Ok, so in my last post I mentioned that I had a whole slew of unbelieveably dumb questions I'd been asked. So here goes:

"You still eat bacon, right?"

"Can you eat animal shaped crackers? Or does that, like, hit too close to home?"

"Can you talk to animals?"

"Do you sneak bites of meat when no one is looking"

And, my personal favorite, the "what would you do if" scenario that will never happen but that people still feel compelled to ask:

"If you were in a forest/jungle/desert and there were no plants, only animals, would you eat one to stay alive?"

" You still eat fish, right? Yes I know some vegetarians do, but I really don't understand it. To me it's like they're asking, you quit drinking, but you still drink beer, right? "

" My friend asked me once (as a joke) if I would still eat soy if when you picked the beans they screamed.

It was hilarious!

I think that sometimes people have too much time on their hands to think up stupid questions to ask. "

" "Oh your vegan thats nice... WHAT?!? you dont even eat cheese?????"

I also love the old protein/calcium line... you know meat and dairy are not the only sources of protein and calcium on the planet and there is such a thing as vitamins. You can't really blame people though, they just dont understand thats why I love when people say things like that or ask questions because your getting it out there and increasing social knowledge even if its only in your own social circle "
