Why do vegetarians often have a "holier than thou" attitude when dealing with us normal people?!
Answers:
Because they think we don't know the extent of damage, pain and suffering we are causing animals by consuming comercialy distributed products!. In other words they think we are ignorant!. And I don't mean to generalize, just the vegitarians that make you feel that they are "holier than thou"!.
I say ignorance is bliss - going to grab my shot gun now and taking off to Georgia for a weekend of killing animals to bring home and cook up something delish!!!
Oh - BTW - my hunting should offend vegitarians less because it's not like livestock that gets treated less than humanly it's entire life and then end in a miserable death - when I shoot it will most often be quick and with little suffering!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"1!. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical:"
By this definition of "normal", I think it's good not to be normal sometimes!. The only way society has ever morally progressed is when people WEREN'T "Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm", meaning they weren't "normal"!. For example, it was considered "normal" to own slaves by that definition, but obviously it was wrong to own slaves, and people who didn't conform to the norm were the ones who helped end slavery!. A couple hundred years ago, most people probably thought that abolitionists' attitudes were "holier than thou" too!. Now, I'm not saying animal rights is necessarily as important an issue as slavery was!.!.!. I'm just saying that it's not always bad to not be "normal", and the "holier than thou" accusation is really a dumb way to make nonconformists seem like bad people, when in reality it's always been the nonconformists who have been responsible for society progressing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's not 99% of vegetarians that are like that, any more then 99% of omnivores yell at vegetarians and tell us that we're going to die without meat!.
Definition #2 of your normal applies to vegetarians too - we function in a biologically normal way without abnormalities or deficiencies!.
There are extremists in any group who thing they need to shout that their way is better!. It's true in vegetarians, omnivores, Christians, Atheist, and a million other groups
Edit-
I did not say that being vegetarian was natural!. I get all the same nutrients that an omnivore does and my body functions the same as an omnivore's does!. There is no reason to insult my religion!.
Blessed be!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe it's because some of them are actually delusional enough to see an angelic/saintly halo when they look into a mirror!. But such attitudes are not limited to vegetarians/vegans!. I have often said that people who behave that way are probably like that in everything that they do!. You just see vegetarians here because this is the vegetarian section!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't think it's fair to use a blanket statement proclaiming that vegetarians often have a holier than thou attitude!. You may have encountered a few that stick out in your mind!. Most likely you've encountered more than that who don't!. You don't even realize they are vegetarian because it is only a portion of their life!. Don't let a few black sheep give you a false stereotype of vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There are some that are like that, but they are by no means the majority!. They are just the ones you talk to!. The majority of vegetarians, you probably wouldn't even realize they are vegetarian because they don't say anything about it!. But it all depends on your circle of friends!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
What would you know about normal!? I think you are misreading your own feelings!. It's not they are trying to convey that they are holier than thou, it's you who is feeling "less than the rest" and in your case it's appropriate!.
