It makes them realize how stupid their question was... and then they actually stop talking and sit there to listen to you explain veganism. I've learned a few tricks over the years. :)

Ha! That's hilarious. Of course it can't exist, it's banned from the government, isn't it? :rolleyes: Some people...

"You don't even eat fish?? But god gave fish to humans to eat"

My response.

I remember when I was excluding dairy for health and then my dad was talking about what I could eat out during the break, and he mentioned fish, and I said, "No..." and he said, " yeah..." and I said, "No..." and he said, "Yeah..." And I said, "No...I don't eat fish." And at first he wasn't sure, because he knew that last time he'd seen me I had, and that I had mentioned doing this before, but that's basically how that happened. I forget if he knew I didn't eat eggs at that point, or if I mentioned after.

But, ..but...but the invisible person is an old, wise, white man with a white beard. How could he possibly be wrong?

She'll be pretty hacked off with you for getting her gender wrong and making fun of her facial hair growth, shame on you. Repent!

Good one!

Veget-arian comes from the Latin 'vegetus' (and presumably 'vegeta' for females :)) which translates as 'whole, sound, fresh and lively'. And that's all of us? Right?

I tend to take advice better from females. They are very persuasive...

That's according to the "Vegetarian Society", c. 1847 or so, almost exactly one century before Donald Watson and friends coined the term "vegan", but the word actually appeared in print years before that so how it came into being was actually the natural evolution of language, IMO, and "veg" from "vegetable" seems more believable if you ask me.

[Prior to the common usage of "vegetarian" such people were sometimes called "Pythagoreans".]

"The Vegetarian Society claim they created the word "vegetarian" in 1847 from the Latin 'vegetus' meaning 'lively' and the term vegetarian has nothing to do with vegetables.

The Oxford English Dictionary, however, cites two quotations pre-dating 1847:

1839 F. A. KEMBLE Jrnl. Residence on Georgian Plantation (1863) 251 If I had had to be my own cook, I should inevitably become a vegetarian.

1842 Healthian Apr. 34 To tell a healthy vegetarian that his diet is very uncongenial with the wants of his nature.

This shows that the word was around well before some brain decided to be clever with some cock and bull story about its origins..."

Stolen from another forum, so far from authoritative, but I thought I'd include it.

I got the old knee-jerk, "where do you get your protein?" yesterday from a young educated Chinese gal, just as we were finishing our noodle making class:all that stretchy gluten rich dough and she didn't recognize protein.

"So what do you eat????"

:lol: Never get sick of posting that one :D

Oh, and "Do you eat yeast?"

Well, I guess yeast is a kind of living organism... shall we forgive them? :rolleyes:

That's interesting, Mahk! Thanks for posting about it. I LOVE learning the etymology of words; it's such an interesting subject to dig about in (to me, anyway!:)) I must admit, I always thought 'vegetarian' was connected with vegetables - that seemed the logical explanation - so I was interested to read about the 'vegetus' idea. Seems the original one was right after all!
