Are we really that misunderstood?!
Answers in the past few hours about the vegetarian food labeling, side effect, and overall health questions
“Meatless doesn't mean no meat!.!. it means less meat!.!.”
“Since avoiding the grains and getting more protein/fat into my diet, I've noticed an improvement in my skin!.”
“She is that seious about a healthy diet, she stop her periods for over a year”
“You will starve!.!.good luck on your quest”
There are more answers such as these, but I am sure you get my point!.
It just amazes me (and makes me laugh), why people are so uneducated about being vegetarian!. Its personal choice, but why are people so misinformed about the topic!?
I understand that many children come here, but I have seen the same lack of education in the real world with adults, whom are obviously passing on their lack of wisdom!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Many people don't know much about nutrition!. It's why America is so fat!. I personally find nutrition a little confusing sometimes, but I do try and eat healthier!. But remember that food is not the only thing that people are uneducated about!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't know where those people come from!. Everyone I know (except for one redneck lazy-a$s) knows that vegetarian diets are generally more healthful and many actually congratulate me saying, "I wish I could do what you did but I don't have the willpower!."
When people come here and show their lack in veg*n health education but answer anyway, I sometimes get dumbfounded, wondering "what the hell are they smoking!?"Www@FoodAQ@Com

LOL! Finnaly someone who shares my views!!! People are so , to be frank, stupid, when it comes to strange or so called 'unormal' things!. They dont understand that its a view piont of those holding it!. It has nothing to do with society or with the differant bits oc culture, its a personal matter!. But those dumb people are just bound and determined to be stupid about it and make fun at everything they dont understand!.
I have to say, I have been trying out being a vegitarian for some time now and I love it! True, sometimes I fall short of the perfect Vegtarian, but no ones perfect!.
Keep up the good work, even though it can be hard sometimes!. Most arent that smart and nearly none have the ability to see into the future!. They think only of the present and so, nothing else matters to them!. I cant wait to the time when all those people will be gone!.!.!.!.!.IF that ever happens!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i agree, i'm always shocked at the answers on this site!.!.!. i agree it's a lot of young people, but it's scary how many adults think these things too!!!!
it's no wonder people are scared of a veg diet when someone who stops their period thinks they are healthy! or people who really do end up starving cuz they don't know how to arrange their diet!.!.!.!. i went veg when i was 13 and there was much less info out there than there is now and i still didn't think these crazy things!
and the labels drives me nuts!.!.!. if you eat meat at all your not a vegetarian!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Finally somebody who tells it as it is!
I agree, I get so annoyed when an omnivore tells me that ''you cannot live without protein!!''!. I think of all the endless vegan sources of protein and it makes me giggle!
If you eat fish, you are far from vegetarian! LOL! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

FINALLY! this is exactly how i feel!.
the one i get sick of is "every vegetarian i've ever seen looks like a peice of asparagus" or statements that all vegetarians are pale!. to assume that being vegetarian makes you unhealthy is the opposite of the truth!!! i get really pale in the winter and now everyone thinks i'm pale because i've vegetarian!. i just keep saying, "wait!.!.!.did you see me last year during this season!? same thing!." it's incredibly annoying when closed minded people try and slam you with their simple way of thinking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm right there with you!
However, omnivorous ignorance is hard to overcome!. The meat and dairy industries supply (surplus) food and (biased) nutritional "education" materials to elementary schools!. When misinformation starts that early, it's quite hard to combat!
The second obstacle is doctors!. Until medical schools start requiring them to take courses in nutrition and diet related diseases, they will continue to spread the old line propaganda!. (Eat more protein, take more pills, have another surgery!.!.!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah you areWww@FoodAQ@Com
I have to admit that I find it pretty amazing that non-vegans meet a vegan, and are suddenly experts on nutrition and feel the need to tell you what they think about your lifestyle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If your question is because you and others are personally confused about those who don't "understand" veg'ism, I guess it is because it seems as strange and sick as we who are meat eaters seem to you!. It is like the "gay/lesbo" world!.!.!.shoved down your throat/in your face, forget anyone elses opinion!. Every veggie person I know is wearing their "choice" on their sleeve, seeking out offense, trying to persuade everyone else that their choice is the only healthy alternative, and screw any one else!.
It amazes me how little veggie persons realize they are the ones limiting their bodily function and capacity for being full of energy, feeling great and true health!. It is my personal choice as a person that never really liked meat, that If I wanted to be healthy, I needed to boost my protein by eating more red meat or be very ill for life!. Why are you so misinformed!? Not every body type is suitable to total or partial veg'sim!.
I think that for the most part it is a misguided aversion, almost mental illness that causes vegers to choose that life style!.!.!.equating humans with animals!.!.!.and delegating to them the same status as human beings, rights to life and such!.!.!.I NEVER met one who was against abortion!.!.!.talk about sick! Talk about abuse and murder!?!!!!
That is my opinion, and I'm stickin to it ! Please don't misunderstand my answer as antagonistic!.!.!.for I am not!.!.!.to each his own!.!.!.I do not try to convert vegers, just trying to explain how we "dumb guys" feel, those of us who don't have any "wisdom" whatsoever, when we are confronted with a beligerent, paint throwing, confrontational, self righteous prig who believes they have found the one and only way to health!.!.!.dumb guys, indeed! At least you don't seem to be in the above catagory, you just seem to pity us as the unenlightened ones!.
By the way!.!.!.this forum is about food and drink!.!.!.why does it always seem to be about vegeterians!? Y/A why don't you get them their own catagory!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
