Answers:
Just say that you have made a serious choice in your life that you believe in, if they can respect your choice then you will respect theirs!. There aren't too many people that will call you stupid and you aren't going to be able to sway a person like that at all!. A lot of people will ask me about my veganism and it really can be a civil conversation between everyone!. Just answer questions with total knowledge and you will be amazed at how many people will start wanting to try your food and start respecting you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is going to sound difficult, but trust me, this is the most effective way to ward off mean veggie-haters!.

DO NOTHING!. SAY NOTHING!. Don't even look at them!.

Remember, who is the one who is helping the earth!? You are!. Who is helping animals!? You are!. Who is helping their body!? You are!. You are right, they are wrong!. Pity them for their ignorance and insecurity, and completely avoid them as you would avoid a pile of dog poop!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

dont listen to them! its your own choice, explain to them why you chose to be vegetarian (animal rights, its healthier, etc!.) and if they still make fun of you simply tell them that you dont care that they are eating meat so they should have no problem with you not eating it!. just ignor them, i get this every once in a while and i know that no matter what i do i cannot change the way they feel so i just dont bother with themWww@FoodAQ@Com

Hey I am a mouth of experience, I gather you are a teenager (like me) I get a lot of crap for being a veggie !. I was off for two weeks from a operation and my m8 said to one of da girls in my class hey do you know whats up with whitney!? and she replied yeah shes probably ill because she a veggie!. He told me and this relli peed me off, so there was a big argument!. Another girl in my class said that all veggies all small ( i replied with not true as my dads friend is 6 ft !.3 and hes a veggie!.) I get loads of crap like that and ur not healthy blah blah blah!. But all i can say is, when the say something relli bad tell the truth and tell them why you are a veggie and all the facts and show the pictures!. If its not that bad just go yh yh yh wateva!. At first you may feel that every comment is really bad, when its not beaucse you'll be sensitive to stupid comments like i was , but until you work out which ones need sorting out just shrug them off!.

Hope this helps :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

nothing, just like if they drove a honda to school and you made fun of them, why should they have to become the defender of the honda!? Just ignore them, when you participate you only get more frustrated and it gives them a door to get you reacting!. it is just food!. they are getting worked up about tsomething they dont understand!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

oh man you know what!? ive asked myself that before!.!.

nothing ever makes me feel more offended than that!

i say everything i know, reply to their IGNORANT comments and CORRECT them! of course they will end up with their mouths shut (cuz the only things they say are "you need protein", "animals were put here by God for us to eat", "but the taste is so good (selfish)") but still think that they are right :/

BUT if it gets to the point that you are wasting your breathe, then leave it!.!. say to them "ok whatever, i dont wanna keep talking about this, there is no point" same thing with religion!! you wanna show the world and people will deny it BUT at least you did spread the word :) and did what you were supposed to!.!.!. i am happy i found out about vegetarian/veganism cuz i was at one point ignorant

always remember that you are NOT stupid, there is NOTHING wrong with being vegetarian/vegan!.!. instead it is ALL correct cuz you are being "animal friendly, body friendly (your health), and environmental friendly (cuz as we know, when they raise those animals its bad for the environment and global warming!.!. if u dont believe me go search it)!. see there is nothing wrong, only they are!.!. they eat something that is not so good for you, kill and make an animal suffer! plus dont care even when they see videos of them screaming!, and dont care about the environment!. (plus the fact that they are so close minded!.!. thats not good)

so dont worry about!.!. just speak up, defend yourself, know when enough is enough, and know that no matter how much they attack you with ignorant statements!.!.!. you are still in the right track

good luck!

btw!. one time an idiot told me that vegetarians/vegans have higher risks of colon cancer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH its the complete opposite! when he said that i realized that it was so not worth it to fight him!.!. i just said (holding my laugh) "that is so not true, it makes no sence, only the opposite way" and i ended it there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How do these people know you are vegetarian!? Are you boasting about it every chance you get and 'wearing it on your sleeve'!. I don't run around telling everyone my style of eating!. It only opens you up to ridicule for people who do not understand your lifestyle!.

Don't worry about what they think!.!.!.and you shouldn't have to tell them anything!. Its none of their business how you eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First of all, you shouldn't worry about what ppl say!.
If they attack you that viciously, THEY are the ignorant azzes!!
When u engage in convo or debates with stupid ppl, it makes u look just as dumb if not MORE, so don't say anything to them!.

Stand your ground and just ignore them!.!.!. they will never understand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it really bugs you do your research!. Vegans can quote 100 sources that claim veganism is the only way to eat!. Vegetarians can do the same and so can Omnivores!. Be able to defend your choice without criticizing theirs!.

Or ignore it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't need to tell them anything! Why should you have to defend your eating habits!. When they say something about your eating habits then just tell them OK and walk away!. Arguing the issue will only make them want to give you an even harder time about it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It happens to me all the time, so I just don't talk about it until someone brings it up!. usually i ask them why they care what i eat!? they shouldnt, it really is none of their business!. read a book by Michael pollen!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

ignore them and tell them it's your choice!.!.!.in the same respect don't judge them for eating meat!. I'm not vegetarian and more often than not, we rebound quickly because a lot of vegatarian try to push their views on us!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How old are you!? Are the other kids at school teasing you!? Here's a secret!. When you become an adult, people will stop being mean to you!. Just wait a few years!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

say that you dont care that THEY eat meat, so why should they care about you not eating meat!.
