dumb things people say to vegetarians

1. "so now you can't have burgers/fried chicken/steak/(insert food with meat in it here)? That's so sad!"
um... no. i made the choice to not eat meat anymore, because i don't want to eat meat anymore. So I CAN eat meat whenever, but I don't. Want. To.

2. "you're not going to get enough protein."
If I had $1 for every time someone said that, i wouldn't be broke anymore. I have nothing more to say on the matter.


3. "it's just a phase these newfangled teenager generations are going through, you'll forget about it in 6 months."

4. "you sure you don't want to try this burger/fried chicken/steak/(insert food with meat in it here)? Positive?
oh, i'm sure.
"Okay... You're missing ou-ut!"

5. "Wow that takes a lot of determination. I could never live without burgers/fried chicken/steak/(insert food with meat in it here)!"
Congrats. Want a cookie?

6. "Is this a diet?"
No.

7. "Animals were brought on the earth for people to eat!"
^One of the most self-centered things I've ever heard.

And last but definitely not least...
8. Plants are living things too you know!! You might as well become a breatharian if you want to save lives that much!1!!1!!11!
You're hysterical. Wow, such funny. Well done.
