Are you one of those vegetarians who try to make meat eaters become a vegetarian themselves!. Or do you just leave them alone and let them eat meat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I don't convince people to become vegetarian/vegan - it's their choice if they want to become one or not!. But if someone asks me WHY I'm a vegetarian, then I am going to tell them that I don't like eating dead animal flesh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I've been a vegetarian since I was five, and have grown up around a family of meat-eaters! I don't think that you should try and change other people's beliefs!. If my friend or family wants to have a big juicy steak, I'm totally fine with that and it doesn't bother me at all !. !. !. as long as I don't eat it!. Im not the kind of vegetarian who is one for animal rights, although I do loooove animals, I believe that its just part of the circle of life and even though I wish animals weren't killed, at least they are being put to use in sociey's food system!. It will annoy me when hunters just kill for game and not even use the animal at all!. But overall, I believe people should believe what they want, and should learn and listen to each other's beleifs but not try to change them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I try to raise awareness of animal suffering by putting flyers up around town, handing out leaflets in busy areas, posting slaughterhouse videos on YouTube, etc!. Eating meat is a personal choice, but I think it should be an informed choice!. Consumers deserve to know how their food is produced!.
I don't walk up to people who are eating meat and harass them or anything like that!. My brother is a huge meat-eater and I've never once pressured him to become vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, because if you do that then more likely than not they'll be offended!. If their mother spends all day making a rib roast and you tell them that eating meat is disgusting and wrong then they'll feel insulted!.
I try not to argue, but a friendly debate is always good!. To me, being vegetarian just makes sense!. I don't think they are stupid for eating meat!. I ate meat and I liked it alot!. But it's a habit! I don't think enjoying the taste of meat is good enough of a reason to be a part of the death of a breathing, thinking and feeling animal!.
I would much rather have a meat eater figure out on their own and make a deeper connection to why they should give up eating meat rather than being pressured into feeling guilty or mindlessly following a trend!.

I only talk about my diet when I'm in situations where it's an issue, like eating lunch with co-workers!. And all I say is "I'm a vegetarian" or now, "I'm a vegan!." If they ask me any questions, I'll answer them, but I certainly don't preach to anyone or try to convert them!. I don't think I've ever known any vegetarians who do that, although I am sure there are some out there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There are two times when I talk to people about being a vegetarian (aside from this site, obviously):
1!. when i'm ordering food and I'm trying to make sure the restaurant didn't use chicken broth or something
2!. when someone asks me about it
I would never attempt to "convert" someone by preaching to them!.!.!.!.I think it's best to just be a good example and hope that others follow =)
I haven't had anyone go veg because of me, but many people I know have reduced their meat consumption after asking me lots of questions!.!.!.!.!.and when they ask, I'm happy to answer! =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

People like that are called "fanatics"!.!.!.they do not reflect personal wisdom of their choices, nor respect for the fact that others possess as much free-will choice as they do, nor do they reflect a good example of their sect--alot like religious fanatics!.
Meat is a fuel source for the body vehicle!.!.!.it is quite readily available, very assumable protein!.!.!.not my personal choice of things to put in my mouth, but if purchased from a reputable local farmer with ethics in his livestock raising & slaughtering, it is an option available to sustain healthful life!.
To each their own is my motto!.
Good Journey!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I let people do what they want and make their own decisions, and I expect to be treated in the same manner!. When I'm attacked for being a vegetarian, I reciprocate!. You respect me, I respect you!. If you want to give me ****, I'll give it right back!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm one of those vegetarians who will encourage meat-eaters to give up meat!. I'm not preachy but will always happily provide guidance to any meat-eater who wants to give up on these substances!. And believe me, there are lots of them around us :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't do that!. Never have!. I don't even say anything about it unless somebody else brings it up!.
I don't like other people to get my face about something; so I treat other people that same way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I encourage, and I sometimes can be a pain in the butt!. But I don't hassle people while they're eating meat!.
I've discovered that showing them tasty vegan food is a good first step!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
