People tell me I'm stupid for being vegetarian.... opinions?!
My friends always say that the animals will die regardless, but I just don't like the idea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Then tell them that you just don't like the idea!. If you don't want to contribute to animal deaths, even if someone else will, that shouldn't be so hard for them to understand!. If they're being disrespectful, don't even discuss it with them, but if they're mainly curious, just explain to them how you feel!. My best friend told me I was being stupid, too!. Not surprisingly, she's not my best friend anymore (and 21 years later, I'm perfectly happy being a "stupid" veg*n!.) And now I have friends that respect my choices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your friends are wrong!. The number of animals that are raised and slaughtered for meat depends directly on the consumer demand for meat!. Going vegetarian helps to prevent animals from being bred and slaughtered!.
Ask your friends if they've heard of "supply and demand"!. Buying meat directly increases the number of animals that will have to suffer and die in the future!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Although I've read nothing that suggests that a vegetarian diet improves your intellect, I have read reports of studies that show that vegetarians have a higher average IQ than meat-eaters!. By choosing to be vegetarian you've shown an ability to see past the advertising, industry propaganda and our ill-informed society to find a diet that is healthier for you, healthier for the planet and avoids unnecessary slaughter!.
So just feel good about your decision and if people abuse you on the subject, you know that there is no winning argument for a meat diet when up against the ethically superior vegetarian diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell them to mind their own buissness!. people shouldn't be pushing views on other people or telling others that their personal views are stupid- this goes for meat eaters having a go at veggies/vegans AND veggies/vegans having a pop at meat eaters for their choice of diet!. So no- you're not stupid- whatever diet you choose is personal to you- so form your own opinons as well as letting others have theirs!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
I didn't like the idea of eating meat so I stopped!. My friends thought I was going to far by not eating meat but I ignored them and stood for what i believe- that all animals deserve a life and they shouldn't be killed just for food when there are other food sources available!.
If animals have to give up their lives then why shouldn't we give up something!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should read Vegan Freak and listen to their podcast!. They have a lot of good advice!. I know it can be so frustrating but the best thing to do is diffuse the situation!. Just say that you feel differently based on your research!. Then change the subject!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
