Dont ask then you such and so

I get asked a lot why I'm vegetarian mostly by family. My response is because it's healthier and I dont agree with the mass production of animals. People then usually get all defensive with me, they say things like well if we didnt kill animals we'd be over run by them etc. And I guess thats true but if we had a more natural life for animals it would be different and we dont.

Why in the world do people ask if they just want to argue with you over what you believe. They asked in the first place and it's not like I'm HARMING anyone or my self being vegetarian. Its starting to boil my blood.

I never go around saying to people gross things while their eating their meat, in fact I dont say anything at all, because i respecet their choice even if I dont agree with it. It just gets so frustrating sometimes.

 

Just offer them some ofyour veggie burger

 

people do that to me, too. people sometimes think that us veg people are somehow trying to be morally superior with our choice, or maybe it's because they can't justify to you why they eat meat, so they argue with you to hide what they really think about it.

or at least in some people i've encountered. people try to get me to eat stuff all the time, like, pulling the meatballs out of spaghetti and trying to get me to eat the noodles. ha ha when i say no they get upset like i've hurt their feelings because i won't eat it.

being veg, you'll just have to accept that some people won't understand because they won't try.

 

My mother says I brag about being veg and want everyone to know. Its lame. They just dont totally understand, but I know its hard to keep your cool when everyones always on your case. I just laugh when my family or friends start in on me for being veg.

 

what's wrong with that?

i brag about being vegan

and some people hate it lol

they just hate it

 

yes we are just better.........

 

People definitly get defensive about that I've noticed. Even when you say nothing at all! You just gotta be like hey man its totally cool you eat meat I just don't wanna do it so its all good man calm down =)

 

i hope you arent being serious.....what anyone eats or doesnt eat makes no difference in how good a person they are. a vegan child molester is certainly not a better person than an omni who is active in helping other people through charities and soup kitchens and such. your diet is little reflection of your personality. it may show how you feel towards animals, and not eating them is a great way to help them out, but if you dont care about your fellow man as well then you're still a dick. and being self righteous makes you even more so.

 

But we are still WAYYYYYYY better :^}

 

I know someone like that. It's annoying as hell.

I'm not saying that you do it, or in the same way she does. Just pointing out that someone who constantly wants to make it known to everyone else can be hard on the nerves. But then, she likes to argue with people about it too. But only if she knows them. She lacks the self-confidence to argue with anyone she does't know well.
