It INFURIATES mee!
I agree, theyve gotta be jelous, theres no other reason!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I go out of my way to try to be polite to the vegan/vegetarian crowd, but often times, it's the vegans that stand on the street corner protesting their cause du jour!.

Put it this way- when's the last time you saw a group of meat eaters protesting at a vegetarian/vegan restaurant!?

I respect your choice, and ask the same of you, but you're the people who throw blood on cars, yell at people with bullhorns (often in mixed-use areas that include areas where people live), and engage in what can only be described as terrorism to advance your cause!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The problem is that, with any minority group there seems to be a need to push their point of view down the throats of the majority!. (excuse the pun)!.
What I mean is that in any situation a person is eating a meal (being a meat eater) a vegan may voice their disapproval of them consuming that piece of meat!.
On the other hand a meat eater will not walk up to a vegan and make a lot of noise over the vegan eating a salad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I haven't witnessed such behavior outside of school!.

And, in school, the behavior was directed at vegetarians/vegans who failed to provide a good reason for their choice!.
This made them appear to not be genuine !.!.!. 'posers'!.
Like they just jumped on the bandwagon or just wanted to be different, special or part of a certain group!.
And it made them targets for harassment!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not all of them are mean to vegetarians/vegans!. Most of them are pretty nice and don't care about what other people eat!. :) I have a lot of friends that are meat eaters!.!. some of them think veg*nism is cool!. ;D

But *some* people here are just ridiculous, trying to troll the place, but ignore them!. They will never bother us and they're only making themselves look like complete morons!.

Oh, and the vegetarian stereotypes are getting old, but like I said, just ignore them!. We know we're rightWww@FoodAQ@Com

uhm actually YOUR being judgmental!. first of all i eat meat but im not mean to vegitarians, my best friend is a vegetarian you moron! so your judging every person that eats meat!? right i am!. second of all the term isnt called "meat eaters" your trying to make it seem like we're some monster!. you see very judgmental to me!. and why would we be jealous!? you sound like the typical judgmental person which i dont like, so maybe you shouldnt be so mean!. some people are so stupid these daysWww@FoodAQ@Com

I really wish I knew why people are mean to each other all the time for various reason or for no reason!. And for something as great and peaceful like veg*anism!? Why can't there just be love amongst all!?

And no one in a group of peope are the same so not all animal eaters are mean to veg*ans or vice versa, etc!. But if anything I blame PETA!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have been vegetarian for a very long time, and no meat-eater has ever been 'mean' to me because of it!. In my experience, most people couldn't care less what other people eat, and will stay out of your business if you stay out of theirs!.

I'm guessing you're very young; if you're friends are making fun of you, it's immaturity and they'll grow up!. The best thing you can do is smile sweetly and not react, as with any teasingWww@FoodAQ@Com

I am not mean to vegetarians!. One of my good friends if vegan and I respect her and her vegan lifestyle very much!. I have made a few jokes about grilling meat, and she pretty much set me straight!. It was a poor taste in humor and I apologized!. I have done research into an all plant diet, and have more respect for it now!. But I think I am in the minority though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians/vegans are definitely not critical of meat eaters!. I find that meat eaters are the ones who are critical of vegetarians/vegans!. I was a vegetarian for over two years and I just became a vegan a couple of months ago after watching the video on meat!.com!. Dairy cows and chickens are the worst treated animals!. My attitude is to each his own!. I choose to be a vegan and I love it!. It is a moral thing for me!. Being one makes me feel really good about myself and I am really healthy!. However, I have no problem with people who eat meat!. It bothers meat eaters though that there are vegetarian/vegans in the world!. Meat eaters do act like we are weird hippies!. They think it isn't healthy!. Eating meat, dairy, and eggs isn't healthy!. The only ones who should be having cows milk are baby cows!. It isn't meant for humans!. People tend to make fun of what they don't know about!. It is a very ignorant way to be!. My family has given me a hard time for being a vegan!. It really bothers them!. They thought it was a phase that would pass but after more than two years they see that I am serious and have back off somewhat but occasionally they will make jokes about it!. I have an aunt who tells me that she wishes I would stop being a vegetarian because I'm not getting enough protein!. I love her dearly but that is a really ignorant statement!. I get plenty of protein in my diet and I have never felt better!. I wish I became a vegan years ago!. I became a vegetarian after moving into my new home and having a cow pasture over my back fence!. I couldn't look at these beautiful animals all day and then cook a hamburger!. People like meat because it tastes good but they don't like to think about where it comes from!. When we go visiting we have to bring our own food!. Our family isn't supportive of our vegetarianism!. They think that there isn't anything for us to eat!. They think we sit around all day eating junk food!. Whenever my husband and I would go to his parents they would make us mac and cheese every single time!. I guess that was our best effort!. So I agree, meat eaters definitely are mean to vegetarians and I don't find that it is the other way around!. I think that meat eaters are jealous because we have a conscience and they don't!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No meat eater I know has ever been mean to me!. Why would a mature individual be like that due to my diet!? If you are talking about people here on Yahoo Answers, it's because they are immature and ignorant and have no clue what they are saying!. Feel sorry for people like that!.!.not threatened!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You think your meat eater friends/acquaintances are jealous of you because you're a vegetarian!? Are they fat and you're not!? I don't get it!. Not all meat eaters are mean and not all vegetarians are cool!. It's life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

look at what they eat!.!.!.

it is the same with an iguana that is a veg animal, give it meat and you have a whole other critter with a bad attitude!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We are only mean when you try to profess your superiority! We don't care what you eat or don't eat!. That just means that there is plenty more for the rest of us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians are very judgmental as well, saying eating meat is wrong when it isn't!.

I welcome the thumbs down that I will receive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They're not THAT bad!. My brother's practically addicted to meat and I'm a vegetarian!. He just doesn't know how we live that way!. Honestly, I think that meat-eating people should appreciate us!.!.!. More meat for them!Www@FoodAQ@Com

they're jealous because they dont have the self control - they think we're missing out on yummy meat and Gordon Ramsey can kiss my lily white ****!Www@FoodAQ@Com

because they fear things & peolpe that are diffrent - you choose to be diffrent that makes you strong & a threat to their reality , so they lash outWww@FoodAQ@Com

Because they are stupid and uninformed!. Ignorance is NOT bliss!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well i've only experienced it here so it must be obvious why they do it!. It's because they would never do it to our faces! Sitting behind a computer screen makes some people bold! But other than some of these meat-eaters here i've never experienced it badly, I mean my mom tries to put the occasional sausage in my mouth but it's all in fun!. SO mainly its when somebodies behind a computer when they wanna talk bad about us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's the vegetarians/vegans that are judgemental of meat eaters!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
