Question: What do you say 2 people!?
what do you say to someone if they ask you Why Don't You Eat Meat!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
If someone asks me Why don't you eat meat, I either say "Same reason you don't eat humans!.!." (that keeps em quiet) or I'll just say "Because I am!"

;D hehe

That depends on who they are, how they ask and in what context they ask!. If someone I really don't care about is asking out of scorn, I don't bother answering; it's none of their business and nothing I say will satisfy them anyway!. Even if they are well-intentioned, I don't like to talk about it over a meal; chances are they are eating meat at the time and I don't want it to come off as judgement against what they have on their plate!. If the interest is genuine, I just tell them the truth: that I don't want to support industries that harm animals for food and that I feel like it's the right decision for me ethically, environmentally and health-wise!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do not and will never understand why people feel they have a right to question your choice of foods!.

I'm not vegan but I don't eat red meat!. I also do not eat Chinese food or lasagna!. I do not like the taste of any of those items!. Why should I have to explain myself to anyone!.

I don't eat tomatoes!. I'm allergic!. I've had all kinds of folk ask me about my eating a BL without the T!.

I find those kinds of questions (about food choices) intrusive and rude!. I don't think we owe them any explanation!. My first instinct is to say, "Because I don't," and walk away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You tell them the truth!. Seriously O_O

When i ask someone that, they most of the time tell me:

because i don't like it
because I'm vegetarian
omg and bunch more!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.be creative if you want to tell a lie ;)

I simply tell them that I don't believe something should have to die just to sustain me!. Animals are treated like meat-machines on factory farms and being a vegetarian is WAY better for your health than gorging yourself on meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Say:

I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals,
I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants!

Make it less uncomfortable by adding humour!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i say:
ive seen what they do to animals and i decided that meat is just not for me!.
they say:well i eat meat:
i say:i dont care what the hell you eat*walk away*Www@FoodAQ@Com

I give them a 1 hour explanation!. They never ask me again!.

I explain the:
Health benefits (This is easily consume 1 hour!)
Not enjoying meat to begin with
How the animals are treated
My experienceWww@FoodAQ@Com

"I did a lot of research into how animals are treated on factory farms and slaughterhouses, and I decided it's something I just don't want to support!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Health reasons!.!.!.I don't want to eat it!. If they get obnoxious, I try and keep my cool because they want a reaction out of me, and if they realize I'm not bothered by them, they tend to shut up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no reason to!. There is nothing in meat I cannot get from another source!. Nothing should have to die or suffer for me to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I say for health reasons!. I don't need to get into the whole animal rights debate - most people are just @ssholes about it anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because animals are treated unfairly and live their lives only to be killed or forever get milked and lay eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personal choice!. I don't feel like I need to justify my diet to anyone!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I say, "because I'm a vegetarian and we don't eat meat!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

You do not have to defend or explain your diet to any one!. They are just trying to get a rise out of you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I tell them I know too much about the meat industry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I tell them that I do not like the taste of suffering and death!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

its not about the animals, I did it for health reasons!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry, I do not know!. No one has ever asked me that question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

say, i dont like it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
