rolleyes: Didn't they know that the vegan police would be after me if I did that.;)

[sugarmouse]

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

LOL

I have had this before, I alwyas say yes I would. And the million would go to Viva, the doctor hadwen trust...

[LGBunny]

good answer :thumbsup:

[sugarmouse]

good answer :thumbsup:

thankyou!Seriously, I would do. It would hurt and i would hate it,. but I could publicise it to the local paper, the million I would use to broadcast veganism, I would donate donate donate!
As regard dumbass questions, I have been asked if I can eat potatos (wtf) and I alwyas respond, I CAN eat anything I want. I decide, not to!

[starlight]

I'm also amazed at the questions people don't ask. The obvious one being "why?"

[Shrapnel]

(:confused::D)

I think lots of people think peanut butter has butter in it.

Whaaaa!? You mean it's not made of baby seals, unicorn tears and people?

[Gorilla]

lol Shrapnel. quite a few people think chocolate can't be vegan because cocoa butter obviously has butter in it. :p

i've been asked by pescetarians (who called themselves vegetarians :rolleyes: ) "what on earth do you eat if you don't eat fish?" :mad:

[Stu]

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

Hahahahahaha!!!!! Love it.

[Ruby Rose]

I also get the dessert island one a lot. And after I explain that neither they nor I would have the first clue about butchering a cow with our bare hands, I get asked whether I would just drink the milk then. Er... what milk? You never said anything about a calf too? Do women just lactate for the hell of it, then?

=D It's gotta be the butter thing that's confusing, though people don't (I hope) assume there's dairy in soy milk. I'm not sure about Polish tofu. There, it's called 'ser tofu' (tofu cheese), so it may be like the cocoa butter thing.

Pescatarians who claim to be vegetarians baffle me too.

XD Some people are just clueless!

[BJJNick]

A lot of people just don't know what comes from animals.

I catch a lot of flack about wearing "vegan shoes"

People will act like I'm going too far with this vegan thing and treat me like I'm strange. That's when I ask them how much their shoes cost, and show how mine were cheaper AND didn't kill an animal. I call that person a murderer and end the conversation.

[missbettie]

^ ya that is interesting...I have tons of shoes...and i bought most of them in my pre vegan days it just so turns out that all of them are vegan cause i'm too cheap to pay the price for the other kinda... :D I love my frugalness.

[maidenofthewell]

I once got "If you had a rabbit and it malted loads of fur would you make a coat out of it?"

[helen105281]

About half hour ago in the kitchen at work a colleague asked how I could go through life never having a toffee crisp. He was buying one from the vending machine at the time. Then he asked me to point out all of the things in the machine that I could eat.
