What can you say back to meat eaters when they say "here, have some meat" and then laugh?!
I was thinking something like "no thanks, Id rather not die from heart disease"
Answers: It REALLY pisses me off. I want a snappy comeback to say back to them, anyone got anything?

If youre a guy, Pull your pants down and say, NO But you can have my sausage. I'm not gonna eat it XD
Whack them with a zucchini. Seriously, though, the only way be a happy vegan is not to preach it to anyone. Even saying matter-of-factly, "I'm a vegan" will sound pretentious. Just live and let live.
Just say, "No thanks, it looks like it's already been eaten once."
eh anything like that wont affect them anyway. try not to take it so seriously. if someone is persistently bustin your balls about it, tell em sternly whats up
the best thing to do is not give them the satisfaction of knowing they made you mad ,this way they have you ,,if you give them noting then yoiu have them.......just simply say no thank you ! and smile and look them in the eye so they know you are strong!
say what you intend
Just do your best to act like it doesn't bother. you..
if others see they get a real good reaction from you...they will continue on..for whatever reason
it is your choice to not eat meat..make sure you are not preaching about your choice..it is their choice to eat meat.....so..be it for all of you
simply smile politely..without saying something nasty...and say.."no thanks"..then continue on as if nothing.
say " if wanted any lip from you i'de get it off my zipper"
OMG it's a Sleestack!!!! Awesome avatar!!
Just ignore them.

Take the meat, Smile and tell them you're glad to do it, though you know you won't eat it , but by taking it from them, you're doing them a favor by preventing them from eating it, and you're possibly saving them from a heart attack down the road.
(Check their reaction when you take it)
I personally prefer to not dignify immature displays of stupidity with a response.
I prefer a live-and-let live attitude. I am personally not a vegetarian, nor do I intend top become one. But if this is your lifestyle then more power too you.
You don't need a snappy come back. Nothing you say will make any difference. They don't respect you or your life choices and so you can make little or no impact on them.
Your best bet is to ignore them and just say "No, thank you." if they offer you something.
But if you really want something to say.. "No thank you. I don't eat things that had a face." will either make them laugh or make them sick.
Note: even vegetarians get heart disease.
"That's what you're offering as meat? As a vegetarian, I can find cucumbers to put that to shame."
"As much as I appreciate your offer, I have to decline as obviously your meat consumption has cut off the oxygen to your brain, blocking your common sense."
I don't know who you are hanging out with, but you need some new friends if they are going to pick on you for your diet. Those aren't friends at all!
Yea, right, and have it all accumulate between my ears, like it obviously did to you? No thanks.
Is that supposed to bother you?
Why would you care if someone says something stupid like that?
Why don't you just laugh and walk away or say "no thanks"?
Here, have some meat, you'll feel better.
I'M JUST KIDDING. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Seriously, try not to take it so personally. People make dumb jokes, it's just what they do.
Your reply sounds way too over agressive, and people will think you've got issues. It sounds like you're basically wishing them death. Not a good jovial reply if you ask me.
It's not like they're saying to you "Have some meat, I prefer my friends to not look like they're dying from an iron deficiency." That would be mean, and would deserve the response idea you have. They're just totally joking around.
Why not just reply, "No thanks, I've just filled up on soy burgers and tofu. You know, the usual." Or something like that. And ultimately, who cares??? You're making a choice that you feel is best for your body. Who gives a roasted flax seed if other people don't get it?
Perhaps mentioning that it is the flesh of a dead rotting animal would be suitable. Or, mention the cholesterol, fat, and the adrenaline (from the animal being so scared when it was killed) in the meat. Diabetes, colon cancer and heart disease are also worthy of mention. Read "Skinny B*tch" for some of the best comebacks and you'll be armed with researched facts!
The more they see it bothers you, the more they will do it. Just say with a smile "No thanks, I am not hungry."
I try to stick to "No thanks." That way they don't have the satisfaction of knowing that they're getting to you. If you don't react, they'll get bored and quit bugging you.
Pity. Give them a very pitying look, and then say no thank you. Honestly, someone that childish should be pitied.
Either that, or you can tell them they're being juvenile. Or you can keep a friend around, and when someone pulls that 'eat meat' ****, you can just look over at your friend for support, give an eye roll or a 'good grief' kind of sigh and respond with a contemptuous smile.
say "no thanks", and then remind them that the taste of meat people like so much is from the bile in the muscle.
Eating meat won't kill you, especially if ate in moderation.
I'm a vegetarian, but I can't say that it's unnatural or especially cruel to eat animals. Why? Because it's untrue. It's part of nature Animals eat each other, too. The lives I "save", though they will be eaten anyway, are incidental.
The best route you can take? Being a bigger person. After all, supposedly, you're more mature. Act like it by being someone other vegetarians can be proud to be represented by, not like making some dramatic high school "comeback" or insult.
say "" LIVE AND LET LIVE" - okay the funny thing is most people say that, but they live and the animals die.where as being a veggie you can really say "live and let live"!
It would be best to just smile, politely say "no thank you", and go about your business. From Carol Adams' "Living Among Meat Eaters":
"I used to work with a guy who would always tease me with his meat sandwich. He would stick it in my face and say, 'Come on, you know you want it. Dead flesh is so good, mmm!' I never argued with him about it and usually I would just smile and continue to eat my lunch. Then one day he wanted to try something I had brought for lunch, and he liked it. From that day on he was always curious to know what I was eating, and I intentionally started bringing more food because I knew he would want some. After exciting his taste buds for several weeks, he confessed that he had cut back on eating meat, and he wondered if I had any info on vegetarianism that I could share with him....Today this friend is one of the most committed vegetarians I know."
"This vegetarian understood the necessity of ignoring a meat thruster. By ignoring that energy, the space was provided for the meat eater to begin to change. How do you cultivate the ability to ignore? Simply follow the rules of etiquette: Don't respond to their offensive behavior and simply repeat the mantra of 'No thanks. No thank you...No thank you.'"
Just say no thanks and laugh.
Ignore it. The only reason they do it is that you react. Seriously. Say, "No thanks, I'm a vegetarian."
no thanks but the tofu is great
meat no thanks here have a carrot
dead animal no thanks
salad anyone? anyone at all?
Well, you could laugh back at them and say "Shuttup and eat your veggies, son/girlie" or something along those lines... They're just poking fun at you, so poke them back.
ha that happend to me at work today actually, i just said "no thanks on that heart attack, and smiled" he got the hint quick :)
Just ignore them and move on. If they persist, find new friends.
Thank you.
