Vegetarians & Vegans Support Group

omg i know!
thats so annoying i get it all the time!
i just say that i eat food like any other person i just dont include meat. and if ppl start telling me im stupid or crazy or whatever i just give them some nasty facts about the meat they are eating like how the animals are killed or what they do to the meat after and see what they have to say. its actually pretty funny.

they'll usually shut up real fast.

tell them that our body is that of a herbivore, we have a digestive system that is not meant to digest animal products... then you politely tell them that you are not questioning every morsel of food they put in their mouths, so they can stay out of yours...lol

my goodness!
i feel the same!
i get it from my family at practically every meal time!!!
but the worst is when my friends forget and try n feed me meat. they dont mean to but they dont understand how annoying it is!!

Here is something from one of my favorite blogs which pertains to the most annoying question ever!! http://www.diseaseproof.com/archiv...

Someone with a sense of humor on Etsy made this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.p...

I'm not trying to shill their products or anything, but I thought it was a cute idea to explain away this common, misinformed question.

i get so annoyed when ppl say that. i scream in my head " YOUR AN IDIOT" but i never say it. i just tell them that i eat beans and nutas plus take protein supplements. im vry safe about it all.

I know what you are all going through with other people always critizing and putting down the way we eat. I am a raw foodist and I get it from every direction. I just don't say anything unless asked specifically and if they seem interested then I will explain in further detail but it really is nobody's business on how I live my life. I am lucky my family supports me in what I am doing. For others, they just have to have the last word and it makes them angry so everyone, don't take it personal, just let it be what it is, you know what is good for you because you are listening to your body. Be grateful that you are happy and healthy. Don't let others get under your skin, only you know what is best for you.

Wow... Great ideas. I haven't completely stopped meat. But in the past month, stopped eating red meat. It was something I read and even though I knew it before, something just CLICKED inside me and I stopped. But, I love the comments to say to people when I do eat healthy, or veggies and they are eating "crap". Not to say that i am not, but am working on changing our eating lifestyle even further. We do eat raw veggies, lightly steamed actually, but still have crispness. Will get there. LOVE the comments. Will remember them and maybe use them if needed.
